Blood Research- Saving Lives (8352) (9759352093).jpg

While clinical diagnostic and other related labs will interact with blood, blood banking and transfusion labs have different workflows and end goals, requiring a specialized informatics solution. Activities driving the need for a purpose-built LIMS include screening specimens against high-risk donors such as commercial sex workers and drug users, testing potential donors for infection diseases, documenting and reviewing (lookback of) donors and recipients, ensuring sufficient time is given for blood testing and cross-matching, and ensuring staff are appropriately trained concerning the risks to them and patients.[1] These specialized workflows and responsibilities require a LIMS that is flexible enough to these specialized testing, documentation and training needs.

In addition to the essential features of a standard LIMS, the blood bank and transfusion lab will also be looking for a system that can (or allows users to)[2][3][4][5]:
