Core Informatics has delivered a laboratory information management system (Lims) appliance to Virginia Commonwealth University's (VCU) Department of Pharmacy
Scientists at VCU will utilise the system to manage their nucleic acid and tissue sample inventory as well as their associated experimental results.
The Core Lims Appliance is described as an extremely powerful web-based laboratory information management system.
The product is primarily intended for small academic or startup labs working on a tight budget.
The system is designed to be a turnkey solution: power it up and it runs.
"This is a huge benefit for small labs that have little or no IT support staff," said James Gregory, chief software architect of Core Informatics.
"It's a simple yet powerful solution with all the flexibility and key features we've built into our full-scale enterprise Lims system".
Any of the components of Core Informatics's customised Lims systems can be incorporated into the Core Lims appliance.
Customers have the option to select only the components required to meet their research needs.
Core Informatics custom builds each Core Lims appliance to match its client's requirements and delivers it to their facility so their data management can begin the day the appliance arrives.
As their clients needs evolve, Core Informatics can easily upgrade their clients to either a hosted or enterprise Lims system.
