Lab-i Cleans Up Laboratory Paperwork 
During the economic slowdown keeping your finger on the pulse of the latest technological developments can save your business a lot of money. Like any other business, laboratories are keeping abreast by replacing traditional paper trials with laboratory information management systems (LIMS). Read more...
QBCon's Lab-i Joins The Social Network
QBCon took another fresh approach for its product Lab-i by creating this customised Laboratory Information Management System’s (LIMS) very own Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and blogspot page.
QLims can easily be followed when doing a search in the “find people” when logged on the Twitter website. We created this profile so we can learn from our customers and in return provide answers for the many question regarding LIMS.
The Qlab-i blog is created to speak to you as a solution seeker and as a friend. We believe that over time this blog will become a relevant and honest resource for the latest LIMS news.
With QBCon LIMS in LinkedIn we believe we will open the doors for the laboratory community on a more professional level. This network will offer access to the knowledge QBCon has obtained over the years. This knowledge will be shared with other professionals in the industry.
QBCon has a need to communicate and connect with other corporate entities and individuals and created a Facebook QBCon page for itself. With this page we will communicate openly, honestly and often. We believe that our company profile on Facebook will become the information hub on business solutions.
Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) are still underrated by many laboratories. QBCon created a LIMS blog to bring across how pivotal a good lab system is to the successful running of a laboratory. We will also aim to answer all your queries relating to laboratory management software. To view the LIMS Blog click here . |
Did You Know? The community is becoming more conscious of the chemical analysis of a product,. Laboratory employees and managers need to take this into consideration in order to be "one step ahead" and informed of specific needs. Synergy in a laboratory can only be accomplished if all departments are continually trained and a part of the information management system. A good LIMS will manage and view each area to measure profitability and effectiveness. Problem and profit areas can then be identified and managed for output optimisation. |
Archive - Lab-i: Your Laboratory Assistant Today’s scientists are constantly seeking for ways to keep track of everything, from experimental details and results to data graphs. What scientists really need is a personal assistant, someone who can document everything that was done in the lab – how was what done and when? Visualise yourself walking up to this assistant, which you know is available every minute of the day, and asking for every detail of information on an experiment you did the week before.
