Why You Should Use Laboratory Software

This blog will dive into the essential reasons why you should use laboratory software, particularly Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS). Laboratories of all sizes are turning to digital solutions to streamline their operations, enhance efficiency, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

Why You Should Use a Laboratory Software

In today’s digital age, our lives revolve around technology. From the moment we wake up to the time we go to bed, we are surrounded by smartphones, laptops, and various applications that simplify our daily tasks. 

Just like how we rely on apps to manage our personal lives, laboratories can benefit greatly from automation and digitalisation. Scientists and lab managers often find themselves bogged down by manual processes and the burden of handling errors caused by these processes.

Imagine if they could focus solely on their scientific research without the distractions of manual paperwork and data management. 

The traditional laboratory management mode is inefficient, the workload is large, the utilisation rate of laboratory equipment is low, and the laboratory environment and instrument equipment cannot be monitored in real time. Aiming at the current status of laboratory management in colleges and universities, an intelligent laboratory management system based on cloud computing and Internet of things technology is constructed, which can effectively monitor the laboratory environment and instruments and equipment in real time and dynamically manage and maintain them (Suiqun Li et al 2020 J. Phys.: Conf. Ser. 1549 022107). 

Software service mode (SaaS) is one of the modes with a large number of cloud computing users. Users do not need to buy software, only need to rent software from the provider and use it through the Internet, which is the development trend of future management software. It has advantages such as a long benefit cycle of one-time investment, on-demand service, flexible use and wide application range (Peng Rong, 2010, Dalian Maritime University).
