Norway-based HUNT Research Centre and Biobank hosts one of the largest population-based health studies ever performed, consisting of three separate studies that span nearly 25 years and evaluate the same patient population. The studies, initiated to support epidemiological, clinical and preventive medical research, offer valuable insight into disease status and progression, particularly in relation to quality-of-life measures such as one’s environment, education and occupation. In preparation for the third study, HUNT Research Centre and Biobank recognized the need to deploy a technology to better manage and analyze real-time data. HUNT implemented Thermo Scientific Nautilus Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) to facilitate their ability to gather, store, manage, track and retrieve data securely, and yield real-time, dependable analysis and reports. Built on the Microsoft.NET Framework, Thermo Scientific Nautilus LIMS™ with the use of Visual Studio has enabled HUNT Research Centre and Biobank to improve its efficiency and data reliability to better serve the research community.

With more than 12,000 R&D employees spanning eight countries, centralizing biochemical screening operations across AstraZenca’s global R&D centers creates a host of challenges. Typically managed at the local laboratory level, the effort to harmonize disparate processes to record, track and manage a growing number of requests for compound screening was identified as a major hindrance to productivity. AstraZeneca implemented Thermo Scientific Nautilus Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) to centralize biochemical screenings, map laboratory workflows and dramatically drive efficiency through superior data management. Built on Microsoft’s Visual Studio .NET, Thermo Scientific Nautilus LIMS helped coordinate global requests, automate workflows and standardize screening. Within six months of the deployment, AstraZeneca realized a 180 percent efficiency gain across its laboratories from the centralized screening process.
