LIMS, ELN Wed, 12 Jun 2013 00:00:00 EST http://www.labmanager.com//?articles.view/articleNo/35845/article/LIMS---Mobile-Techs-Gaining-Ground http://www.labmanager.com//?articles.view/articleNo/35845/article/LIMS---Mobile-Techs-Gaining-Ground Mobile technology is finally picking up steam in laboratory information markets, says Colin Thurston, director of product strategy, process industries, at Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA). “We’ve observed the trend, throughout informatics, to support different platforms, particularly in the LIMS space.” The sweet spots for mobile access are sample collections occurring outside the lab, for example, taking health and safety samples throughout a pharmaceutical facility, in collecting environmental samples in the field, or when testing labs become too cramped to house stand-alone data systems and hardware. On one hand developers of mobile applications strive to be platform-agnostic, but many are now developing dedicated “apps” as well.
