Our missions
The aim of IT in laboratories
Computers and professional software are increasingly being used in laboratories. Whether we are talking about the pharmaceutical industry, metallurgy or petrochemicals, all these fields require ever greater attention to detail, guided by the implementation of good manufacturing or laboratory practices.
The role of laboratory informatics is to assist professionals in the implementation and enforcement of standards in order to bring satisfaction to the organizations governing the quality as well as the customers of these products and services.
How does IT work in the laboratory?
Today there is a multitude of available laboratory software. They fall into several categories, including the following:
This software allows laboratories to retrieve data of interest to them directly from their acquisition equipment. Input errors are thus avoided.
At the same time, software such as Chromeleon™ (Thermo Fisher Scientific) can be used to automate the control of HPLC or GC devices.
The objective of this software is to manage the elements around the sample and the analysis. It allows you to list the analyses to be carried out and facilitates the traceability of your stocks of reagents, standards, product batches, etc...
SampleManager™ also allows the generation of complete reports to facilitate decision making. These LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) are the cornerstone of the modern laboratory.
LES (for Laboratory Execution System) are useful in businesses with established processes. They effectively support analysts in the implementation of procedures and operating methods in place.
This limits the biases and errors associated with routine manipulations.
Electronic Laboratory Notebook (or ELN) are more present in research and development laboratories. They allow researchers to keep a record of the procedures they have tested and the results they have obtained.
