What Is a LIMS? Strengthening Traceability, Compliance, and Data Integrity in the Modern Laboratory

Laboratories generate critical data that directly impacts product quality, regulatory compliance, and customer trust. Yet many labs still rely on spreadsheets, paper records, and manual processes to manage samples and results. This session introduces the fundamentals of a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and explains how it supports traceability, audit readiness, data integrity, and operational efficiency. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of how LIMS integrates with quality systems such as ISO 9001 and ISO 17025, reduces risk, and strengthens overall process control.
