Introduction
Technology advancement has led to hike in data volumes in modernized laboratories. This data excess is a time for enhancing innovation and granting for timely and efficient decisions. However, huge amounts of data can lead to new challenges. This is true especially for data management and processing.
In order to meet the threat of turning this data into knowledge, laboratories are looking to automate and integrate lab activities and procedures as much as possible. The solution is Integrating laboratory instruments with Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS).
Instruments that are commonly integrated with Laboratory Information Management System Software in laboratories include GC, GCMS, HPLC, LCMS, ICP, Particle Counters, DNA Sequencers, Balances, Titrators, and AA Analyzers.
Benefits of Instrument Integration
The numerous benefits that laboratory can gain from Instrument Integration comprising:
Productivity and Operation Efficiency
Instrument Integration with Lab Management Software increases operating productivity with efficient analytical and resource planning data handling. Without the requirement of doing manual transcription or transferring data from the instrument to Lab Management Solution, a scientist can save even more time. This can improve overall productivity for the laboratory.
Data Quality and Integrity
Laboratory automation with instrument integration maintains data integrity and reduces data redundancies across multiple systems. Thus, instrument integration with Lab Information Management System can lead to better data quality and integrity.
Ease Data Transfer
Integrating LIMS System with Laboratory Instruments facilitate data transfer in the laboratory and information sharing throughout the enterprise including Food and Beverages, Agriculture, Clinical Research, Contract Laboratories, Metallurgy and Mining, Oil and Gas, Forensic Examination, Pharmaceuticals, Chemical Industry, Biotechnology, Biorepositories, Research Institutes, Manufacturing, Cosmetic Industry etc.
Increased Competitiveness
Laboratory Instruments Integration with Laboratory Management Software enhances overall competitiveness through improved collaboration and information management. Also gives better controls over the flow of each task and much more with the integrated Laboratory Information Management Systems.
Opportunity for modernization
Instrument Integration keeps the scientists away from time consuming tasks like data transcription, which provides more time to focus on work that leads to innovation. Moreover, Instrument Integration offers better error handling and data flow which further increase space for innovation.
Conclusion
In recent years we have seen the development of new tools and technologies in the laboratory informatics area where rate instrument integration is crucial and a key factor in boosting productivity, efficiency, data integrity and innovation in your laboratory environment. Indeed, LIMS like Revol LIMS have several tools available to ease interfacing instruments. Using Revol Interface to LIMS which helps to improve your organization’s Laboratory Management Solution adoption and utilization rates.
