Thermo Fisher Scientific is to host its two-day Laboratory Informatics Symposium (LIS) on 17-18 May 2010 at the Gulf Hotel in Bahrain.
The symposium is aimed at laboratory managers across a range of industries with responsibility for quality assurance, data management and laboratory workflow.
The theme of the symposium is integrating the laboratory with enterprise systems to enable faster decision-making, ensure laboratory efficiencies and reduce costs, with a particular focus on the data management requirements of oil and gas, petrochemical, life-science and government laboratories.
Registration is free for the first day of the symposium, and a second training day is available at a fee for customers using Thermo Scientific Samplemanager and other Thermo Scientific laboratory information management systems (Lims).
Topics will include enterprise integration strategies to maximise efficiencies in the laboratory, including integration with instruments and other business systems across the organisation.
The meeting will also include a discussion of current ISO 17025 requirements and the role of the Lims in providing documentation for compliance and audit trails related to ISO 17025 and similar regulatory requirements and guidelines.
Presenters will also review return on investment (ROI) and payback studies, and a roundtable session will allow attendees to discuss Lims implementation requirements common to the industry.
