What's a LIMS?
LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is software designed to electronically store laboratory data. It is the accepted standard for data storage and retrieval throughout the analytical laboratory industry. Though each commercially available LIMS has different features, LIMS allows you to manage a sample with your computer system, and record/retrieve results electronically.
Why LIMS, we keep all our lab's data on paper, or we have already use spreadsheets
Put records on paper are easy, but when your lab start to accumulates the testing records, results and documents, it will be issues and this issues will become a problems... Excel spreadsheets are great helper, but workbooks require repetitive data entry to get whole testing data input (from customer samples to result and from results to invoice... ).
