A Secure LIMS for Clinical Research & Trials - CloudLIMS

A Configurable Laboratory Software for Clinical Research Labs & CROs

An in-the-Cloud Clinical Research LIMS With Zero Upfront Cost

Streamline and Automate Clinical Research Workflows Using CloudLIMS - A SaaS, in-the-Cloud Clinical Research LIMS Software

Clinical research plays a vital role in advancing medical knowledge, disease prognosis, and improving patient care. It encompasses the investigation of new drugs, medical devices, and treatments to determine their safety and efficacy. The data generated from clinical research is critical for developing evidence-based guidelines, improving patient outcomes, and informing public health policies. However, clinical research labs face several challenges, including ensuring the safety and protecting the rights of study participants, complying with ethical guidelines, managing large amounts of data, assuring the quality of results, and recruiting and retaining participants. Clinical researchers must also ensure that their research is conducted in accordance with ICH-GCP guidelines and other relevant standards and regulations to support the validity and reliability of their findings.

Seamlessly Follow Regulatory Guidelines

Ensure Confidentiality of Patient Data

Safeguard the PHI of participants by anonymizing sensitive patient data and maintain an audit trail whenever PHI is accessed, updated, or deleted.

Manage Lab Personnel Requirements

Manage training and competency records of laboratory personnel and generate staff competency reports. This helps laboratory managers assign tasks only to the personnel with appropriate training, competency, and experience to perform them efficiently.

Laboratory Software for Clinical Research Labs

Manage Equipment and Ensure their Proper Functioning

Manage records of instruments, schedule instrument calibration, and perform preventive maintenance. CloudLIMS helps you maintain calibration and maintenance results, in addition to integrating instruments to load results directly.

Manage Documents

Seamlessly manage documents, such as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for sample processing, and ensure document control. You can send documents for periodic review and approval to authorized personnel and ensure that only the latest version of documents is accessible to all authorized personnel.

Advantages of CloudLIMS - A Comprehensive LIMS for Clinical Research Labs

Manage Specimens

Securely store annotated specimen data, track specimens using barcodes, print labels, maintain specimen Chain of Custody (CoC), and manage all aspects of specimen genealogy, including aliquots, derivatives, and pooled specimens.

Manage Tests

Manage tests and their results, maintain test CoC, validate test results, automate the calculation of complex test results, analyze trends based on test results, and generate professional custom test reports.

Manage Participants

Seamlessly manage participant data, demographic details, clinical history, and consent, and anonymize sensitive participant data to meet ethical and legal requirements.

Manage Storage

Create and view storage inventory graphically to manage storage locations of thousands of different types of samples, enabling quick and accurate tracking of samples. CloudLIMS can help assign samples to storage locations automatically.

Instrument and Software Integration

Clinical research laboratories receive hundreds of samples and generate massive volumes of data on a day-to-day basis. Manual transfer of data from analytical instruments such as LC-MS, GC-MS, HPLC, spectrophotometers, ICP-MS, NGS, cell counters, ELISA, chemiluminescence immuno analyzer, real-time PCR, digital PCR, end-point PCR platforms, genetic analyzers, and others to a LIMS is error-prone and time-consuming. For effective management of growing data volumes and laboratory automation, instrument and software integration is indispensable. Instrument and software integration facilitates data transfer from analytical instruments and software to a LIMS, thereby eliminating chances of transcription errors and data redundancy and ensuring data integrity. Furthermore, it helps automate laboratory workflows, thereby saving time and resources, reducing turnaround times, and enhancing efficiency.

How CloudLIMS Supports Instrument and Software Integration?

CloudLIMS supports instrument and software integration in the following ways:

Instrument Integration: CSV/XLS is a standard output file type generated by most analytical instruments. The CSV file mapping enables data to be imported from multiple instruments into the LIMS. CloudLIMS periodically reads instrument-generated CSV files and maps the headers present in the files with the correct fields in CloudLIMS, thereby transferring the analytical data to CloudLIMS seamlessly.
Software Integration: CloudLIMS offers REST API to integrate with third-party software such as EMR, EHR, and LIS. Furthermore, CloudLIMS can be integrated with statistical data analysis software for downstream data analysis.

CloudLIMS - A Future-Ready LIMS for Clinical Research and Trials

Manage Studies

Manage clinical studies, associate them with samples, participants, and study in-charge, and generate custom study reports. Furthermore, you can associate documents with study records.

Manage Inventory

Manage laboratory inventory such as reagents and other consumables, import inventory records from a file, or simply scan barcodes to add new items to your inventory.

Manage Kits

Manage and configure kits, design barcodes for kits, and print labels. You can set reminders to receive alerts if the current number of kits is less than the specified quantity, ensuring the timely ordering of kits.

Manage Package & Shipment

Track all shipments right from the origin to the destination to avoid misplacing samples. You can assign a unique ID to each incoming and outgoing shipment, associate each shipment with samples, and then check in the incoming samples or remove the ones shipped out.
