In unremitting lab environments, a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) plays a principal role in ensuring the lab and its research outcomes are insightful, effective, streamlined, and efficient. It’s critical that data—including the lab’s intellectual property—is managed with integrity, operations and workflows are proficient, human error is minimized, processes are compliant, and the team in the lab are trained to a high standard and working with overall adeptness. There is often a lot to consider and juggle at any one time with a busy lab, therefore LIMS software becomes the lin ..read more

Manual and paper-based processes; ineffective communication; minimal collaboration; a lack of data integrity – often there can be several competing factors you have to tackle within your lab at any one time. These can be hurdles impeding productivity and preventing you from truly realizing the scientific potential of your laboratory, or indeed advancing to make your laboratory environment more efficient and your workflows more productive. Spinning all the plates at the same time as serving the needs of an already demanding schedule can inhibit you from feeling organized and on top of it all a ..read more

It’s an increasingly common narrative: organizations find themselves dissatisfied with their selected LIMS provider, noting issues like unfulfilled promises, overstated product capabilities, slow support, and unexpected hidden costs. Let’s be honest, investing in a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is no small commitment. It is a significant business venture that requires extensive planning, not just for the immediate implementation, but for long-term success. Given the stakes, it is crucial to understand where things can go wrong so that you are better prepared to ensure they g ..read more

A LIMS, or Laboratory Information Management System, can undoubtedly be transformational. In any lab environment, efficient data management is fundamental to staying ahead in research, remaining compliant, and improving production quality and innovation. Calculating the investment of a LIMS and selecting the right software, from the right vendor can be a catalyst for progressing the operation and output of your lab. Conversely, choosing the wrong LIMS software, can lead to unexpected additional costs and operational frustrations further down the line. Given a LIMS implementation requires seri ..read more

From January 2026, Electric Vehicle (EV) and industrial batteries in the EU will have to comply with the EU Battery Regulation Amendment¹.   It is soon becoming unavoidable for the industry—and batteries with a capacity of over 2 kWh—not only to continue to navigate regulations², but also to demonstrate compliance and track and trace materiality through production and product output.   Regardless of the origin of the battery, a digital ‘passport’ will be required for the battery to be listed in the European market. The regulation is in place with the express aim of protect ..read more
