Modern pharmaceutical and non-commercial laboratories often have to process hundreds or thousands of samples annually. The laboratory has to be proficient in many different protocols often including gene expression, proteomic, genotyping and sequencing experiments, among others. These protocols are often very complex and detailed, and they can span several days from beginning to end. Further, in order to understand the success or failure any lab procedure, quality control data needs to be collected at key points in the protocol.
When the complexity of the lab procedures is combined with the need for sample and clinical/phenotype tracking, the lab technician can easily be overwhelmed recording and tracking important information relating to sample storage, phenotypic data and protocols. An integrated and easy to use software tool can greatly ease this burden and also facilitate GxP compliance and laboratory reporting. Exemplar LIMS assists in all these areas with the following features:
- Completely customize any LIMS form to track important data fields in minutes and with no programming
- Easily define complex workflows to track any sample(s) through a protocol from beginning to end.
- Easily integrate with instruments, equipment and applications
- Automatically ensure transactional auditing of all LIMS events
- Provide point and click report generation (PDF, HTML, CSV, etc) and customized reporting via a flexible plug-in infrastructure.
- Assists with FDA Part 11/GxP/HTA compliance
- Built in experimental support for Affymetrix (Genotyping, Gene Expression), Illumina (Genotyping, Gene Expression, Sequencing), ABI (Sequencing), 454 Sequencing, Sanger Sequencing, Agilent (Gene Expression), etc...
