Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)

eQMS::LIMS is a flexible Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) that streamlines processes and data flows throughout an analytical, research or quality assurance laboratories.

eQMS::LIMS unifies diverse sets of biological, chemical or physical data collected across corresponding analytical laboratories into a unified central database. Assignments, data and job queues are presented through a browser based user interface, hence any personal computer equipped with Internet explorer can readily access the system. eQMS::LIMS relies on workflow engine that automates overall analytical processes -- from sample reception till analytical report or certificate generation. The system provides mechanisms to predefine analytical procedures depending on sample type, purpose of analysis, owner etc, still allowing controlled modification of procedures thus fitting well into both routine and one-of environment. Data collected through eQMS::LIMS are accessible using comprehensive query facility - all analytical data are available in XML format or can be exported in XLS format for further analysis.

eQMS::LIMS is a role based system where organization and organizational roles are mapped into the system. Depending on the user?s role, access to the data and system functions are defined. eQMS::LIMS implements audit trail functionality thus allowing the organization to check what was changed, when, where, why, and by whom.

The key characteristics of eQMS::LIMS are:

• Increases productivity and improves quality.
• Cover the whole laboratory workflow, without need for paper steps.
• Provides complete traceability of every sample.
• Reduces the quantity of clerical and administration work.
• Provide flexible reporting functionality.
• Provide consistent, efficient and comfortable user interface (with lookups, query-by-example searches etc).
• Enables seamless integration with other IT systems.
• Standards based (supports 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 17025).

Thanks to its architecture eQMS::LIMS functions and data can be accessed through various channels such as mobile phones for example thus offering platform for implementation of rapid alerting or critical control point monitoring applications in HACCP environments. eQMS::LIMS will also find its place in highly regulated environments and those that need to follow certain regulations such as RoHS / WEEE directive.
