Abbott's STARLIMS to be Used in U.S. FDA Labs
January, 2012
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has selected Abbott's STARLIMS software-based laboratory information management system (LIMS) as part of an initiative to enhance its own testing laboratories.
The agency's Office of Regulatory Affairs (ORA) will use the system to manage complex processes and the analysis of the vast amounts of information generated by its laboratories, including the testing of food and drug chemistries, devices, forensic material and microbiology samples.
"We're looking forward to working on this important initiative," said Isaac Friedman, Head of the STARLIMS business. "STARLIMS has a successful track record in implementing web-based LIMS for life sciences organizations, public health laboratories and a number of federal agencies."
The ORA mainly operates five types of laboratories in 14 separate locations across the United States. The LIMS solution will provide the needed capability to manage the analytical workflow operations in ORA labs for approximately 825 users supporting sample accountability, data analysis, document control, report generation and other lab functions.
