The term “LIMS” is an acronym for “laboratory information management system.” It refers to whatever system a lab uses to manage their sample processing data. Today, that data management extends to every facet of laboratory functions, from customer service to invoicing and more. Your system may be paper-based (we feel your pain if so), or spreadsheets (still not pain-free), a mixture of both, or an actual LIMS application. [Read More]

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, is transforming industries worldwide with the integration of digital technologies, data analytics, and automation. Laboratories, critical centres for research, quality control and compliance, are also part of this revolution. Let’s explore how Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) are playing a pivotal role in driving laboratories into the future of Industry 4.0. [Read More]

When developing therapeutic antibodies, selecting only the strongest candidates for further clinical development increases the chances of successful clinical trials. The important decision of candidate selection can only be done right with high quality, accessible data from which insights can be easily drawn. Incompatibility between instrument output files and the system(s) containing the rest of your sample metadata makes deriving important insights difficult. Extract insights from your data the better way using LIMSense™ from AduroSys. [Read More]

Environmental and water testing laboratories play a crucial role in safeguarding our planet’s health and ensuring the availability of clean water resources. These laboratories are responsible for monitoring and analyzing various parameters to assess the quality of our environment and water bodies. However, to fulfill their mandate effectively, it is paramount that these laboratories maintain the highest standards of quality in their operations. [Read More]

Mining is not a new industry and as it has evolved, the industry has benefited from various technology advances including the invention and advancement of Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS). LIMS can increase productivity, optimize maintenance, improve safety, lower operating costs, and minimize environmental harm by reducing energy consumption. [Read More]

In this brief 2023 article published in the journal Tomography, Michele Larobina of Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche provides background on "the innovation, advantages, and limitations of adopting DICOM and its possible future directions." After an introduction on the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine standard, Larobina then emphasizes the benefits of the standard's approach to handling image metadata, followed by the exchange component of the standard. Larobina then examines the strengths and weaknesses of the DICOM standard, before concluding that DICOM has not only demonstrated "the positive influence and added value that a standard can have in a specific field," but also "encouraged and facilitated data exchange between researchers, creating added value for research." Despite this, "the time is ripe to review some of the initial directives" of DICOM, says Larobina, in order for the the standard to remain relevant going forward.
