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.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Process DevelopmentProcess development aims to optimize the performance of manufacturing systems. This involves the assessment of quality and efficiency of both processes and products. This is particularly important in the scale-up of chemical processes.Library PreparationLibrary preparation is a critical step in sequencing workflows, where DNA or RNA samples are converted into libraries for high-throughput, next generation sequencing. This step ensures accurate results and minimizes biases. Explore library preparation kits in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Beverage AnalysisBeverage analysis involves testing and evaluating the composition, quality, and safety of drinks, from alcoholic beverages to soft drinks. Techniques like chromatography and spectroscopy are commonly used to analyze flavors, nutrients, contaminants, and additives. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best beverage analysis tools, compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.
