Enabling An Integrated Enterprise Laboratory Information Management System

Over the years, laboratory information management systems (LIMS) have evolved from custom-developed, in-house systems used to track data in quality labs to proprietary commercial products. More recently, LIMS have evolved into standardsbased systems. As a result, companies are beginning to think in terms of "Enterprise LIMS" that not only support the full range of functions within the laboratory, but also are integrated with systems throughout the company.
