The definition of LIMS is as follows

 

The definition of LIMS is as follows: LIMS connects analytical instruments in a laboratory through a computer network, using scientific management concepts and advanced database technology to achieve comprehensive management of the overall environment centered around the laboratory. It integrates many modules such as sample management, resource management, transaction management, network management, data management (collection, transmission, processing, output, publishing), report management, etc., forming a complete laboratory comprehensive management and product quality monitoring system, which can meet the daily management requirements of external parties and ensure strict management and control of laboratory analysis data. LIMS is just a relative concept. In terms of space, the application of LIMS from the same manufacturer varies greatly in different laboratories; In terms of time, LIMS used by the same manufacturer or laboratory will also evolve over time. 10 or 20 years ago, LIMS was very simple, and in a few years, today's LIMS will also appear outdated. Therefore, LIMS will change, but what remains unchanged is that LIMS is a laboratory management tool. In some manufacturers or users, only their products are authentic LIMS, while others are counterfeit and inferior. We cannot be confined to the concept of LIMS itself, the key is whether we can solve management problems. It can achieve laboratory information management, which is LIMS, even if it is simple, it is a simplified version of LIMS; Even if it fully meets the definition of LIMS, it cannot solve the management problems of the laboratory, and such LIMS is meaningless.
