Laboratory Information Systems (LIMS)

A LIMS is a software platform enabling users to effectively manage the flow of samples and associate data to support laboratory operations and enhance efficiency. Through the use of a LIMS, laboratories can automate workflows, tests and procedures, integrate instruments, provide a complete record of all samples, tests and results in the system via secure and comprehensive audit trails. LIMS helps laboratories streamline operations by making the move from paper to a digital environment, with the goal of saving time, money and reducing errors.

Cryogenic storage

It is essential that your precious cryogenic preserved materials are maintained at all times at the correct temperature. Bluechiip enabled products delivers confidence that the quality of your cryogenic sample has not been affected by temperature fluctuations.

Bluechiip’s unique and patented technology is designed to operate across a wide temperature range from -196°C to over +100°C, creating the perfect system for managing sensitive samples

For more information on why you should switch to a barcode/RFID labeling system and consider Bluechiip technology and their enabled products please visit the Sample storage, Readers and Software pages.

Bar-Code/RFID label software

Barcode & RFID labelling systems can benefit all sizes of companies in optimising their internal processes to save time and money. Barcode labels can be created with your company logo embedded within and they may contain brand colours and graphics to improve awareness and recognition.

Protein analysis

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteomes. A proteome is a set of proteins produced in an organism, system, or biological context. We may refer to, for instance, the proteome of a species (for example, Homo sapiens) or an organ (for example, the liver).The proteome is not constant; it differs from cell to cell and changes over time.

Proteome software have developed identification, quantitation and phosporylation sites of proteins:

Identification
Scaffold: Quickly visualize and validate MS/MS protein search results.
Scaffold LFQ: Analysis and organisation of large scale proteomics experiments.

Quantitation
Q+S: Quantitate multiple iTRAQ & TMT experiments effortlessly.

Phosphorylation sites
PTM: Confident Post Translational Modification (PTM) site assignment.Metabolomics

Automation: Scaffold can be written into your analysis pipelines using its command-line interface.

Metabolomics

Metabolomics is the large-scale study of small molecules, commonly known as metabolites, within cells, biofluids, tissues or organisms. Collectively, these small molecules and their interactions within a biological system are known as the metabolome. Metabolomics is a powerful approach because metabolites and their concentrations, unlike other “omics” measures, directly reflect the underlying biochemical activity and state of cells / tissues. As a result Thus metabolomics is the best representation of the molecular phenotype.
