Thermo Fisher Scientific supports laboratory research with supplies and equipment but also software; the Thermo Fisher SampleManager LIMS is a widely used laboratory information management system dedicated to data and resource management, as well as automation and operational support.
- Patient portal allows us to send results directly to the patient, which is a must-have for laboratories going forward. - Support is very responsive and helpful. You will always hear back from them in a timely fashion, often with a solution in hand. - Very configurable. The system is well-designed, and most changes that need to be made can be done by the end-user. - Product lifecycle is quick. We can request a complex feature update and have it be turned around in a matter of weeks.
The program is well suited for those companies that have numerous experiments being conducted at the same time, because it allows our professors to walk around or use their own computer and see how the experiments are being conducted. This is the most useful part of the program.
LIMS can be an extremely slow system if not updated to the most current version, which can also cause the system to crash in the midst of recording/testing.
Disables certain features to be accessible depending on user status.
Does not always adhere to set protocols or standards made for specific data input.
Not really a fair comparison, as one is an extremely old, modules-based system that is installed onsite, whereas the other is a modern, cloud-based solution that provides the entire gamut of functionalities in-house. The support structure is also different in that the support for portals is separated out from the main support for the software. That was not a great experience
Thermo Fisher Scientific LIMS is fantastic in that it has a wide range to store and change data regarding instrumentation, reagents, equipment, materials, and testing layouts. Information can be backed up for quite some time, which is great in the instance that data needs to be pulled immediately, regardless when it was last accessed. It also enables testing to follow a better flow through following the way in which the set up is displayed within the LIMS system.
Decreased the number or employees needed within certain departments due to effectiveness and efficiency.
Although mostly beneficial, there were times in which the system caused the company to lose out on money by wasting time to wait for the system to reboot or entire loss of data.
Enabled data to be seen and sent to various departments faster than paperwork.
