Thermo implements LIMS solution for Eastman Chemical Company

By R&D Editors | May 9, 2011

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. announced that Eastman
Chemical Company has expanded its deployment of Thermo Scientific SampleManager
LIMS (laboratory information management system), which it has used since 2000
in its manufacturing quality control laboratories, to its Corporate Technology Analytical
Laboratories. For the implementation, Eastman Chemical Company also chose
Thermo Scientific Connects, which enables the LIMS to be fully integrated with
the laboratory’s instruments and can be integrated with other proprietary
databases and ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems enterprise-wide.

Eastman Chemical Company selected Thermo Scientific
SampleManager LIMS for its ability to operate a certified interface with SAP,
and the system has integrated seamlessly with it since implementation. Based on
the successful deployment of SampleManager LIMS at its quality control
laboratories across 13 sites in eight countries, Eastman Chemical extended the
LIMS implementation to its Corporate Technology Analytical Laboratories,
located at its Tennessee
headquarters.

“The Technology division selected Thermo Scientific
SampleManager because it was easy to use and could be easily configured and
managed in-house at Eastman Chemical,” said James Watson, systems analyst at
Eastman Chemical Company. “We have reduced costs by eliminating paper reports,
working electronically, and involving sample submitters in the process by
giving them access to results in real-time. LIMS standardization is the
solution required in today’s high throughput analytical laboratories.”

To achieve optimal quality control, Eastman Chemical needed a
coherent strategy that would integrate data between the LIMS, ERP multiple
instruments, and ELNs (electronic laboratory notebooks) across the enterprise. “The
overall integration of our connected informatics solutions provides a seamless
and secure quality control environment at Eastman Chemical Company,” added
James Watson.
