How to Choose a Laboratory Information System: A Strategic Framework for Life Sciences
Research from the Standish Group indicates that 66% of complex enterprise software implementations fail to meet their initial objectives, underscoring the significant risk involved in upgrading scientific infrastructure. The real challenge isn’t simply selecting software. It’s avoiding the hidden integration costs that can reach up to three times the initial licensing fee. Choosing a laboratory […]
How to Avoid the Top 5 Most Common Mistakes in LIMS Selection
LIMS Selection is no small task. A laboratory information management system (LIMS) represents a central hub for managing many of the operations in the modern laboratory. Originally, LIMS were designed to be a simple sample tracking tool, enabling systematic control of workflows in regulated environments. Recent years have seen the evolution of LIMS into more […]
LIMS Selection for Genomics Labs
Next generation sequencing (NGS) is a parallel DNA sequencing technology that is able to carry out hundreds to millions of DNA sequencing reactions in parallel, along with the analysis of the sequencing data that is being produced. Utilizing this high-throughput NGS technology, researchers can now sequence an entire human genome quickly and relatively inexpensively, allowing […]
