A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) plays a crucial role in increasing the operational efficiency of laboratories. As a key lab automation technology, LIMS streamlines workflows and automates work processes, eliminating the need for manual information maintenance. It also facilitates hardware integration, including lab robotics and automated instruments.

How Good Informatics Helps Increase Productivity in Labs

LabVantage’s Bob Voelkner speaks with Rita Peters of PharmTech at CPhI NA 2019 on the impact of good informatics on productivity.

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).
