Laboratories in the anatomical pathology industry track data from organs, tissues, and cells acquired through a variety of methods in order to create new bases for disease diagnosis. The throughput of gross, microscopic, and molecular examination of tissues can be significantly increased with the Core LIMS. By leveraging the system to automate testing and data collection, labs can gather a greater amount of data and analyze it more efficiently. The Core LIMS also protects the integrity of visual examination data by ensuring that samples are labled accurately, stored under proper conditions, and associated with the correct patient, study, etc.
The Core LIMS helps anatomical pathology labs to adjust to changing regulatory standards, and adopt new processes easily with its extensive configurability. The Core LIMS is flexible, allowing any type of attribute to be associated with any object. This allows images and graphs to be associated with samples, creating a more unified and easily navigable data repository for pathology labs. The system includes quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) functionality such as curve-fitting, and end-user driven data validation for the exclusion and tagging of outlier data.
