| | Webcast Focus | OCTOBER 26, 2017, 1:30PM EDT / 5:30 UTC: Webinar “A Guide for Management: Successfully Applying Laboratory Systems to Your Organization’s Work Part 1” This webinar series is designed as a management level view of laboratory systems and is appropriate for anyone planning, reviewing, or approving the acquisition of laboratory informatics. A background in science is not necessary to follow the webinar material. Its purpose is to provide you with an understanding of how these technologies (Laboratory Information Management Systems, Electronic Laboratory Notebooks, Scientific Data Management Systems, Laboratory Execution Systems, Instrument Data Systems, and supporting technologies ) can be used to support/improve your labs operations, and the considerations that need to be taken into account before they are purchased.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2017, 2:00PM EDT/6:00PM UTC LIMS/ELN/LES: Uses, Overlaps, & Benefits In one hour, learn the benefits and use of Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), Laboratory Execution Systems (LES), and Electronic Laboratory Notebooks (ELN). An informatics expert will discuss the specific uses and benefits of each application type. The webinar will also review the convergence of functionality that is taking place in this space as well as why an integrated multi-system solution may work best in your lab, department, or organization.
