Integration strategies for digitizing your lab
19 Mar 2021Integrating your lab equipment with your lab information management system (LIMS) is a powerful step towards digitizing your lab, as it provides an error-free data flow which can then be delivered to whichever part of your drug discovery process needs it.
In this white paper, Titian Software discusses various approaches to integration and questions to consider, with a focus on liquid handling and sample processing.

LIMSLIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is an informatics software system used to improve the quality assurance and quality control (QA / QC) of data management. LIMS can be a standard for common lab workflows, such as commercial off the shelf systems (COTS), or customized for more specialized lab use. Systems are available for mainframe computers or PC.Automated Liquid HandlingAutomated liquid handling equipment is used to mix, dilute and dispense allotted volumes of liquid into microplates and other vessels automatically. The robotic, liquid handling arms can dispense from single channel to 3456 multichannel as well as operate nanoliter dispensing, enabling high throughput of samples.

For instance lab software is available for system control, data management, data analysis and qualification / validation.LIMsSample ProcessingSample processing is required to prepare samples prior to analysis. Technologies used for sample processing include homogenizers, grinders, mills and mixers.Liquid HandlingLiquid handling involves the precise transfer, mixing, and dispensing of liquids in laboratory settings. It is essential for accurate and consistent results in biological, chemical, and pharmaceutical research. Automated liquid handling systems improve efficiency and reduce human error in sample preparation and analysis.
