Part 2 will discuss the critical components of STARLIMS.

Decrease Costs and Boost Laboratory Productivity

Flexible and configurable, STARLIMS lets organizations handle numerous kinds of laboratory processes and workflows without programming. The solution can address various testing requirements and automate the processes from collection to report generation.

• Data management by exception instead of a review of nominal results
• Automatic flagging and real-time comparison of results to defined specifications
• Complete tracing of lots and inventory, integrating chain of custody and lot genealogy
• Management and tracking of every auditable electronic record, including the comprehensive overview of every laboratory resource performing specific analyses
• Creation of protocols and studies, improving the visibility of items requiring product pulling or testing.
• Management of formulation and microbiology data
• Performance of trend analyses and processing of control charts
• Management of test results by external customers

STARLIMS Lab Execution System (LES)

STARLIMS LES laboratory users can efficiently document their work during in-lab execution. This ability is essential for ensuring compliance with Standard Operation Procedures (SOP), improving efficiency, preventing transcription mistakes, and rendering some required peer-review steps within GxP-regulated environments unnecessary.

STARLIMS Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN)

STARLIMS ELN replaces the use of paper notebooks by laboratories. Powerful, the ELN is capable of capturing interim result data in tables. In addition, the solution can create calculations in real time utilizing standard Excel formulas. Moreover, it can add pictures, annotate, and include attachments.

ELN’s interface features a flexible canvas, capturing and storing data in a centralized, searchable, and easily accessible repository. In the meantime, the solution maintains compliance with the record retention standards of an organization. Users also have visibility during the execution of steps, helping ensure compliance.

STARLIMS ELN lets lab personnel perform their tasks efficiently, allowing them to execute test workflows without interruption.
