COURSE OVERVIEW

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 five laboratory processing phases, with numerous software functions 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.
