Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) are valuable tools in the forensics laboratory, streamlining the documentation and management of evidence including sample accession, extraction, quantification, amplification and analysis. LIMS solutions can provide out-of-the-box functionality that can be configured to meet the needs of the laboratory, aiding in data input, sample documentation and quality control. When samples and results are managed within a LIMS, the forensics laboratory can achieve better productivity, accuracy and compliance.
