The potential benefits to personalised medicine likely to be offered in the near future by genomics are huge. But to start realising them, laboratories need to overcome the challenge of ‘big data’ which could stop them embracing these new technologies, says Emma Huntridge of Clinisys.
In less than 3 years, the GLIMS Genetics dedicated molecular biology and genetics solution for laboratories, has quickly established itself on the market, thanks to its power, performance and flexibility.
Many labs still employ on-premise LIS and LIMS systems and face inherent challenges, including physical storage capacity limits, high capital expenditures, and burdensome technology administration and maintenance costs. Read three benefits of moving to a web-based laboratory information management system in the cloud.
Dudley’s laboratory implements the WinPath Enterprise laboratory information system and the latest version of ICE order communications and results reporting in a ‘big bang’ deployment.
Kim Futrell, MT(ASCP), MSHI Lab Administration, Public Health In times of serious laboratory staff shortages and dwindling medical laboratory scientist (MLS) graduates, having an effective laboratory workflow is crucial to maintain a productive lab. Today’s top public health labs (PHLs) are focused on how to develop and maintain efficient workflows so they can fulfill their […]
