Case study on the selection and implementation of Lims to support a functional genomics project at the Department of Genetics of the University of Cambridge
Thermo LabSystems announces the availability of a new full-color printed case study on the selection and implementation of its Nautilus Lims (laboratory information management system) to support a functional genomics project at the Department of Genetics of the University of Cambridge.
The case study focuses on recent enhancements to Nautilus to meet the demands of high throughput experimentation and screening.
This free-of-charge case study comprehensively describes the project over four pages, including: Historical background to the project as part of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council's (BBSRC) Investigating Gene Function Initiative.
Development of a core genomics and proteomics resource facility for the UK fly biology research community.
Detail on key requirements for a Lims and decision criteria, including: Software user-friendliness and configurability.
Ability to handle huge volumes of complex data, including sample tracking, auditing and inventory.
Specific functionality for plate handling to support the work of a micro-array expression facility.
Integration with instrumentation for PCR and sequencing, including the use of the Nautilus Integration Editor for parsing data files from multiple sources. Implementation and go-live.
Future plans.
The functional genomics project's requirement was for a solution to provide a secure means of controlling the pipeline of genomic data as well as tracking samples, in order to support leading biological research groups as a trusted resource center.
Thermo LabSystems claims Nautilus offers the bioresearch community new levels of user empowerment, sample traceability and instrument integration.
The system supports compliance with FDA Ruling 21 CFR Part 11 on electronic signatures and records.
The Cambridge University case study is available free of charge worldwide for customers and users from all industries looking at their future laboratory informatics requirements.
