LIMS Supports SOLiD Core Lab at Queensland Center for Medical Genomics

The Queensland Center for Medical Genomics (QCMG) routinely cranks out 90 Gbs every two weeks on each of its 11 SOLiD 4 Genomics Sequencers.

Learn how QCMG is using the GenoLogics LIMS to take control of previously unstructured data, enabling them to streamline workflows, reduce pipeline stalling errors, and measure overall lab progress and efficiency.

Four Months to Full NGS Output - How the University of Washington Scaled up with a LIMS

The University of Washington could not afford to spend months getting its informatics infrastructure up and running. It needed to scale, quickly, to meet the demands of a new grant. Instead of building its own system to trace samples and streamline aspects of its new NGS workflow, the Northwest Genomics Center invested in a commercial laboratory information management system (LIMS) specifically designed for NGS.

Five Ways a LIMS Accelerates Next-Generation Sequencing Research

This paper will review ways that a robust lab information management system accelerates modern genomics and next generation sequencing. In particular, it will focus on the business reasons that make a well-built, commercial lab information management software system designed specifically for sequencing a smarter investment than building a system from scratch.
