The FDA is responsible for protecting public health by ensuring that human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices are safe, effective and of high quality. Verification of data integrity is a critical aspect of this mission, and the FDA therefore expects that all data submitted to the Agency is both reliable and accurate. [Read More]

Off-the-shelf applications seem like easy, low-cost ways to replace laboratory paperwork, if you’re willing to accept their limitations. Rather than trying to meet your lab’s unique needs with a generic laboratory information management system, adopt a tailored LabLynx LIMS software solution that offers user-controlled configuration combined with extensions, integrations, and customizations.

As the two sides of the same coin, researchers in wet and dry labs (bioinformatics, AI/ML) work in unison to further scientific discovery. However, several challenges have been associated with connecting the wet and dry labs as well as integrating complex scientific instruments. Moreover, healthcare and pharmaceutical facilities face challenges related to data management – multiple disjointed and point IT systems have evolved over the past 20 years. L7 Informatics is taking a modern look at this architecture and building a scientific process and data platform with multiple apps on top of it. [Read More]

With Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) playing a critical role in the speed and efficiency of today’s molecular testing, it’s essential for laboratory managers and other stakeholders to understand the impact LIMS can have and how to choose the software that’s best for them. Here at SCC Soft Computer, we know it can be an overwhelming research process – but we are here to break it all down in this blog post. [Read More]

The pharmaceutical industry faces unique challenges as it is complex and challenging. Companies need to maintain a large amount of data on their products, including manufacturing, distribution information, and test results, while also ensuring the security of this information. Successful drug manufacturing in today’s competitive market requires navigating rigorous regulatory scrutiny, managing increased financial pressures, and executing complex testing methods. At this juncture, QLIMS comes to the forefront with its range of solutions. In this blog post, we will explore the advantages and applications of LIMS in the pharmaceutical industry. [Read More]

Known for its ease of configurability, the latest version of Matrix Gemini LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) from Autoscribe Informatics will be on show at the Paperless Lab Academy 2023. Unique among LIMS vendors, every configuration for each customer uses the same software. Configuration is performed using the built-in Matrix Configuration Tools which keeps all configuration separate from the core software. [Read More]

Environmental studies, such as wildfire research, are essential for a better understanding of the world in which we live. The study of wildfires' associated hazards can help us prepare for calamities, both present and in the years to come. The LabLynx ELab LIMS provides ample assistance to environmental labs by providing means for proper record tracking, documentation, sample tracking, and information sharing. [Read More]

In this 2022 paper published in Insights into Imaging, Beauchamp et al. focus in on the promise of "integrative diagnostics" as a means towards aggregating diagnostic data for more meaningful interpretation and contextualization, by extension translating to directly relatable clinical action. Looking specifically at radiology and pathology workflows, the authors describe what integrative diagnostics looks like, how the process should work, and what promise it holds for in vivo and in vitro radiology and pathology workflows. The authors turn to 24 different sources in highlighting the clinical potential of integrative diagnostics for a wide variety of diseases, highlighting the added clinical value and improved discovery possible with integrative diagnostics' application. After examining the current state of the art, the authors conclude by making several recommendations towards implementing integrative diagnostics, while also noting that "[c]reating financial models that demonstrate the economic value proposition of [integrative diagnostics] will be a necessary catalyst for change" for the overall health care system.
