EE-LIMS automates paper-based workflow, improving availability
of services and increasing lab productivity.
"We needed for
our Core Lab services to be more readily available to
all of our researchers and to make the status and information
easily accessible to anyone with proper security. With
all of our statistics available electronically, our research
monitoring, evaluations, and analyses could then be more
comprehensive, accurate and timely."

Challenge: Baylor college of Medicine’s Department
of Molecular and Cellular Biology was operating on a paper-based
system within their Core Laboratory. This inefficient system
needed to be upgraded to a web-based system without interrupting
Laboratory operations.
Stone Bond’s Solution: EE-LIMS with the added
capability of manipulating requests and data via Personal
Digital Assistants (PDA) for faster, more accurate data exchange.
Benefits: EE-LIMS replaced Baylor's paper-based system
with a complete infrastructure for a core laboratory operation.
Everything from research request submittals; to entering,
managing and analyzing data; to billing is completed via the
integrated system. Service response data and comments are
entered by researchers onto PDAs as the test procedures are
executed, so all data is captured and harvested for statistical
analysis, audit trails, and seamless billing integration into
Baylor's SAP system. Automating the billing systems has made
the entire process quicker and more efficient. Invoices are
closed at a much faster rate because researches are billed
and invoices are paid automatically. The Lab is more productive
and invoices are up to date.
