Supporting capability · Laboratory information systems
Laboratory information should move with the sample.
A LIMS is part of the laboratory operating architecture. It connects the physical movement of samples with the information, quality controls and decisions that depend on them.
Information control from receipt to reporting
Sirius defines the information flow alongside the analytical workflow so that each stage has a clear record, responsibility and control.
- Sample registration and identification
- Sample traceability and custody
- Workflow and route control
- Analytical result capture
- QA/QC workflow integration
- Validation and approval
- Audit trail and user accountability
- Turnaround-time visibility
- Management information
- Operational and client reporting
- User roles and permissions
- Integration with laboratory operations
Operating architecture
LIMS should be designed with the laboratory, not added afterwards.
- 01Sample received
- 02Registered
- 03Prepared
- 04Analysed
- 05QA/QC reviewed
- 06Validated
- 07Reported
- 08Used for decisions
System configuration must reflect sample types, analytical routes, batching, quality controls, responsibilities, reporting rules and the operating decisions the laboratory supports.
Build and operate
Information management is part of every Sirius Build & Operate project.
The laboratory, its people and its digital controls are commissioned as one operating system. Sirius can support requirements definition, workflow design, implementation, user preparation, reporting and continuous improvement.
Technology relationship
Appropriate technology follows the operating requirement.
Sirius Analytical is authorised by Datamine Africa to represent Datamine in Zambia and neighbouring countries in matters relating to its laboratory software portfolio, including sales, implementation and professional services.
The relationship supports the information-management component of Sirius projects. It does not imply exclusivity or endorsement of all Sirius services.
