What is a LIMS?
A LIMS or laboratory information management system is a type of software designed to improve lab productivity and efficiency, by keeping track of data associated with samples, experiments, laboratory workflows, and instruments. A LIMS acts as an additional member of your team, automating workflows and tracking all the important sample information, data, workflows, and QA/QC results your lab generates each day.
A modern LIMS has evolved from a sample-based tracking system to the digital backbone of the lab. It’s a tool that helps manage efficiency and costs. A LIMS does more than just keep track of your sample information, scientific data and results. It allows you to actively manage your entire lab process from instrument maintenance and samples to people and consumables. A LIMS manages laboratory samples and associated data, standardizes workflows, reduces human error and increases efficiency.

Thermo Scientific Watson LIMS software is designed specifically to manage bioanalytical studies, from initiation through study close out, and was designed with a deep understanding of the bioanalytical workflow and regulations. Study coordinators, scientists and technicians are able to move logically through each step in the workflow, simplifying bioanalytical support for nonclinical and clinical studies.
Sample management / accessioning / tracking
Good sample management processes are necessary to ensure sample integrity, data quality, and proper chain of custody. Sample management capabilities include shipment management, accessioning, and inventory management.
Instrument management
Monitor the status of the lab’s instruments, schedule work and maintenance. Manage storage capacity and freezers across facilities to maintain environment requirements for solutions, reagents, samples, etc., to ensure that they remain in the proper conditions.
Inventory management
Inventory and storage management functions retain where items have been stored and for how long. LIMS software manages stock supplies and reagents and can assign automatic reorder alerts.
Laboratory management
Understanding the overhead and capacity that your team can support is key to determining timelines, reporting on turnaround times, and resourcing projects. See a complete overview of samples that are queued and their status.
SOP compliance
Workflows guide analysts through each step of a method to ensure compliance to the SOP and captures the complete process history. Drive quality and compliance through repeatable execution of methods and processes.
Workflow capabilities
Users can quickly build workflows which map to actual laboratory processes, automating decisions and actions and reducing the need for user intervention. Labs can easily adapt to new methods and process changes.
Lab automation
Instrument control for liquid handling and synthesis work stations including Thermo Fisher Scientific and other vendors.
Collaborative work environment
Collect and share data securely in real-time with collaborators in your lab or across the globe.
Integration and connectivity
LIMS software can connect to enterprise systems like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) as well as laboratory systems including electronic lab notebooks (ELN) and Chromatography Data Systems and Chromatography Data Systems (CDS).
Cloud or on-premises deployment
The option to deploy using a Thermo Fisher managed infrastructure including servers, OS and database, backup, disaster recovery and information security monitoring, reducing initial hardware and ongoing IT costs.
Compliance
Secure system access and capabilities to comply with the latest industry regulations and data integrity guidance documents including GxP, ISO 17025 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
Security
Cybersecurity is critical to ensure data integrity and business continuity. Ensure secure data and system access on premises or in the cloud.
Mobile LIMS
A mobile LIMS application makes features available via tablet, wherever there is an available internet/network connection, so you can take the LIMS with you to execute methods and collect and process samples.
Dashboards and data visualization
Data can be visualized in the system through reports and dashboards enabling laboratories to track overall laboratory performance and assigned work.
Reporting and data analytics
Information in the LIMS can be reported on, shared, analyzed, and audited. All relationships and metadata are captured, enabling users to work with data in context.
Data archival
Ensure proper electronic records retention and data archival to comply with the latest regulatory requirements.
