Thermo Fisher Scientific supports laboratory research with supplies and equipment but also software; the Thermo Fisher SampleManager LIMS is a widely used laboratory information management system dedicated to data and resource management, as well as automation and operational support.
NucleoLIS has the flexibility to build workflows for any type of clinical test. I experienced all of the positives that Psyche systems and NucleoLIS had to offer when I was tasked with building a workflow for COVID-19 testing. We were able to establish a LIMS workflow for COVID-19 testing in a matter of weeks in order to ramp up our testing to serve our community when we were one of the only testing sites available.
The program is well suited for those companies that have numerous experiments being conducted at the same time, because it allows our professors to walk around or use their own computer and see how the experiments are being conducted. This is the most useful part of the program.
LIMS can be an extremely slow system if not updated to the most current version, which can also cause the system to crash in the midst of recording/testing.
Disables certain features to be accessible depending on user status.
Does not always adhere to set protocols or standards made for specific data input.
I have used multiple LIMS systems in my career and have also developed internal systems for specific testing. NucleoLIS provides a great balance of developing a personalized system in a well-established and functional existing framework to build out each individual lab's workflows. This can be done without the need to have an entire IT department which I could not say for the previous systems I used.
Thermo Fisher Scientific LIMS is fantastic in that it has a wide range to store and change data regarding instrumentation, reagents, equipment, materials, and testing layouts. Information can be backed up for quite some time, which is great in the instance that data needs to be pulled immediately, regardless when it was last accessed. It also enables testing to follow a better flow through following the way in which the set up is displayed within the LIMS system.
Decreased the number or employees needed within certain departments due to effectiveness and efficiency.
Although mostly beneficial, there were times in which the system caused the company to lose out on money by wasting time to wait for the system to reboot or entire loss of data.
Enabled data to be seen and sent to various departments faster than paperwork.
