Core Facility
Customer created a centralized database for administrators
using EE-LIMS to bring together information from multiple
systems, resulting in simplified procedures better service
and lowered demands on support staff.
"Our goal was to automate the
lab with no disruptions to our business activities. We
started to realize the value of our investment immediately.
It streamlined and improved our processes, elevating the
accuracy level of data flow, and simplifying grant applications
with the immediate availability of data. We actually have
less people working at the lab now, and the new system
lets us do more with less people."

Challenge: The Microarray Core Facility (MCF) is a shared
facility at Baylor College of Medicine which performs experiment
services for a variety of researchers. The facility was operating
on a paper tracking system and needed to upgrade to a laboratory
information management system (LIMS). The University was considering
building their own LIMS, but they decided that alternative
would be much more expensive than purchasing EE-LIMS.
Stone Bond’s Solution: EE-LIMS, which automates
and streamlines laboratory processes. EE-LIMS is a software
solution that Stone Bond configures to meet the specific workflow
and data capture for any laboratory. EE-LIMS rapidly improves
analysis across all core services while eliminating costs
normally associated with traditional paper processes. This
intelligent integration solutions specifically designed for
Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) can enable
researchers to better manage the massive amounts of critical
data throughout laboratories and eliminate administrative
burdens that can slow discovery. EE–LIMS gives researchers
the ability to easily query, analyze and manage meaningful
information from the initial submittal all the way through
to
Benefits: EE-LIMS created a centralized database for
MCF administrators to work from, simplifying all procedures
within their lab. The solution tracks the entire process of
the lab using bar code IDs. The result is better service for
researchers while lowering the demands on the MCF support
staff. EE-LIMS tracks everything from the initial lab request,
to which shelf a sample is on in the freezer and even completes
billing procedures. MCF experienced better service delivery
to researchers and fewer administrative tasks for Core staff.
