Thermo Scientific™ SampleManager LIMS is a flexible, scalable enterprise LIMS for companies seeking a corporate standard for Quality Control operations.

SampleManager is a proven tool for the efficient testing of samples that routinely pass through a typical lab - whether process testing, quality assurance, or R&D—by sorting test information and organizing it into specific report formats to meet regulatory requirements. The complete testing routine is managed, from sample login to testing, re-testing, and final reporting.
SampleManager 11, features advanced new tools and user-interface enhancements that improve laboratory process mapping, management and automation. Workflow capabilities simplify implementation, allowing lab managers to easily model their processes in SampleManager. As laboratory needs change, workflows can be modified to change with them. SampleManager 11 puts decision making power where it belongs, in the hands of users who can make logical choices about workflow, instrument integration and data reporting for management metrics or regulatory requirements. A workflow-driven LIMS delivers the agility necessary for today's businesses to transform as the regulatory or economic environment requires.

The latest release of SampleManager—the most widely deployed LIMS in the world now delivers workflow configurability, user-intuitive multiple sample login, point and click extensibility and enhanced data mining and tracking capabilities to benefit a wide range of industries, including pharmaceutical QA/QC, oil and gas, contract labs, food producers, environmental industries and others.

For LIMS Users: automated workflow guides users through lab processes, saving time and simplifying user interactions.

For Lab Managers: easily configurable workflow design allows the lab to adapt to changing business or regulatory requirements.

For IT and Systems Administration: .NET development environment for rapid prototyping and easier integration.

For Management: state-of-the-art data visualization tools to monitor and measure performance against key metrics.
