A LIMS covers the journey of a sample from its receipt into a laboratory through to the end of its life cycle, including the stages of Sample Storage, Testing, Reporting and Archiving. As a sample is introduced into a laboratory, the LIMS operation starts by accessioning the sample on to the system and assigning it with a particular identification number. As and when the samples move through the laboratory, the related information can then be updated in a LIMS to maintain the audit trail. GoMeyra’s Bar and QR coding helps facilitate control of the testing lifecycle.
