One-day seminar on:
Managing a laboratory requires the coordination of a large number of activities and is associated with a high level of responsibility. In times of digitalization, the efficient support of laboratory processes is becoming increasingly important. The selection, introduction and operation of the central laboratory information management system (LIMS) are of crucial importance here.
This course will not only provide you with a general overview of modern laboratory informatics with a focus on LIM systems, but will also address regulatory requirements, the procedure for selecting LIMS and provide tips for an optimal LIMS implementation.
