DESCRIPTION

THE LIMS SOLUTION

• CogiLIMS® is the application that underlies the LIMS solution offered by CogiLab (Canada) and constitutes a single point of access to all laboratory data. CogiLIMS® can assist laboratories in the carrying out of complex analysis procedures on a great volume of samples of diverse nature, while maintaining the specificity of the operations required for each type of analysis.
• CogiLIMS® allows the directors of the laboratory to customize the types of analysis in order to account for the evolution of analysis procedures, thus insuring the sustainability of the solution and a coherent and simple use of the LIMS solution.

• CogiLIMS® can handle the vast majority of an accredited laboratory’s operations and simplifies the laboratory’s management. Is facilitates the daily work of its users and allows the directors of the laboratory to demonstrate its compliance with quality standards.
• CogiLab also offers applications for automated electronic transfer of sample collection data (paperless DCFs).
