Leading technology vendors like Illumina, ABI, Affymetrix, Agilent and many others continue to innovate at a rapid pace. Completely new technologies are introduced monthly, making it very hard for laboratories to keep up with often complex and involved protocols, and the inherent demands of implementing a new procedure and its related information tracking requirements. A flexible LIMS product, like Exemplar LIMS, can ease this burden by:
- Allowing for complete customization of any LIMS form to track important data fields in minutes and with no programming
- Allowing for the easy definition of complex workflows via an intuitive drag and drop wizard to track any sample(s) through a protocol from beginning to end.
- Allowing for an Exemplar workflow to serve as the protocol guide for the lab technician so they know exactly what is required at each step.
- Allowing for detailed validation of each task in a workflow via a powerful Java plug-in architecture.
- Providing built-in protocols for Affymetrix and Illumina genotyping and gene expression experiments.
- Assisting with FDA Part 11/GxP/HTA compliance by providing controlled procedures
Exemplar’s Workflow Manager allows for tracking items like plates, samples, aliquots etc. through a protocol. Integration with instruments can even be part of the workflow as well as integration with other applications.
