Importance of ELN

The capability of consistently executing material test methods as set forth utilizing the ELN is crucial in industries that are highly regulated and require compliance, quality control, and collaboration to succeed. Standard procedures and testing methods require enforcement, consistent implementation, documentation, and direct integration with instrumentation. Performing the above promotes organizational efficiency, minimizing data entry and transcription errors and decreasing time-consuming and expensive investigations to demonstrate the integrity of laboratory and data processes.

Part 2 will discuss improvements of the Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN), focusing on HTML5 ELN and its full integration with STARLIMS QM 12.3.
