Abstract:
Today’s LIMS provide laboratories with functionality that extends well beyond sample testing and tracking. A modern LIMS should be the backbone of the laboratory’s QMS, offering support for regulatory compliance.
A strong QMS starts with the ability to store and secure data that has been produced and validated with proper COC, QA/QC, traceability and a complete audit trail. The typical LIMS will provide this functionality, but an ideal QMS should also address at a minimum: The major requirements found in ISO 17025, including: Structural Requirements, Resource Requirements, Process Requirements and Management System Requirements.
This presentation will show how a LIMS can be used as the backbone of a lab’s QMS system, specifically looking at ISO 17025:2017.
