Workflow Configurable LIMS Enables Paperless Operations Management to Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Laboratory professionals in a variety of industries — including pharmaceutical QA/QC, oil and gas, food production, process industries and contract laboratories — can improve laboratory process mapping, management and automation with new Thermo Scientific SampleManager 11 tools and user-interface enhancements.

The newest, most configurable version of one of the world’s most widely deployed laboratory information management systems, SampleManager 11 empowers users by giving control to personnel at the point of decision, enabling them to:

• connect quality and product data from the lab to enterprise systems such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), achieving a paperless operations management infrastructure

• build workflows to reflect individual laboratory processes without an IT specialist

• automate the logical decisions driving laboratory activities, improving throughput by saving time and simplifying user interactions

• configure and deploy more easily for a lower cost of ownership

• comply with international standards such as ISO17025

“To enable today’s laboratories to be more flexible, efficient and compliant, software must empower users to create a paperless operations management framework across the connected enterprise,” said Kim Shah, Director of Marketing and New Business Development, Informatics, for Thermo Fisher Scientific. “Processing lab data comes with an associated cost, but it also has significant value to the organisation. SampleManager 11 integrates lab and production data and makes them available, accurately and rapidly, to ensure a maximum return on investment. Today’s most advanced labs aren’t only paperless, they are powerful drivers for business performance transformation.”

SampleManager 11 delivers workflow configurability, user-intuitive multiple sample login, point-and-click extensibility and enhanced data mining and tracking capabilities to benefit a wide range of industries. In each of these sectors, productivity and compliance must be in constant balance, even as requirements shift. Enhanced traceability features in SampleManager 11, including the ability to track aliquots and composites, enable finer control over samples and more reliable data for decision-making and compliance.
