PROGRAM'S BACKGROUND

Application of modern technology techniques inside laboratory is, know, one of the most important modern ways of progress. Facilitating everything inside laboratory starting from samples receiving and handling, completing the analysis procedures, reporting the final analysis results, retrieving the old stored data results, auditing inventory of materials, etc., is now can be handled easily by application and implementation of some kinds of software named as " Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)".

Using and implementation of such systems can easily facilitate and control all procedures inside laboratory starting from sampling plan, till final analysis reporting. Also, authorization of data available inside laboratory can be easily controlled through access control for every person inside laboratory. Many other features can be useful from this type of software but to be familiar with it you must now more about laboratory, organization, administration, good laboratory practice, total quality management, safety inside laboratory, detecting and measuring traceability and uncertainty of measurements.
