Agilent SLIMS

Finding Support in the Time of COVID-19

We want to do our part and extend our support for labs dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, and labs impacted by the restrictions imposed by the crisis. In this difficult time, we have an experienced team who are concerned about the increase in demand and workload. SLIMS is positioned to help. Not only can the platform handle big volumes of data, but we fulfill emergency requests for COVID-19 research laboratories who need to ramp up their operations urgently. We support several analytical, research and biobanking labs all year long.

Four Ways SLIMS Reinforces Lab Efficiency

  • SLIMS is a Simple Laboratory Information Management System with everything you need to move from paper to digital lab work in a short time.

  • SLIMS can communicate with any pre-existing PCR machine or other instruments in the lab. Communication with lab instruments allows the lab to automate sample tracking, track the lab workflow start to finish, and reduce turnaround time.

  • SLIMS is made with the latest tech, is continually being updated with new versions, is browser-based, and can be accessed securely from anywhere.

  • SLIMS has several installation options and can be deployed rapidly and 100% remotely, with remote access to training and support throughout the process.

Labs On The Front Lines Of The COVID-19

Labs doing research on the pandemic are dealing with more pressure than ever. The increase in demand when the supply of materials and samples are under strain and at times uncertain, the urgent need of a fast turnaround, and the impact of restrictions like social distancing and employee health protection.

The SLIMS team has organized some solutions to assist labs under this challenge. We know that your most efficient work will help fight the threat and prevent future outbreak, and we want to support it. Contact us to see how we can help.

MY LAB IS ON THE FRONT LINES OF THE PANDEMIC

Meet increased demand with fast SLIMS deployment

We have a solution prepared to help effectively handle an increase in workload and states' working restrictions. This system can be deployed quickly and remotely, having been designed to a specification with the minimum required features.

We have set up a running SLIMS in less than a week configured for a research lab already. Samples are tracked through a RT-PCR workflow and the lab is handling 2000 samples a day, less than a week after first contact with the customer.

SLIMS is flexible enough to support your research for qRT-PCR, drug testing, serological testing, and any workflow you need.

The platform’s flexibility allows the definition of simplified layouts to support quick enrollment of new personnel with almost no training to face the urgency of increased

Running 4x more samples, tracking on a paper journal becomes almost impossible. When facing upwards of thousands of samples to analyze per week, you not only need a LIMS, you need it to be running quickly.

Labs Impacted By The Pandemic And Our Impact On Your Lab

During this pandemic, around half of worldwide labs are shut down and only 11% of labs are fully functional at a time when 100% of labs need to be thriving. There are many stressors in the industry and culture that impact a lab’s functionality and are outside of the lab’s control. Our experts believe that a tool like SLIMS among other solutions can mitigate your impacted work life.

SLIMS will improve the way you work now, and the lab retains the benefits even after the crisis has ended. Digitalization and integration are key parts of a puzzle to help meet industry demands.

MY LAB IS IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC

Explore the comprehensive benefits you gain today and after the crisis has passed.

Reach your system from anywhere (works with low bandwidth, without extra installation, and fully secured). Access results when working from home, or just from your office.

SLIMS can be configured and customized very quickly by leveraging the SLIMS Store. Deploy complex configurations in just a single click. This is how SLIMS can be configured to handle 2000 samples in a RT-PCR workflow in less than a week. Preset workflows and reports can be shipped through the Store.

Sharing work, better turnover and organization. Can share projects, assign tasks, shift workload between personnel and teams with no gap as one person takes over where another left off.

The SLIMS team provides 100% remote deployment, training, and support. We are easy to reach even in a crisis.

SLIMS supports quality management out of the box so you will not sacrifice quality for speed. For example, features such as history tracking, report generation, SOP management, electronic signatures, status transitions, and validation help your lab stay compliant under extra stress, or reach compliance.

SLIMS provides complete sample journey tracking throughout the workflow. From the moment the sample is registered, through samples aliquoting, reagents, instruments, and results tracking, throughout each analysis step, automatic interpretation of results and up until the generation of a final analysis report (or Certificate of Analysis.)

Plate visualization ensures you track the position of DNA index sets (barcodes) the whole way through testing, into the instrument, and through the results.

There are three installation possibilities: on premises installation, on your own cloud, or on the secure Agilent cloud. With the cloud, we can provide a running SLIMS instance in less than 2 hours, with no long negotiations with your local IT to host a server and database on premises. We maintain the SLIMS instance, not the customer’s IT, and we do so remotely.
