Transitioning to cloud architecture can offer a multitude of benefits to laboratory adopters. However, there are still significant questions to address and tangible deployment at scale has been rare. Cloud technology adoption is likely to be gradual, and yet it is only once laboratories deploy to the cloud that will they be able to realize the full potential of laboratory information system (LIS) or laboratory information management system (LIMS) software. [Read More]

In the constantly evolving world of laboratories, it is crucial to adapt to the future to maintain excellence. Laboratories that adopt Software as a Service (SaaS) LIMS are at the forefront of innovation. Unlike traditional on-premises installations, SaaS LIMS is a flexible solution that ensures laboratories remain future-proof. Let’s delve into the transformative capabilities of SaaS LIMS and explore how it revolutionizes the way labs operate and evolve. [Read More]

Accreditation to and compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 drive laboratory quality, which in turn better meets the requirements of the lab's customers. ISO/IEC 17025, and its quality focus throughout the lab’s workflow, provides tangible benefits by producing valuable analytical results that drive safer, more high-quality products and services, and improving costs, efficiencies, customer satisfaction, safety, and economic value.

In this 2023 paper published in the journal High-Confidence Computing, Manisha and Jagadeeshwar present their custom food quality traceability system, which combines various tools like blockchain, internet of things (IoT) mechanisms, and deep learning architecture for improving traceability about perishable food supply chains (PFSCs). Noting previous works that incorporated some but not all of these elements, each with their own downsides, the authors chose a system model that incorporates blockchain-enabled RFID scans that, upon verification, get added to the overall secure ledger, along with associated IoT-base metadata from sensors gauging humidity and temperature. The duo turns to milk manufacturing and distribution in their case study, applied to their blockchain-enabled deep residual network (BC-DRN) methodology. After examining and comparing their results to other prevalent methodologies used in supply chain management (SCM). The authors conclude that their BC-DRN traceability system, when gauged on metrics like sensitivity, response time, and testing accuracy, beat out other methods. They add "the performance of the devised scheme can be improved by considering better feature extraction techniques. "
