GenoLogics, a Canadian supplier of informatics solutions for multiple sciences, has installed a lab and data management system at The Centre for Applied Genomics (TCAG) at The Hospital for Sick Children based at the University of Toronto.
TCAG conducts and promotes research in genomics in support of academic, government and private sector scientists worldwide. The GenoLogics solution will be deployed at TCAG’s microarray analysis and gene expression, DNA sequencing and synthesis, cytogenomics and genome resources and genetic and statistical analysis facilities.
‘We required a single LIMS that was flexible enough to automate data capture and workflows for each service provided, while still being able to integrate billing, reporting and sample tracking across the entire operation,’ said Dr Steve Scherer, TCAG director.
The Geneus system has provided TCAG with immediate value. Pre-configured integrations to more than 20 of the instruments in use means TCAG will improve efficiencies, data quality and workflow management for the entire operation.
TCAG is also deploying GenoLogics’ web collaboration tool, LabLink, and reporting engine in order to generate and share information with patients.
