 There are numerous analytical laboratories, either within manufacturing organisations, or independent, that perform testing on a range of materials, including raw materials, active substances, packaging components, in-process samples, intermediates, products and stability samples. These laboratories often must operate to defined regulatory standards issued by agencies such as the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).Information management is a critical task for these laboratories and laboratory productivity, accuracy and control are usually greatly increased with improved information processing capabilities. A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is the industry standard application used to manage quality data and manage the quality assurance laboratory function. The use of a LIMS facilitates the organisation and standardisation of routine operations within the laboratory. In addition a LIMS offers the potential to automate routine laboratory tasks such as printing labels, checking results, performing calculations, producing reports, and generating certificates of analysis. A well designed and implemented LIMS can facilitate: • More cost effective laboratory operations through improved laboratory resource utilisation. • Higher throughput laboratory operations through process efficiencies. • Improved compliance through reduction of errors and automated validation of data. LabHQ Limited was innovated by the management team of Broughton Laboratories Limited, a small independent analytical laboratory, in order to develop and commercially market a suitable LIMS. It was decided that existing commercial LIMS were either too complex, unsuitable for regulated products or not financially justifiable for small laboratories. |
