So if I own 100 licenses, and I look at my usage right now, it might say I am using 50 licenses out of 100. Does this mean I have 50 too many licenses? Probably not. I just need a way of telling what my peak usage is so that if I want to roll LabWare out to another site, do I need to buy more licenses? Or will my 100 cover for it? Importing data into static data tables is not well done in LabWare ... or even available. I can do it outside of LabWare with database management tools such as TOAD.

It would be nice to have a feature within LabWare to do import data (from Excel spreadsheet for example) directly into some of the main tables.,10,Very positive. It allows the production units to increase volumes (and thus sampling) with minor impact on the lab.,

  • One of the strengths of this program, as previously stated, is to track your sample through the entire testing process, from log-in to results reporting.
  • It is also handy to generate reports of sample results using the LabWare LIMS program.
  • LabWare LIMS provides a great way to preserve testing results electronically for future needs.
  • LabWare LIMS seems somewhat intuitive, but there is room for improvement in the user controls. It can be difficult or confusing sometimes to find the exact sample that you are looking for.
It is well-suited to a busy QC laboratory with a medium sample load. It is a good mechanism for managing sample flow. It may not be as easy to use in a busier laboratory with a very large sample load that may overload the LIMS system.

Sample testing is great, communications (emails) out is so-so, depending on your need, you have to develop something. But that is not hard to do.
