A laboratory information management system (LIMS) can be purpose-built to a specific industry or designed to broadly meet the base needs of most any lab. As such, given different vendor approaches and different industry needs, functionality may vary among LIMS, sometimes significantly. But what are the most important features of these systems?

To be fair, asking a question about "most important features" makes it tough to come up with something other than a subjective answer. On one hand, important to who? The laboratory seeking a LIMS is of course going to have its own workflows and other unique requirements, and that lab will want a LIMS that can address those needs and requirements. On the other, some iteration of the LIMS has been around for decades, and while the way laboratory work has been conducted has changed over time, some LIMS requirements have remained the same.
