Synesis LIMS Services Synesis provides the critical capability of guiding you through a LIMS selection and implementation. We are vendor-neutral and provide an unbiased sturctured approach to achieving a highly improved, secure laboratory and quality management solution. Our services include: Planning and Requirement Definition Software/Vendor Selection Project Management and Implementation Systems Integration with ERP, MES, QMS, and equipment LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) LIMS are critical to ensuring quality management for businesses. Quality management is needed to meet and exceed your customer expectations.   Selecting, implementing, and integrating LIMS requires a unique blend of business, quality, laboratory systems, and systems integration expertise.  Synesis provides leadership in this area.  We are software-vendor-independent and can help you make an objective decision that will be best from your business.  We can then guide you through the steps that enable the LIMS implementation to be smooth and successful. LIMS address a number of needs in laboratory environments including:   Elimination of paper records Electronic records offer many benefits, such as the ability to link data together, search, retrieve and report rapidly and backup and disseminate data easily over the company or the world.   Automatic data collection The LIMS may be interfaced directly to the laboratory instruments, offering rapid data collection, while eliminating the risk of transcription errors.   Management of laboratory data and personnel The LIMS is a centralized and structured, repository for laboratory data. This enables effective scheduling and tracking of laboratory resources and personnel.   Taken together, these can result in increased throughput, improved data management, improved data accuracy/consistency and improved resource management, with attendant benefits (faster turnaround, improved data presentation and availability) to clients of the lab (whether they be paying clients or another part of the organization). Specific areas are:   Items Origin (who sent it in? When?) Tests (which are needed?  when are results wanted?) Tracking (where is it now?  what is its status? ) Calibration history Uncertainties (how are they recorded?) Measurements Who performed the tests?  On which instruments?  Who entered the data? Are the results within appropriate limits? How was the uncertainty budget estimated? What are the significant contributions? How are the error distributions estimated? How is all this information input into and processed within LIMS? Instruments Where are they in the laboratory? When were they last calibrated?  By whom?  When are they next due  for calibration or servicing? How are the results and their associated uncertainties transferred to the LIMS? Personnel Who has access to the LIMS? What is their role and how are their activities tracked? Qualification/training status?  General What is produced by the laboratory?  How much does it cost?  How much is in stock? What hazards are in the laboratory?  Where are they?  How are they stored?  How long have they been there?
