What is Cloud-Based LIMS?

A Cloud-Based LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is a digital solution that enables labs to manage samples, workflows, inventory, and data in a centralized, web-accessible environment. Unlike traditional on-premise systems, a cloud-based LIMS runs on remote servers and can be accessed from anywhere, offering unmatched flexibility, scalability, and security.

What is a LIMS?

A LIMS is a software system designed to support the daily operations of a laboratory. It helps manage complex data, automate routine tasks, streamline sample tracking, and ensure compliance with industry standards. From biotech and pharma to diagnostics and academia, LIMS platforms are the backbone of efficient and compliant laboratory operations.

What Does “Cloud-Based” Mean?

When a LIMS is cloud-based, it means the software and data are hosted on secure cloud servers instead of local infrastructure. Users can access the platform through a web browser, without needing to install software or maintain dedicated servers on-site. Cloud-based systems offer automatic updates, remote access, and built-in data redundancy.
