Three ways Horizon improves public health efforts
Earlier this year, HORIZON Lab Systems and ApolloLIMS were acquired by the Clinisys Group to grow the organization’s community and public health diagnostics capability. HORIZON specialized in laboratory information management systems across several verticals including clinical, toxicology and environmental. Based on these verticals, it was our overall expertise in public health that acted as the […]
The growing importance of wastewater surveillance
With increased focus on laboratory testing of wastewater samples for communicable diseases like monkeypox, COVID-19, cholera, and polio, LIMS data will be more valuable to epidemiologists for biosurveillance monitoring.
Managing Monkeypox Testing in a Post-Pandemic World
Straight on the heels of a COVID resurgence this summer, US laboratories are bracing for yet another swing in their seemingly ever-changing staffing and resource needs to address new clinical and wastewater testing for human monkeypox virus (hMPXV). “The unexpectedly quick spread of monkeypox likely means our lab clients may have to invest in new testing,” […]
The Power Of Horizon LIMS Backed By The Clinisys Group
Earlier this year, HORIZON Lab Systems and ApolloLIMS and were acquired by Clinisys Group, growing the organization’s community and public health diagnostics capability. Clinisys is one of the largest providers of laboratory information systems (LIS), order entry and result consultation, and public health solutions in disease surveillance and outbreak management across the United Kingdom, Europe, and United States. The […]
Demystifying the Next-Generation Sequencing Workflow: Part 2
Clinical diagnostic laboratories have specific requirements to maintain chain of custody of all samples and data generated across the testing workflow, and this requirement is especially challenging for NGS-based tests, where many daughter samples are generated across the multi-day workflow. Clinical diagnostic labs also must retain patient data for at least 2 years after the test […]
Demystifying the Next-Generation Sequencing Workflow: Part 1
NGS Workflow Overview The NGS workflow is a multi-step process that creates some challenges for the diagnostic testing laboratory. The chemical processes generate many daughter samples that must be traced back to the original parent specimen. Laboratories need effective naming conventions and a robust LIMS that can maintain chain of custody across the workflow and […]
Developments in Diagnostics: Strengthen Your Lab’s Business Model
As we reflect on 2021, the ApolloLIMS team has noticed some interesting developments in the diagnostics space. The combination of the COVID-19 pandemic along with some other general developments within the biotech sector overall have combined to impact the diagnostic space for the better. The last year has been an exciting time to partner with […]
