The impact of the computer revolution on the biotech and medical industry is unquantifiable. Imagine attempting the Human Genome Project with pen and paper! Fortunately, and perhaps inevitably, we can rely on software to design experiments, collect, interpret, and analyze data, and even entertain us while we wait for results. A variety of life science software can be used to support or drive different applications in biological research. Among these are software specific to biological applications, such as bioimaging, chromatography, genomics, and gene expression analysis. Laboratory management software, like Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), are also available to support operations or improve workflow and throughput.
When considering new software it is always important to investigate the compatibility of operating systems, drivers, and instrument components. Computer hardware and software can go out of date rather quickly; look for the ability to upgrade as systems change. An institution’s IT department may need to be consulted to integrate new technology into laboratory information systems. Look for companies with friendly technology support to help you get your new system up and running.
