What exactly is a LIMS?

Why can’t I use the LIS which comes with my HIMS? What is the difference between a LIMS system and a Lab Management Software? Why is it important to have a Lab Management software? These are questions that we frequently encounter while talking about NextGen’s LIMS/ Lab Management Software.

A LIMS is a Laboratory Information Management Solution. Simplified, this is a software that allows every step that you follow in your lab to be tracked and documented.

When a patient comes in, he is registered and allocated a unique identification number on the software. This allows you to pull up his details whenever you need then using this number or his mobile number or other parameters. His samples, when they are taken, are barcoded, to avoid any mix-up with another sample. The software automatically picks up the barcode. Each sample is allocated to a particular lab. Whenever a test is conducted, the materials used are automatically reduced from stock, with physical verification being conducted periodically. Reports are autogenerated and mailed/ texted to patients. MIS reports are available, which help to manage the lab. afghan Real’s LIMS systems are suitable for all types of labs, and we offer different products based on the size of the lab:

Afghan Real’s LIMS applications also allow for Equipment Integration. Our java-based LEIS engine allows us to read and write data onto lab equipment, thus allowing for a paperless laboratory.
