that our legacy system was being phased out, we searched for a new

information management solution that would guarantee the reliability

and quality of each test we perform, in every lab discipline.

STARLIMS can do all that, while also enhancing our communications

with our laboratories and sample collection sites across the

country,” said the Chairman and Managing Director, (Hony) Brig. Dr.

Arvind Lal.

Configuration Supports a Comprehensive Suite of Tests

the largest diagnostic testing provider in India, Dr Lal PathLabs has

a comprehensive range of over 2,100 tests and panels including

hundreds of tests in areas ranging from hematology to molecular

diagnostics. STARLIMS was selected in part for its diverse

functionality for disciplines such as chemistry, cytogenetics and

genetics. Another important factor was STARLIMS' flexible platform,

which will enable Dr Lal PathLabs to easily configure the LIMS to

match each one of its hundreds of protocols.

LIMS Expedites Deployment and Remote Data Access

face="Times New Roman, serif">STARLIMS

is a web-based LIMS that offers convenient company-wide deployment

with no need for client-side downloads. This will facilitate a smooth

transition as Dr Lal PathLabs deploys STARLIMS to replace the

Centricity Ultra Laboratory Information System (LIS) that is being

discontinued by GE Healthcare. It also means that information will be

instantly available throughout Dr Lal PathLabs's wide-ranging

network, which includes sample collection in health centers,

hospitals, Labs and Collection Centers throughout India.
