Key Laboratory KPIs and Lab Metrics Tracking Made Easy with a LIMS
You can’t improve what you don’t measure, and this cuts across industries. A recent study found that organizations that use data-driven decision-making are 5–6 times more likely to see major improvements in productivity and performance. For laboratories, whether in clinical research, cannabis, veterinary, or environmental testing, this is equally true. Labs operate in tightly regulated, […]
Decode Compliance and Quality Standards Requirements with a Water LIMS
Water quality directly impacts public health and the environment, which means maintaining stringent standards in water testing is non-negotiable. The stakes are significant, and even a single error can result in substantial fines and may jeopardize public health and safety. For example, failing to comply with regulations like the Clean Water Act (CWA) can lead […]
LIMS Data Migration: How to Ace the Journey from Planning to Post-Migration Evaluation
Data migration, at its core, appears deceptively simple—a process aimed at transferring data from an old system to a new one. When performed well, labs are better positioned to derive more value from their laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and their data. However, LIMS data migration can be quite complex and risky if not executed […]
Green Tech for Greener Biobanking: How Biobank Software Leads the Decarbonization Drive
The need for decarbonization is becoming increasingly urgent as the world grapples with the severe consequences of climate change. With growing emphasis on reducing carbon emissions across various industries, it is inevitable that the energy-intensive nature of biobanks, responsible for storing valuable biological samples, comes under scrutiny. Biobanks, essential repositories of biological materials, play a […]
Breaking the Cycle: Effective Strategies for Cannabis Testing Labs and Regulators to Address THC Inflation and Lab Shopping
The legalization of cannabis in different states in the US has resulted in a rapid expansion of the industry. It is predicted that the regulated cannabis industry will reach $82.3 billion by 2027. The primary factors contributing to the growth of the cannabis industry are the increasing acceptance and legalization of cannabis for both medical […]
