Working With A Lab Information System

By Robert Jones


In terms of physical abilities, humanity is at a massive disadvantage in comparison to literally every other animal on the planet with similar mass. Even when that comparison is whittled down to just the great apes, humankind is still at an overwhelming physical disadvantage. A human mixed martial artist, no matter how hard they train and how many performance enhancing drugs they take, is never going to win a straight fight against a gorilla or a bear. So, if they should ever find themselves in confrontation against one, it would be best to use a gun. And that is about the gist. That one tool is how humanity managed to become the undisputed top of the food chain. While humans did not get to have speed or strength, they did get to have brains, and they used the intellect that came with those brains to create tools, and those tools bridged the physical gap pretty easily. Nowadays, that intellect is driven to other scientific pursuits. But there are limits to the brain. In order to make sure that a brain is not overloaded with information or has to strain itself to be, a laboratory will make use of a lab information system.

A LIS is a type of software. It is mostly used in a laboratory, as the name would imply. They are used for a variety of tasks in such a setting.

The reason that they are needed is simple. Information needs to be easily accessible by all the people in the lab. It also needs to be safely stored, because no one wants to lose any progress.

There is going to be more than one LIS available on the market. Which is going to make the decision regarding which one to use a little more difficult than just picking between A and B. But there are things to consider when making such a choice. The needs of the work being done must be considered first and foremost. Software that would work great in a financial office may not have its applications translate well to something like a chemistry lab.

One very important factor is compatibility. Some software will simply not work with certain computers. Which means that either the computers will have to be replaced, or different software will have will be purchased out of necessity. Now, there will be some software that will only work with certain hardware requirements.

Now, money is going to be an issue. A laboratory does not generate its own money. It is funded. Some are corporate owned, so they make money if the products they produce generate revenue. But for the most part, a lab is going to have a budget. So the price of the software is going must be taken into consideration.

Now, it has to function properly at all time. The software chosen must not be the kind that freezes up. Because then, productivity can slow down.

It is very important to make sure that there is a backup. Things can happen in life that can seem like they happened right out of nowhere. So it is of paramount importance to make sure that there is a backup at the ready just in case something happens.

The thing about being alive was that it was never meant to be easy. But humanity was stubborn. So it went ahead and made it easy.
