What is a LIMS? Laboratory Information Management System! Even laboratory staff don't know the term or what a LIMS can do for them. Since my first encounter with Lab-i in September 2009 I have learnt a lot about laboratories and the analysts that work in a laboratory environment. I was exposed to an environment that was new to me.
Analysts and laboratory staff are very efficient. Being in sales most of my life, I met with people who wouldn't mind telling you outright that they had no idea what you were talking about. When it comes to sales, this is awesome. They would listen and then give you a straight answer - or as straight as they could, depending on who has the spending power.
I truly feel all laboratories should use a LIMS. For a commercial laboratory this will be a complete business solution as LIMS can be integrated with your existing systems, like accounting packages etc. Don't wait until you're snowed under by paperwork before considering a LIMS.
QBCon Lab-i will be customized to your needs and can be updated as your business grows. The bottom line is a LIMS will make your life a whole lot easier.
Until next time,
