A Laboratory Information Management System offers a multitude of benefits in terms of laboratory data management. Some of the key advantages of using a LIMS system are:
- Sample management wherein a user can efficiently track samples through the laboratory and allocate storage locations.
- Workflow automation that leads to a decrease in possible human errors by eliminating manual entry of data.
- Configurable user interface to meet the unique requirements of different laboratories and match their existing workflows without compromise.
- Secure and restricted access using very strong RBS (role based security) to the data leading to better data privacy and protection.
- Ease of reporting, wherein an authorized user can quickly generate reports pertaining to (a) the various tests performed, and (b) data required for auditing and quick analysis (for example, the total number of samples logged during a particular period or from a particular region).
- One of the advantages of a LIMS system is the ability to track the preventive maintenance and calibration of the instruments used in a laboratory. A LIMS software can track all the activity, providing automated notifications to users for pending or overdue maintenance and calibration tasks. Additionally, it has the capability to monitor and log any incidents related to lab instrumentation as they occur.
- Easy regulatory compliance including HIPAA, 21 CFR Part 11, ISO/IEC 17025:2017, ISO 15189, EU GDPR, ISO 20387, Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), and Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP).
