We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "LIMS",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Accurate tracking of CRMs through bar codes from
Starna Scientific, which we summarised at the time by saying "Certified reference materials (CRM) sets supplied by Starna Scientific now feature set identification labels and support documentation that contain unique serial number bar codes".
The same day,
we featured the news release Clinical chemistry analyser has many attributes from
Randox Laboratories: "With a large test menu and time-saving, labour-saving and cost-saving capabilities beyond other benchtop analysers on the market, the RX Daytona should be an attractive and space-saving system".
In February 2008, we covered the news from Quality Systems International (UK)
concerning its WinLIMS Rental
- take a look at Rotech Laboratories chooses WinLIMS Rental.
which says: "Rotech Laboratories, a metallurgical testing and consultancy services operation based in Wednesbury, UK, is the latest company to take advantage of WinLIMS Rental from QSI".
Take a look also at the news release from BioMicroLab, The next generation of robotic tube handling,
as well as Automatic colony counter offers innovations from Quality Measurement Solutions,
and Labware increases presence in biobanking from LabWare.
