"Laboratory information management system for the biosafety laboratory: Safety and efficiency"

The laboratory information management system (LIMS) has been widely used to facilitate laboratory activities. However, the current LIMS does not contain functions to improve the safety of laboratory work, which is a major concern of biosafety laboratories (BSLs). With significant biosafety information needing to be managed and an increasing number of biosafety-related research projects underway, it is worthy of expanding the current framework of LIMS and building a system that is more suitable for BSL usage. Such a system should carefully trade off between the safety and efficiency of regular lab activities, allowing laboratory staff to conduct their research as freely as possible while also ensuring their and the environment’s safety. In order to achieve this goal, relevant information on the type of research, laboratory personnel, experimental materials, and experimental equipment must be collected and fully utilized by a centralized system and its databases.
