Laboratory data management

Soft Independent Method of Class Analogy (SIMCA), a pattern recognition technique based on principal components (25) was selected to evaluate and apply to the problems of establishing similarities among sample residue profiles. The development of a laboratory data management system to assist in the calculation and organization of results greatly enhanced the feasibility of this approach (26). 

Any deviations from the normal skeletal pattern are recorded (Note 4). Various commercially available laboratory data management software are available to capture and process all findings in a GLP-controlled environment.

General Laboratory Data Management and Specific Laboratory Needs... 

The Lab Manager system is an efficient and comprehensive laboratory data management computer system designed and implemented to specifically accommodate the unique operations of diverse laboratories. The configurability and adaptability of the Lab Manager system promotes productivity, allows creation of systems meeting individual laboratory needs rapidly at low cost and permits the system to inexpensively and expeditiously adapt to evolving laboratory operations. 

A laboratory data management system has been implemented some years ago. For technical limitations, the review of the raw data collected in the system is done on paper, but the data in the system is used later on for the GMP-relevant evaluations Question... 

This chapter will give an overview on applicable regulations, software development issues, and software types encountered in the laboratory. We will address some typical situations, where the technologies described in the previous chapters can be useful to support laboratory data management. 

Automation of analytical instrumentation, sample preparation, laboratory data management techniques, and process analytical chemistry (M>), has been an important component in the improvement in productivity in the analytical laboratory. The integration of expert systems into the automation process will become increasingly commonplace for laboratories in which large amounts of data must be managed, and complex quality assurance programs maintained (LJi)- When instrument control and data... 

A laboratory information management system (LIMS) is a computer or computer network used to automate the acquisition and management of raw analytical data. In its simplest form, it tracks samples and test results through analytical laboratories and provides summaries of the status of these samples and tests. In its most advanced form, the system is interfaced to the laboratory s instmmentation and communication network to allow automation of data gathering, compilation, and reporting. 

Laboratory Information Management System. The QC lab must analy2e raw material, in-process, and finished product samples adhere to cahbration schedules record data and perform statistical analyses. These activities lend themselves to the appHcation of software packages such as a laboratory information management system (LIMS) (qv). An inexpensive LIMS is within the reach of even small laboratories. 

Fear of Fraud It is illuminating that there are companies that lock the input to a computer system (specifically a so-called LIMS, a Laboratory Information Management System) in such a manner that it takes the supervisor s password and signature to correct a missed keystroke, even if this is noticed before the (Enter) key is pressed. If the unwitnessed use of the (Backspace) key betrays malicious intent to falsify raw data, then every scientist should be in jail. 

Data Management, Analysis, and Reporting Alternatives for Laboratory Instrumentation... 

Laboratory information management systems, or LIMS represent an integral part of the data management systems used in preclinical development. LIMS... 

Modern NMR software covers all facets of MR applications and assists the laboratory staff and the research groups not only in the standard procedures of scan preparation, data acquisition, reconstruction and analysis, but also offers an appropriate development environment for user defined measurement methods and data analysis algorithms and provides easy-to-use tools for data management, documentation, export and archiving. The software allows the user to run complex NMR machines in a routine manner and to integrate the spectrometer into the laboratory infrastructure [7]. 

Data systems, more broadly known as Laboratory Information Management Systems, are in almost universal use in laboratories, allowing the collection of mass data required by parallel and high-throughput analytical...
