SOUTH BEND, Ind. – GoInformatics, Inc., an innovator in Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) for academia, healthcare, and other biotech industries, announces the release of golims™, an evolution in LIMS for small to medium-sized laboratories.

Increasing demands for regulatory compliance, data security, function integration and collaboration are driving the entire research informatics market. golims™ aggregates LIMS, electronic notebook, and study management functionality with enhanced accessibility and substantially lower total cost of ownership, by leveraging the emergence of the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, making this vital functionality immediately available to all laboratories.

“golims™ is designed for the underserved market of small to medium-sized labs, in the biology, chemistry, and pharmaceutical industries,” according to Chad Gregory, GoInformatics founder and CEO. “Our web-based solution allows those labs the ability to organize studies, experiments, and sample inventories, with a tool that is cost-efficient, easy to learn, and always available.” golims™ combines critical functionality that has been typically accessible only to the larger, better-funded laboratories and provides it as a service to budget conscience small and medium-sized laboratories.

Having worked in the software development industry for a combined total of 20 years, with the past four years exclusively focused on laboratory information management systems, the golims™ management team has experienced firsthand the challenges of obtaining and using existing LIMS software.

“Our innovative approach brings a complete solution in an easy-to-use service, eliminating upfront hardware and software licensing costs, reducing startup time to a few hours,” Gregory explains. “Traditional LIMS packages can take weeks or months to acquire the necessary administrative approvals; and their implementations and training can take even longer. By contrast, golims™ offers immediate satisfaction, just go to our site, sign up for a risk-free 14-day trial, and within minutes you are ready to go.”

golims™ allows principal investigators, research assistants and lab technicians to:

* Track samples and their locations, and capture required associated data

* Connect people and procedures, to collaborate using an always available central system

* Generate universally unique barcodes, for more efficient operating procedures

* Collect unlimited experiment observations including charts, graphs and pictures

* Manage documents and images by connecting important files with studies, observations, samples, etc.

* Conform to comprehensive security and regulatory compliance (21 CFR Part 11, GLP, HIPAA)

“Our goal is to give labs more control with less effort – letting them focus on science, not software,” Gregory says.
