This free LIMS Selection Guide aims to help anyone considering the purchase of a new or replacement Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).  It is intended to give some hard "inside" information that will help keep you on track, avoid some of the pitfalls and get your company the system that it needs.

Target audience

This guide is aimed at those looking for a system to handle anything from simple sample tracking applications for a small laboratory through to a full function LIMS for a global operation. It will be particularly useful for decision makers, project managers, laboratory managers and IT personnel.

When to use this guide

Use this guide from the day on which you start thinking of a new system, up to and even beyond the time of placing the order for a new system.  This might be a few months or a few years.  If your company already has a system which does all you want the document may still be of interest as it will provide information on the latest technology and features available today.  If you have bought a system that is less than successful, it might help to identify where things went wrong.

Outline

This document covers three main phases of a project.
