Is Your LIMS Holding Your Lab Back? Why a LIMS Alone Isn’t Enough 

Reading Time: 5 minutes

Laboratory information management systems (LIMS) are often hailed as the cornerstone of modern lab operations, central to digital transformation and essential for regulatory compliance. They’re positioned as the “digital backbone” of the lab, helping manage samples, data, and routine workflows. And in many ways, that reputation is well-earned.  But here’s the reality: A LIMS alone...

Solid-Phase Extraction: From Sample Prep Fundamentals to Best Practices

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Chromatography and mass spectrometry sample preparation is one of the most critical (and underrated) steps in analytical chemistry—ensuring samples are clean and concentrated enough for accurate, reproducible analysis. Shortchanging sample preparation can compromise data accuracy, reduce method robustness, and even cause timely downtime of expensive instrumentation when it matters most. What Are the Challenges in...
