LIMS ?
Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is computer software that is used in the laboratory for the management of samples, laboratory users, instruments, standards and other laboratory functions such as invoicing, plate management, stability lims, work flow automation. A LIMS and a Laboratory Information System (LIS) perform similar functions. The primary difference is that LIMS are generally targeted toward environmental or commercial analysis, such as pharmaceutical or petrochemical, and LIS are targeted toward the clinical market (hospitals and other clinical labs).
Impact of biotechnologies on LIMS
Biotechnologies have introduced a number of changes in the Life Science field. High Throughput spread from the limited field of drug candidate screening to gene screening, protein screening, etc. This make LIMS a new necessity, even in fundamental laboratories. In 1997 US FDA passes 21 CFR Part 11 rule on electronic records, signatures, and submissions that drives new electronic signatures functions within the LIMS.
