Two-day seminar on:
Laboratory information management systems form the digital backbone of a modern laboratory. Nowadays, laboratories generate such large amounts of data that responsible and professional handling of this data is a prerequisite for a successful laboratory. LIMS helps to record and process this data and make it usable in the way that is best for your laboratory.
The introduction of a new LIMS - whether for the first time or to replace an obsolete or outdated system - is a major challenge for everyone involved. It is therefore absolutely essential to involve all those involved as early as possible and to develop a systematic approach together. In particular, the interaction between people with IT expertise and people with laboratory expertise should function smoothly.
In this seminar, we will show you which other points need to be considered so that nothing stands in the way of a successful LIMS implementation at your company.
