About the LIMSpec (adapted from LIMSpec 2019 R1, Sept. 2019)

Many specification documents for laboratory informatics systems have been compiled over the years. Most of them tend to focus on a potential client's "wishlist" of features for a given system. This medical diagnostics and research lab LIMSpec is based on the 2019 version of the general LIMSpec, which attempts to take a regulatory-, standards-, and guidance-based approach to building a specification document for laboratory informatics systems. After the introduction and methodology, various requirements are organized and listed, supported by one or more regulations, standards, or guidance documents.

The table of contents is as follows:

1. Introduction
Introduction and methodology
2. Primary Laboratory Workflow
1. Sample and experiment registration
2. Sample management
3. Core laboratory testing and experiments
4. Results review and verification
5. Sample, experiment, and study approval and verification
6. Reporting
3. Maintaining Laboratory Workflow and Operations
7. Document management
8. Resource management
9. Compliance management
10. Instrument and equipment management
11. Batch and lot management
12. Scheduled event management
13. Instrument data capture and control
14. Standard and reagent management
15. Inventory management
16. Investigation management
4. Specialty Laboratory Functions


Note: These categories cover the specialty requirements that come with working in specific industries such as agriculture, pharmaceutical production, and forensic science. You'll likely notice that most of the content here isn't covered by ASTM E1578-18.
