What problems is Di-LIMS solving and how is that benefiting you?
DiData is the only system that allowed us to organize a chaotic data of biobank historically created 15 years ago at a research institution , as a part of collaboration with the largest medical facilities in Latvia. We had over 100 different cohorts, each with its own sample collection strategy, historical IDs and protocol developed by individual researchers or doctors. Thanks to DiData's adaptability, this environment allowed us to systematize these data.
This LIMS simplified our workflow and offered the capability to create custom kits for each study, where, with just one click, we are able to create for example 50 new patient records, which all will contain its study IDs and derived samples/tubes/documents kits. It is possible to design the study for a specific task, define coding, sample&tube types, at any time add new fields, columns, sample types or variations of protocols.
DiData also allows the creation of workflows for common in all biomedical labs sampe collection &reception, blood processing, DNA and RNA extraction, and the registration of documents and sample requests. We also use DNA concentration calculations, sample volume calculations, and thawing cycle calculations, not to mention the standard requirements for sample quality tracking like date and time recording in every process.
Personally, as a lab manager, I appreciate that the system is intuitive, you can overwiev all data in one customizable table, it is possible to create and save custom views with filters for each needed report e.g., about amout of incomming blood samples in particular study, or the number of patients involved during the specified period. DiData LIMS making it easy to import/export data, derive new samples from large unregistered data sets, and thus, we have been able to organize a large volume of previously unregistered samples. Administrator user can also correct data which is essential as stuff in hospitals do not have time to correct if unusual situation occur. Anyone could track corrected fields in the audit and find recently or at particular date corrected samples etc. The system allows for the creation of storage units in any format (which vary in each laboratory) that match the physical location of the sample. It also supports the addition of label printers, scanners etc. Generate labels with customisable information like ID, date, tube type, process, barcodes, as well as registering boxes and tubes with existing QR codes.
