Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. The LIMS is an evolving concept, with new features and functionality being added often. As laboratory demands change and technological progress continues, the functions of a LIMS will likely also change. Despite these changes, a LIMS tends to have a base set of functionality that defines it. That functionality can roughly be divided into Pfunctions falling under each. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and an up-to date overview of laboratory information management system (LIMS). It covers the laboratory work flow and sample flow chart; the smart lab, lab automation and lab informatics; and the LIMS including its basic concept, evolution and trends. Further, the course will discuss the various types and benefits of LIMS application, ELN, LES, SDMS and LIS; the LIMS environment, architecture and features; the proper selection of LIMS; the LIMS preparation, implementation and validation; and building LIMS efficiently.
