QuickLIMS: facilitating the data management for DNA-microarray fabrication.
CONCLUSIONS
QuickLIMS is a Microsoft Access-based laboratory information and management system, capable of processing all information for microarray production. The program's operational flow is protocol-based, dynamically adapting to changes of the process. It interacts with the laboratory robot and with other database systems over the network, and it represents a complete solution for the management of the entire manufacturing process.
