MD Anderson Cancer Center Microarray Core Facility
EE-LIMS eliminates work associated with paper-based systems, allows researchers more time to do research.
"Our goal is to improve the timeliness and accuracy of both technical and administrative data in the lab. Achieving these goals is a challenge because any solution to this problem must integrate many different scientific and administrative computer applications and must do so at an affordable cost."

Challenge: The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center still operates on a paper-based workflow within their Microarray Core Facility.
Stone Bond’s Solution: EE–LIMS to upgrade the existing processes to a fully automated Laboratory Request Management 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: The Microarray Core Facility’s goal is to improve the management of their lab procedures and the administrative processes that come with them. This includes improved data accuracy, a decrease in administrative work and a smoother running laboratory. Ultimately EE-LIMS should take the focus off administrative tasks and allow support staff to focus on research and labs. Automating administrative tasks also ensures a smooth running, seamless system with fewer errors.
