A LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is an information system whose main function is to manage samples from receipt in the laboratory to the final analysis report.
Users can enter all information regarding sample analysis such as sample number, batch used, date, time, place of sampling, person who made the analysis into the LIMS, allowing complete sample traceability. Data can be entered manually or be imported from different measurement equipment.
LIMS also provides complete results reporting and integrates with other systems such as QMS (Quality Management System) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning).
LIMS also provides control and laboratory data management system, allowing information sharing between project teams and users such as engineers, technicians, operators and customers.
