      The Use of LIMS to Fuel Oil and Gas Production With so much in the news every day about our search for new fuel sources to power the world, from the issues related to hydrolic fracking and deep water drilling to tar sands exploration, I thought it would be of interest to explore just how complicated it is to extract oil and gas, to process it and to move it around.  A laboratory information management system (LIMS) is regularly used in the analysis of oil and gas from the exploration stage through to production and shipping to determine quality, and to adhere to ISO 17025 regulations. Several items in this ... (Read Full Article)

      LIMS Innovations Contribute to Gains in Translational Medicine

      LIMS technologies are changing to meet the newest demands of scientific research.   A recent article written by Kevin Davies of BioIT World illustrates how a LIMS can help manage the complex sampling required for next-gen sequencing (NGS) used in cancer diagnostics.  Laying the Foundation for Next-Gen Cancer Diagnostics  illustrates the innovative work being done by Cambridge-based Foundation Medicine, one of the leaders in this relatively new field.   For an in-depth look at the work of Foundation Medicine and the LIMS solution that is helping its scientists keep track of all of that genetic data, another good article published by 20 ...

      LIMS Automates Regulatory Reports for Environmental Industries

      A number of articles have been written over the past few years that discuss the data management challenges facing many laboratories today. In this blog post, we’ll discuss one industry in particular, the water and environmental industry. Future blog posts will discuss LIMS and laboratory integration in the food and beverage industry, life sciences, and heavy process industries.

      LIMS: Managing Medical Data of 500,000 People!

      Recently, Labmate Online reported on a new medical biobank of data on over 500,000 people made open by UK Biobank in Manchester, UK, to help researchers to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. This biobank of data is being developed, managed, stored, and reported using our laboratory information management system (LIMS) for biobanks and biorepositories (Thermo Scientific LIMS) and I am extremely pleased to present a case study on this project! Customer: UK Biobank UK Biobank is a major medical research initiative based in Manchester, UK and its goal is to build the ...
