STARLIMS contribution to the laboratory management
- Analysts’ time optimization, once their tasks are done through the LIMS.
- A better control of the processes. The workflows system requires lab staff to overcome the methods by following a strict order.
- An improved quality control. Each step requires user’s login and all the tasks are registered (traceability).
- The creation of a corporate laboratory network. The same solution (LIMS) is used in different countries, in different languages.
- Streamlined management of complex laboratory processes.
- Through the use of STARLIMS Designer, Hipra’s IT department has the capacity to easily develop new functionalities specific to their business needs.
- Efficient inventory management (laboratory reagents)
Time saving and optimization of the laboratory resources by 40%
- Quality improvement (through automation of processes, etc.)
- Faster accomplishment of daily tasks (approvals, COA publication, etc.) - Flexibility for adapting new customers’ requirements
- Efficiency in each test completed
- Full traceability as well as quality standards and good laboratory practices assurance.
