Baylor College of Medicine Microarray Core Facility
Customer created a centralized database for administrators using EE-LIMS to bring together information from multiple systems, resulting in simplified procedures better service and lowered demands on support staff.
"Our goal was to automate the lab with no disruptions to our business activities. We started to realize the value of our investment immediately. It streamlined and improved our processes, elevating the accuracy level of data flow, and simplifying grant applications with the immediate availability of data. We actually have less people working at the lab now, and the new system lets us do more with less people."

Challenge: The Microarray Core Facility (MCF) is a shared facility at Baylor College of Medicine which performs experiment services for a variety of researchers. The facility was operating on a paper tracking system and needed to upgrade to a laboratory information management system (LIMS). The University was considering building their own LIMS, but they decided that alternative would be much more expensive than purchasing EE-LIMS.
Stone Bond’s Solution: EE-LIMS, which automates and streamlines laboratory processes. EE-LIMS is a software solution that Stone Bond configures to meet the specific workflow and data capture for any laboratory. EE-LIMS rapidly improves analysis across all core services while eliminating costs normally associated with traditional paper processes. This intelligent integration solutions specifically designed for Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) can enable researchers to better manage the massive amounts of critical data throughout laboratories and eliminate administrative burdens that can slow discovery. EE–LIMS gives researchers the ability to easily query, analyze and manage meaningful information from the initial submittal all the way through to
Benefits: EE-LIMS created a centralized database for MCF administrators to work from, simplifying all procedures within their lab. The solution tracks the entire process of the lab using bar code IDs. The result is better service for researchers while lowering the demands on the MCF support staff. EE-LIMS tracks everything from the initial lab request, to which shelf a sample is on in the freezer and even completes billing procedures. MCF experienced better service delivery to researchers and fewer administrative tasks for Core staff.
