Laboratory Information Management Systems Reviews and Ratings
What are Laboratory Information Management Systems?
Gartner defines laboratory information management systems (LIMS) as a laboratory informatics solution to manage sample scientific test data and processes, from sample login to results reporting. While an enterprise LIMS solution can capture, record and report information in smaller labs, it also supports digital workflows and enterprise data management and analytics throughout networked labs across the enterprise. LIMS are essential for managing sophisticated laboratory workflows in digital laboratories. LIMS are widely used by R&D, quality and manufacturing groups across various industries.

Features of Laboratory Information Management Systems
Mandatory Features:
Data management: Supports the ability of laboratory users to store, manage and analyze large volumes of data. This includes data capture, data analysis, and calculations and modeling — eliminating the need for paper forms and spreadsheets.
Workflow management: Automates laboratory workflows, including sample processing, testing and reporting. This helps to reduce errors and increase efficiency.
User management: Enforces security and controls for user- or role-based access with rules or permissions to access, write or change information within the system.
Reporting: Facilitates the ability to report results or generate a certificate of analysis (CoA) that may show individual sample or trending data across sample sets using various parameters such as final test results, instrument data or operational workflows.
Search, data insights and visualization: Exposes data for search and analytics. In many cases, this data can be used for more sophisticated data exploration. Some LIMS vendors are now unlocking their underlying data model to expose data to third-party tools or building out their own data and analytics layer.
Audit capabilities: Creates real-time audit logs for sign-in, access and data movement policies with time stamps and unique identifiers for personnel who have access permissions to make changes and create, write, report, analyze and view data.
Sample tracking: Enables laboratory personnel to track and manage end-to-end samples, from collection to disposal. This includes sample tracking along key steps such as initial requests, registration, storage, tracking, processing, retrieval and disposal.
Protocol or method management: Enables users to clearly and routinely follow laboratory protocols, such as experimental design, standard and customized methods, and testing rules.
