Thermo Scientific™ Watson LIMS™ Software by Thermo Fisher Scientific

Bioanalytical laboratories need to have complete management and oversight over items such as sample management, study protocols, assay development and validation, analytical runs, and the flow of data. Implementing Watson LIMS software promotes visibility, quality, and integrity into the management of these items, ensuring compliance with industry and regulatory standards. Watson LIMS software is specifically designed and built to support the bioanalytical workflow, allowing users to:

• Manage study design and method validation: Emulate study protocols, perform method development and validation with complete reporting and documentation.
• Maintain sample chain of custody: Utilize the audit trail feature to monitor each movement a sample makes. Items such as sample storage location, shipment records, and freeze/thaw details are all maintained in the system.
• Connect laboratory instruments and software: Reduce the risk of manual transcription errors by automating data capture and management processes.
• Streamline sample analysis: Perform PK and ADA calculations and analyses with the software. Define run acceptance criteria and create flags for samples or QCs that are out of range.
• Execute efficient reporting and QA review: Generate a full study report including method validation experiments, assay performance and study data within the system. Data can be reported in CDISC SEND and SDTM format to help streamline the submission process.
• Ensure traceability throughout a study: Complete study records and reports from study initiation through study closeout, including sample chain of custody, assay verification, and reconstruction events.

Watson LIMS software creates efficiencies and promotes compliance for bioanalytical laboratories, whether you are working with small or large molecule candidates.
