By Susana Martín Castaño    /    General    /    Posted 05/08/2025

LIMS systems automate and manage tasks such as: registering and tracking samples, organising work, assigning tests, recording results, connecting to analysers or measuring devices, managing inventory, maintaining equipment and reporting results.

The main purpose of a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is to improve laboratory efficiency, guarantee data accuracy and traceability, and ensure compliance with any specific regulations and quality standards of each sector. LIMS can be adapted for use in various types of laboratory, including clinical analysis, veterinary, research, public health, water and food laboratories, and other scientific and technical testing environments.
