In today’s global food economy, safety isn’t just expected—it’s essential. From raw materials and packaging to production, testing, and transport, every point in the food supply chain must meet strict quality and safety standards. That’s where ISO 22000 comes in. ISO 22000 is the internationally recognized standard for food safety management systems (FSMS). Developed by the International Organization for Standardization…

This article is going to dive deeper into LIMS and look at both how it works and also improves lab operations.  We’ll do that by looking at one type of service testing lab as an example – a water quality testing lab – and seeing how the components of a LIMS can improve its operation.  Because service testing labs have…

A fire, flood, cyberattack, or even a pandemic – these are the nightmares that keep lab managers up at night. The consequences of a lab disaster can be devastating, from data loss and equipment damage to regulatory non-compliance and financial ruin. While prevention is key, having a robust disaster recovery plan is equally essential. This is where a Laboratory Information…

As laboratories expand into multiple locations, managing workflows, data, and compliance across sites becomes increasingly complex. Multi-location lab management requires a strategic approach to standardization, data integration, and operational oversight. In this article, we’ll explore the key challenges of managing multiple labs—and how a centralized, cloud-based LIMS solution like the LabLynx LIMS Suite helps you simplify and scale your laboratory…

In today’s data-driven lab environment, selecting the right Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is more than a technology decision—it’s a strategic one. Whether you’re running a clinical lab, environmental testing facility, manufacturing QA lab, or academic research center, your choice of LIMS will directly impact productivity, data integrity, compliance readiness, and your ability to scale. But with so many vendors…

Bees are more than buzzing pollinators—they’re the backbone of global agriculture and ecosystem health. In response to rising threats like colony collapse disorder, pesticides, and climate change, bee research laboratories have become critical players in the fight to protect bee populations worldwide. These specialized labs combine fieldwork, microbiology, genomics, toxicology, and environmental analysis to better understand—and ultimately safeguard—these vital pollinators.…

Every great whiskey tells a story—but behind that smooth finish and rich aroma lies a world of scientific precision. Whiskey testing labs play a critical role in ensuring quality, authenticity, and compliance throughout the distillation and bottling process. From chemical analysis to sensory evaluation, these labs help distillers craft consistent, safe, and standout spirits that meet regulatory standards and exceed…

LIMS integration is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for labs that want to stay competitive, compliant, and data-driven. A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is the core of your lab’s digital operations, but its true power is unlocked when it seamlessly connects with the tools, instruments, and systems you already use. This article explores how LIMS integration works, why…

As the global population rises and climate change intensifies, food security has become one of the most urgent challenges of our time. Laboratories play a vital role in ensuring safe, nutritious, and sustainable food supplies across the world. From detecting contaminants to driving agricultural innovation, laboratories are the unsung heroes at the center of global food security efforts. What Is…

In today’s laboratories, security isn’t just about locks and keycards—it’s about protecting data, samples, systems, and reputations. As labs become more digital, decentralized, and collaborative, managing laboratory security has become both more complex and more critical. Whether you operate a clinical diagnostics lab, an environmental testing facility, or an R&D center, strong lab security is essential to ensure operational integrity,…
