The relationship between data is extremely important to understand and effectively turn this data into information to help with business decisions.
Even though large amounts of data are being stored this doesn’t seem to be enough, it isn’t until people can see those data points and how they correlate to other data points that it becomes of value.
In the LIMS world this can be;
- Batches, samples and sub-samples… the genealogy!
- Instruments, their modules and associated components.
- Projects, requests and corresponding samples.
Like a family tree of linkages for the scientist to make decisions.
The interactive tree view in QLIMS shows the genealogy quickly on the screen and lets users navigate directly to parent and child records by clicking on the ID’s.
