LIMS
• Laboratory Information Management
Systems are information management
systems designed specifically for the
analytical laboratory.
• Typically, LIMS connect the analytical
instruments in the lab to one or more
workstations or PCs.
• Instruments such as chromatographs are used to
collect data.
• An instrument interface such as an integrator is
used to forward the data from the chromatograph
to the PC.
• The data is organized into meaningful information.
• This information is sorted and organized into
various report formats based upon the type of
report required.
• A full-featured LIMS will manage the various lab
data from sample log-in to reporting the results.
STARLIMS
• LIMS systems have now moved out of the
laboratory and on to the desktops of
laboratory data consumers, such as
research personnel, process engineers,
satellite laboratories and field workers.
