Stone Bond’s MicroLIMS, a SaaS (Software as a Service) Solution, automates your microarray core laboratory workflow, invoicing, data and sample tracking, collections, and other business processes. Slash your administrative time and costs and get back to research with a secure hosted solution.
Efficient microarray laboratory operations depend on quick, easy access to secure data, and the ability to share critical research results confidentially among specified individuals and organizations for more accurate, auditable reporting. Research labs face enormous challenges and costs associated with tracking the large number of specimens and activities, managing increased workload and compliance, and ensuring data quality and consistency. Stone bond has the solution for your lab to overcome these challenges with a more cost-effective alternative than traditional packaged applications.
Stone Bond Technologies’ MicroLIMS is a comprehensive data management and business process automation solution designed for the needs of today’s microarray core laboratories. It’s a subscription-based solution that automates entire workflows as well as streamlines laboratory administration.
MicroLIMS can be utilized in hours, resulting in increased reliability of data and improved operations for microarray cores. Its tight security ensures that confidential and valuable data will be viewed and used only by appropriate individuals. Researchers can efficiently and accurately track samples and resources at every stage of research, from initiation to the final output stage, providing clear audit trails.
Stone Bond’s MicroLIMS includes “best practices” workflow templates for the security, billing and data requirements of your core facility. MicroLIMS’ flexible data management system adapts quickly to changing business needs. MicroLIMS will lower operating costs, eliminate errors, save time, streamline processes, capture greater revenue potential and drive faster decision-making, delivering immediate benefits.
Predefined workflows
Stone Bond has drawn in its extensive experience working with microarray core laboratories in order to compile workflow tools for some of the most common services that these cores offer. Laboratory staff will be able to track each step during the course of the work request as well as upload important data files at the appropriate point in each workflow, allowing any time, anywhere access to critical data through a secure environment. In addition to all of the benefits associated with a service based software solution, utilizing MicroLIMS at your facility will allow your staff to track workflows associated with each of the following work request types:
- Sample Quality Control
- Gene Expression
- Quantitative PCR
- SNP Genotyping
- Data Analysis
- Specialized
Features
- Streamline Operations : By automating all processes, MicroLIMS creates a single integrated system that handles requests for services, administrative tasks, audit reports, grant submittals, and billing functions, all in a secure environment.
- Increase Data Reliability, Secure User Access : Research data is shared across lab functions, eliminating the need for multiple entries and potential errors. A multi-level security system identifies authority levels of defined users, such as PIs, lab managers, administrators and lab technicians who are involved in workflow and have authorization to access data.
- Automated Billing : Proven to improve cash flow by automating and speeding the billing process, while eliminating cumbersome, error-prone paper-based tasks.
- Facilitates Sample History Traceability : MicroLIMS can track the entire history of each sample, from acquisition to final output, providing an auditable trail between studies or projects, or between laboratories.
- Workload Balancing : MicroLIMS process management enables the balance of workloads across technicians, increasing productivity and eliminating workflow bottlenecks.
- Secure Internet Access : Researchers will have secure instant access via a web browser to check the status of their request.
- Materials Tracking : Optional inventory management automates tracking of materials usage and services per-customer, improving billing accuracy and preventing loss of revenue.
