Metabolomics labs can benefit from the increased efficiency, data integrity and security, communication, and collaboration provided by the Core LIMS. The system assists users performing metabolomics profiling studies in analyzing large amounts of multivariate chromatography and spectrometry data to determine significant patterns. This can lead to the discovery of methods of earlier and more accurate diagnoses of disease, and the creation of more effective treatments.
Each data point collected by the Core LIMS is associated with the instrument and operator it was generated from, as well as any protocol(s) it is related to. This provides traceability for audits as well as allowing analysts to find where an irregularity or sample contamination occurred.
The LIMS supports in-vitro and in-vivo studies, and can track data for compounds, metabolites, or any other object a lab gathers data on. It facilitates data comparison across lots, studies, workflows, projects, etc. The Core system directly interfaces with instruments used in chromatography, electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
