The adoption of a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) in high-throughput and research laboratories must deliver both operational efficiency and scientific rigor. The transition to new integrated systems must align business objectives with the technical nuances of the lab. To this end we offer the following services to help:
- Architectural Design & System Integration: Fundamental to a successful LIMS is a robust architectural design founded on the right technological choices. We help ensure accurate specifications, developments, testing and testability, including your diverse data streams and all integrating seamlessly with external business systems.
- IQ/OQ/PQ & Quality Assurance in Life Sciences: Especially in life science settings, Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) are paramount. In conjunction with our LIMS Project Management, we can ensure that the validations are meticulously addressed based on broad and deep experience in accreditation processes and by embedding quality assurance from the project’s inception to its completion.
- Strategic LIMS Selection & Supplier Management: Project Management of your LIMS project may start prior to selection of the LIMS and in such cases we will help structure and refine your selection process to ensure there will be no regrets. But, at whatever stage we join the LIMS project, we engage with all suppliers to leave no doubt to their responsibilities so we can deliver minimised risk throughout configuration and testing.
- Process Modelling for the Laboratory and Supporting Systems: For new or changing facilities and for those high-throughput operations that have not achieved optimal throughput, having insight into the processes to know where to modify the operations or to enhance the technology, makes a huge difference to efficiencies. We can provide the analysis necessary, including advanced Discrete Event Modelling, to obtain detailed quantifications of the past and future, that will guide decision-making to cost-effectively uplift throughput.
With the right approach, LIMS implementations should transform the organisation’s operations and take the laboratory through multiple and significant step changes in terms of its capabilities. We work with you on the above challenges and filling other technology gaps to ensure that this happens on budget and in a timely fashion.
