Baylor College of Medicine Tissue Culture Core Lab
EE-LIMS handles requests, sample tracking, and billing automatically increasing billing collection to almost 100%.
"We needed our Tissue Culture Core Lab services to be more efficient as they handle the requests for cells and related materials. Stone Bond’s EE-LIMS gives us a more reliable process and has resulted in almost 100 percent collection on requests between labs."

Challenge: The Tissue Culture Core Lab provides researchers access to expertise and techniques that are typically not available in individual laboratories. This in-demand lab was still operating on a paper-based system and needed to upgrade to a more manageable and accurate computer-based system.
Stone Bond’s Solution: EE-LIMS created a complete infrastructure for core laboratory operations via a web-based system. 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 discovery.
Benefits: Core investigators can now request culture storage, transmittal of cells, or delivery of materials via the Internet. With EE-LIMS, lab personnel track samples and resources efficiently and accurately at every stage, from acquisition to final output. At the same time EE-LIMS maintains clear audit trails for all requests and handles billing through Baylor’s SAP system seamlessly. Support staff spend less time tracking down samples, completing invoices and shuffling paper; automation also ensures less data entry and billing errors, creating an all around more efficient system.
