LIMS Standardization – The Real Benefits for the Process Industry

Automation of laboratory data capture and analysis is claimed to be the major challenge facing the petrochemical industry. Indeed, elimination of manual processes leads to considerable product quality improvements while also aiding compliance with strict environmental regulations. As a result, companies that wish to remain ahead of the competition are standardizing on Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS). PEMEX Gas and Basic Petrochemicals initiated a LIMS standardization project and implemented Thermo Electron’s SampleManager LIMS™ solution across its nine gas processing facilities in Mexico.
