Laboratory Information Management

GraphLogic creates comprehensive custom enterprise LIMS systems for any life science process. Our systems are used to manage the full range of laboratory operations, such as microarrays, proteomics, sequencing, and genotyping. Our browser-based systems manage sample and metadata tracking, data generation, storage and retrieval, laboratory instrumentation, reagent usage and inventory, user activity, costs, and billing. GraphLogic systems are barcode enabled, able to handle splits and merges via 96- and 384-well plates, and provide email notification. A multi-level security system allows laboratory personnel and customers to carry out their individual tasks as needed, such as checking on project and sample status, downloading and uploading data files, and even performing data analysis within the browser (see custom applications below). PointDragon™ offers an extensive range of features, providing complete management capability for specific scientific processes as well as all the additional functions critical to efficient laboratory management. Some key features of our life science LIMS products are summarized here.

Regulatory Compliance

GraphLogic systems facilitate laboratory compliance with GLP and 21 CFR Part 11 regulations.

All systems generate a secure, time-stamped audit trail for every change made within the system. Audit trails include the user who initiated the change, additionally, changes are searchable by timestamp and timestamp ranges. GraphLogic LIMS also possess fully integrated, enterprise-wide, document management capabilities. Protocols, SOPs, training materials, certifications, and investigation reports are all accessible via the LIMS. GraphLogic LIMS systems also generate accurate and complete copies of records in both human readable and electronic form.

User access is strictly controlled; security settings allow a designated system administrator to easily create and assign user roles. System access can be set for individual users, and for specific groups. GraphLogic LIMS fully support electronic signatures; visible on all human-readable copies of the electronic record. With GraphLogic LIMS, falsifying or expunging electronic signatures is rendered impossible by ordinary means. Laboratory maintenance can be scheduled, tracked, and production requests disabled, until the appropriate tasks are completed. Laboratory operators then receive the appropriate notifications regarding instrument readiness. Similarly, GraphLogic systems track all reagent supply, use, and storage availability for sample handling and assay procedures.

Web-based Customer Interface

GraphLogic's LIMS is a web-based system that provides secure sample/order submission, email notification, and data retrieval workflows to streamline the interface between the customer and lab operations. The web-based communication vehicle improves the customer experience by reducing the need for paperwork, phone calls, and other labor intensive methods of communicating results. This management module integrates with every sample-based scientific workflow.

Service Center LIMS

A complete enterprise solution for all your service center informatics needs

GraphLogic provides web-based applications for leading customer driven scientific businesses and research institutes. Our goal is to make scientific operations more productive and life sciences businesses more competitive.

We recognize that service providers are as unique as their science and have created a suite of solutions to meet diverse business requirements. Service Centers can choose to install one or many systems from our application library of scientific workflows and management modules. All of our applications integrate, to provide a complete enterprise solution for service center operations.

Customers using our Service Center LIMS:

  • Improve their customer's experience through web-based order submission and data retrieval while reducing total cost of service.
  • Increase throughput capability and decrease paperwork and lab chaos through integrated scientific workflow and business management modules.
  • Expand and modify their systems through the flexibility of modular installation from our application library and the customization ease of 100% visual; point/click-drag/drop development technology.

Service Centers can also choose to customize their system or build a new module from scratch. If you don't see what you need in the application library, let us know and we'll build it for you!

Our Service Center LIMS and custom applications are built by scientists, for scientists.
