Implementing a LIMS helps laboratories use fewer resources, speed innovation, and attain objectives faster. Thus, companies can introduce more efficient products to the market, decreasing carbon emissions.

Part 2 will discuss Increased Collaboration, STARLIMS Integrated Solutions, and Regulatory Compliance.

Increased Collaboration

Using digital solutions such as LIMS can speed innovation by increasing collaboration. A LIMS eases the sharing of data throughout a company. Using the same LIMS solution, a laboratory in the United States can work closely with a laboratory based in the United Kingdom.

Usually, the data of each lab would be siloed if they did not utilize the same type of LIMS. A common LIMS solution will eliminate their silos by providing storage for their data under a single system, which can be accessed by laboratory staff worldwide over a secure network. Centralization allows researchers to quickly access analytics and historical data, increasing cooperation and efficiency between remotely located teams.  

STARLIMS Integrated Solution

Implementing state-of-the-art technology, STARLIMS provides an integrated solution that incorporates LIMS, Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN), Scientific Data Management System (SDMS), Advanced Analytics, and a Mobile platform within a single application. This innovation makes building and maintaining custom interfaces required by third-party tools unnecessary.

The built-in analytics of STARLIMS can swiftly identify trends and the sources of problems impacting performance and causing production bottlenecks, allowing issues to be addressed sooner. Productivity improvement has been found to help companies reduce their carbon footprint.

Regulatory Compliance

A key benefit from the implementation of LIMS is improving regulatory compliance. STARLIMS, which is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant, can aid laboratories in complying with standards set forth by ANVISA, cGxP, FDA, ISO 17025, and other guidelines, including your company’s standard operating procedures.

LIMA improves regulatory compliance by easing the consolidation of your organization’s sample data and documentation, producing certificates of analysis for samples that meet specifications, and generating stability summary reports.

LIMS will store the details required for supporting IND (investigational new drug) applications. As opposed to gathering data from several departments, using a LIMS will centralize information, saving an organization’s resources and time when preparing regulatory filings.
