The fall of 2022 has seen new LIMSwiki content in the form of both more LIMS FAQ articles (mentioned in late June news) and revisions to LIMSpec, all with a focus on the food and beverage industry. A series of four LIMS FAQ articles concerning various aspects of food and beverage laboratories have been released, again each article focusing on one primary question related to the industry. In a corresponding move, nearly 30 food and beverage standards and regulations have been integrated into LIMSpec, now updated to revision two (R2) for 2022. With these updates, those in the industry will hopefully feel at least a tiny bit more represented on the wiki. Happy reading!

More refreshed and new content has made its way here this June. First, having not been updated in quite some time, it was time to review and refresh The Comprehensive Guide to Physician Office Laboratory Setup and Operation. This second edition updates numerous statistics and reference material, adds new findings related to POLs, and reorganizes the structure to be more consistent with current LIMSwiki guides. Trends concerning reimbursement for tests, molecular testing, pharmacy labs, and more were added to the guide, as was more up-to-date information about return on investment, data management practices, and quality assurance. Second, we're dipping our toes into a new initiative called "LIMS FAQ," which intends to, in a brief technical format, address important questions that can be asked about laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and similar software systems. The first LIMS FAQ article, What are the key elements of a LIMS for forensics and medical examiners?, is live on the wiki. It's not clear how often these will be created, but you can always poke your nose in here from time to time to see what's new. Happy reading!
