Research
The SCC Soft Computer laboratory information management system (LIMS) enables seamless collaboration for research organizations by improving data sharing between teams. Our research LIMS solution also supports high-volume, specimen-based testing.
How Our Platform Helps Research Organizations
Efficient Data Management
Our laboratory information management system (LIMS) helps researchers organize and manage large volumes of experimental data, including samples, experimental protocols, and results. It also ensures the laboratory maintains uniform, consistent data collection procedures, which is crucial for maintaining accuracy in research. Data security is an increasingly important aspect of research, which is a core feature of SCC’s LIMS. This feature also allows researchers to comply with legal requirements and institutional policies for the handling of data.
Workflow Automation and Optimization
SCC’s research lab LIMS automates repetitive tasks like data entry, result reporting, and sample tracking, which reduce manual errors and provides researchers with more time for other activities. It also tracks experimental tasks, such as sample collection and data analysis, ensuring research has transparency and accountability. Automated sample tracking is another key feature of our LIMS, including experimental details, location, and usage history to help researchers maintain the traceability of their samples and minimize sample loss.
Enhanced Collaboration and Communication
Collaboration and seamless data sharing are key requirements in scientific research, as colleagues are often located in different facilities. SCC’s LIMS integrates with other platforms, facilitating real-time communication and data exchanges. In addition, SCC solutions integrate with instruments, allowing researchers to obtain patient data in real time.
SCC Soft Computer's team of 2,000 employees has been providing laboratories inside and outside of hospitals leading software solutions for more than 40 years.
