‍

• Role of Laboratory and QA Professionals: Laboratory professionals are the last line of defense in ensuring food safety and quality. They play the important role of collecting, preparing and testing food samples.

• ‍Challenges for Laboratory and QA Professionals: The enormous amount of data collected increases the stress placed on quality control procedures within a lab. Inefficient or inaccurate lab workflows also add stress.‍

• Adjusting to Regulatory Changes or Public Safety Concerns: A LIMS contains integrated workflow management tools. Workflows produce compliant electronic records at each of the laboratory workflow steps and links related information to produce a traceability matrix surrounding results.‍

• Addressing Risks: A LIMS features built-in alerting, which allows immediate notification of sample anomalies, via email or text messages. This allows Lab and QA Professionals to respond quickly and avoid a potential recall situation.‍

• LIMS Benefits: Implementing a LIMS increases sample throughput without affecting the quality of the testing. A LIMS improves efficiency and resource utilization. Integrating tools with your LIMS such as bar coding and instrumentation improves tracking and accuracy.
