LIMS Selection - A New Free LIMS Selection Guide

How and how not to buy a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)

Autoscribe is offering a new free LIMS selection guide which is based on over 60 years of practical management experience, specifying and delivering, successful LIMS solutions to any laboratory in any industry. The free LIMS Selection Guide aims to help anyone considering purchasing a new Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). It is intended to give some hard inside and honest information that will help keep you on track, avoid some of the pitfalls and get your company the system that it needs. The guide is aimed at those looking for a system to handle sample tracking for a small laboratory through to a full function LIMS for an enterprise / global operation. You might need a system for many or just a few concurrent users.

When to use this guide

You should use this guide from the day from which you start thinking of a new system, up to and even beyond the time of placing the order for a new system. This might be a few months or a few years. If your company already has a system which does all you want, you can stop reading. If you are unfortunate enough to have bought a system that isn't quite right, it might show where things went wrong (remember that more than 50% of LIMS implementations are said to fail!)
