Genome sequencing lab requires the ability to select and track a large amount of samples through many experimental steps. Therefore, a laboratory information management system (LIMS) is needed to provide a way of automating the laboratory experimental procedures and track the samples (Yang, J., Zhu, S., Xu, G., & Han, C. 2017). Would you like to dive into optimising genomics workflows with LIMS?
Maximising Efficiency with Integrated Workflows
Genomics research involves multi-step processes, from sample quality control to sequencing and data analysis. Managing this efficiently is critical to a lab’s success. QLIMS provides a centralised platform to manage every step, ensuring no sample is lost or untracked, and that workflows are streamlined.
With integrated workflows and automated reporting, QLIMS reduces manual interventions, saving valuable time and reducing errors. This allows lab managers to focus on high-impact tasks, as every step of the process is logged, tracked, and available for review, ensuring that your lab operates at peak efficiency.
Automation and Compliance at the Forefront
Automation is vital for genomics labs dealing with complex workflows and large datasets. QLIMS supports seamless automation between systems and instruments, reducing manual errors and providing consistent results. This automation ensures compliance with industry regulations, including CFR 21 Part 11, which is essential for labs working with electronic records and signatures.
Through electronic signatures, audit trails, and out-of-specification tracking, QLIMS helps labs maintain compliance effortlessly. Whether tracking deviations or maintaining records for regulatory bodies, QLIMS makes the process simple and automated, removing the burden from lab staff.
QC and Sequencing Integration: Ensuring Data Integrity
Quality control (QC) is the backbone of reliable genomics research. Ensuring that sequencing data is valid and accurate requires rigorous QC processes. QLIMS integrates seamlessly with a variety of QC instruments and software, automating quality checks throughout the sequencing process.
This automation not only saves time but ensures that labs meet the highest standards of data quality. By embedding QC into the workflow, QLIMS helps genomics labs achieve consistent and reliable results, tracking every step from sample preparation to data output.
Leveraging AWS for Secure and Scalable Solutions
Data security and scalability are critical in the world of genomics. QLIMS leverages the power of AWS to store data securely in highly reliable data centres. This ensures that sensitive data is protected while offering the flexibility to scale as your lab grows. With the peace of mind that your data is secure, your team can focus on what really matters—driving breakthroughs in genomics.
Another piece of good news! You can even purchase QLIMS from AWS Marketplace, how easy it is to start revolutionising your genomics labs with QLIMS, click here to check it.
QLIMS offers a modern solution tailored to meet the specific needs of genomics labs, enabling them to enhance efficiency, ensure data quality and maintain compliance with industry standards. Additionally, QLIMS leverages the secure data centres of AWS. This ensures that your data is protected, giving you peace of mind regarding its safety and security.
