Choosing the right laboratory information management system (LIMS) for your business

At CfPIE, our instructors aim to address the full scope of concerns pharmaceutical professionals have, from ensuring good manufacturing practices training and guidelines are established, to reducing time-to-market to improve sales and marketing activity.

As part of our commitment to the full timeline of your company’s activities, our The Drug Development Process from Concept to Market course includes due attention to laboratory compliance training, a critical step in the process to not only ensure the health and safety of your employees, but also to guarantee reliable and replicable results for your drugs and biologics.

One of the most important factors in ensuring great results is choosing a laboratory information management system (LIMS) or laboratory management system (LMS) that fits the needs of your staff, your business and the products in development. Laboratory compliance training can sometimes overlook the important step of user acceptance training for software, making for uneven reporting that can jeopardize a lab’s output.

To get the most out of your LIMS, choose a system that not only collects large datasets, but can automatically generate the reports you need to save time and flag any potential issues. We all know data is king in laboratory practice these days -- but often a pitfall of data collection is a focus on the wrong kind of data, or reporting that doesn’t truly measure or reflect the success of our efforts. A good LIMS prevents the laboratory professional from being overwhelmed by an abundance of data, and instead allows them to hone in on the essentials.

Additionally, a good LIMS will have built-in laboratory compliance training functions, programmable for your lab’s needs and set to alert employees to irregularities or concerns. This is a great way to ensure the health and compliance of your drug development, and to prevent mistakes resulting from complacency or oversight.

If you have questions about which LIMS is right for your company, our knowledgeable instructors can guide your decision-making. More importantly, taking our Drug Development Process from Concept to Market course will allow you to make contact with other professionals who can give their feedback and experiences during the course, offering fresh perspectives.
