LIMS
Key Features of a Good LIMS
The power of any LIMS system is in its features and functionalities to cover the complete laboratory process and automate them.
Some of the key features of a good LIMS are:
Easy configuration to ensure compatibility with customer requirements and adaptability to the evolving laboratory needs.
Seamless tracking of a sample’s lifecycle, right from sample accessioning, storage, and sample tests, to the permanent disposal of samples.
A user-friendly interface with access to the various modules and functionality based on access privileges.
Easy exchange of data between a LIMS and other instruments via a flexible integration facility.
A key feature of LIMS software is its ability to centralize and manage all the peripheral elements essential for executing laboratory workflows. A LIMS database is a central repository that stores and organizes vast amounts of data related to laboratory samples, tests, and workflows. It serves as the backbone of a LIMS, enabling efficient data management, retrieval, and analysis for seamless laboratory operations.

Technologies
Revol LIMS offer the most modern integrated platform, leveraging the latest industry-standard technologies.
Revol technology is 100% browser-based, generating a multitude of advantages:
Pure HTML5 compliant user access, available from any device, anywhere
Zero footprint means no client programs, applets, or plugins to install, validate or manage
Options for Cloud-hosting via AWS, Azure, Google or your Cloud provider, or on-premise
Simplified implementation and upgrades
Revol LIMS is a Dot Net based solution supporting a variety of application servers from IBM, Oracle, and Red Hat, as well as modern databases from Oracle and Microsoft. It deploys ready for integration with instruments and other business systems. It can be centrally hosted for global deployment, supporting thousands of simultaneous users.
Multitier Architecture Presentation tier consisting of the web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or Apple Safari) Application tier consisting of a Dot Net Data tier consisting of a database server (Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server). Reports may be executed from Revol on the application server tier or from a dedicated report server tier.
Web BrowserRevol LIMS runs in a web browser on the client tier. The application does not require any browser plug-ins or applets, which significantly simplifies deployment and system validation. The client requires approximately 12kB of TCP/IP bandwidth making it a perfect solution for wide area access from a centrally hosted server.
