Laboratory information management systems or Lims as it is commonly called is a lifesaver for many. It is the perfect amalgamation of laboratory software and an information management structure all rolled in one. In fact the best part of this software is its dynamicity which matches perfectly with the ever evolving world of laboratory management. Its usefulness can be measured by the fact that different specialists have different definition for the same. This tells us how multi-faceted this software system is.
Key features of this software
It has a flexible architecture which offers tracking support for data and workflow and also interfaces for exchange of data. Its key features includeà
