LIMS TECH

The laboratory information management system (LIMS) is a computerized data management program that provides the storage, retrieval, and analysis of all relevant laboratory data. When coupled with an electronic notebook (or ELN), it enables scientists to create detailed records in high-throughput workflows... It is also important to consider the nature of scientific research itself when discussing why modern scientists need more sophisticated data management tools. Science demands more than ever from researchers today because it has become so complex. Not only are scientists required to be experts in their field, but they must also have a working knowledge of many disciplines besides their own. A scientist specializing in organic chemistry might have to consult databases on biochemistry, genomics, immunology, pharmacology, and mathematics for his or her experiments. LIMS help by allowing each expert access to all the information they need at once instead of making them work with..
