ISO 17025 Documentation within a LIMS Solution using Matrix Gemini LIMS - Part 3 ISO/IEC 17025:2005 is used by laboratories to develop their management system for quality, administrative and technical operations. This series of articles examines how a well configured LIMS, such as Matrix Gemini, can make a significant contribution to the fulfilment of ISO 17025 requirements in areas over and above the direct management of data related to sampling, testing and reporting. In Part 1 of the series we looked at how Matrix Gemini can help with the management of documents, while Part 2 focused on the management of corrective and preventative actions (CAPA).
Data is the Key in New UK Food Standards Approach The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) has published a new 16 page white paper entitled ‘Regulating Our Future – why food regulation needs to change and how we are going to do it’. The FSA is responsible for ensuring that an effective regulatory policy is in place to verify that food businesses meet their obligation to ensure that food is both safe and is what it says it is. This new document consistently highlights the importance of accurately reported data going forward, and for food manufacturers and processors, the use of an appropriately configured Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) could be an extremely important tool to help meet these requirements.
Improving Efficiency in Delivering Clinical Laboratory Results Using a Cloud-based LIMS The move from strictly paper-based processes in the clinical research laboratory to processes that are more automated and paperless has been ongoing for several decades. Driving this change has been the promise of greater laboratory efficiency and more time for laboratorians to focus on other aspects of the lab. This move from paper to electronic information management has required a solid in-house information technology (IT) foundation that includes investment in hardware, data management software like a laboratory information management system (LIMS), middleware, and IT personnel to manage it all.
Does Substance Matter? – A 2017 Lab Informatics Review 2017 has been characterized by daily chaos, uncertainty and loud voices shouting at one another from polarized positions. What will 2018 bring? As we look back at 2017, what were the main substantive changes that have occurred in the laboratory informatics space and how will those impact 2018? In a 2017 Review of Laboratory Informatics… |
