What is LIMS
LIMS, initially referred to as Laboratory Information Management System, has evolved to describe various management activities related to laboratory automation. As laboratory operations become more standardized and complex, there is an increased demand for diverse functionalities in LIMS.
LIMS systems can be utilized for managing samples, instruments, inventory, providing quotes, invoicing, security management, audit trails, document creation, scheduling, replacing lab notebooks, ensuring regulatory compliance, and featuring management modules tailored for specific industry research needs (e.g., biobanking).
