This document discusses key considerations for implementing a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). It begins by explaining how LIMS can help manage larger volumes of data and samples compared to tools like Excel. The document then outlines common stages of LIMS implementation from basic databases to more advanced custom systems. Key functionality that LIMS can provide is explored, such as sample tracking, integration with other systems, and security management. Important factors for a successful LIMS implementation are also summarized, such as defining business needs, customization costs, and user training.
