For 2010, Thermo Scientific is announcing a significant innovation in its suite of laboratory information management systems (LIMS) software. The new Web-based Thermo Scientific LIMS-on-Demand offers flexibility and ease-of-use, helping organizations replace inefficient, error-prone manual processes with an automated data management solution. Customers can create workflows, map sample lifecycles and generate automatic updates from any standard Internet connection while providing users with rapid access to up-to-the-minute data and information.

According to Vance Lemmon, PhD, University of Miami, the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, “Our research requires attention to detail, documenting what we do, and using our funds and resources as effectively as possible. The ability to use a fully functional LIMS-on-demand through a secure Internet portal from any of our computers relieves our team of the burden of maintaining the LIMS and makes access to the LIMS much easier. As a result, we will be able to focus on our mission of discovering genes and drugs that can help promote regeneration.”

LIMS-on-Demand access provides a more flexible alternative to conventional LIMS so organizations can more easily and cost-effectively realize the benefits of improved technology at a pace that is consistent with their needs. For the cost of a monthly subscription fee, a laboratory can easily, affordably and securely access a fully functional, validated solution through a standard Web browser.
