Development of an Excel-based laboratory information management system for improving workflow efficiencies in early
1Drug Metabolism & Pharmacokinetics, Platform Technology & Science, GlaxoSmithKline R&D, Shanghai 201203, China.
Background:
There is a clear requirement for enhancing laboratory information management during early absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) screening. The application of a commercial laboratory information management system (LIMS) is limited by complexity, insufficient flexibility, high costs and extended timelines.
Results:
An improved custom in-house LIMS for ADME screening was developed using Excel. All Excel templates were generated through macros and formulae, and information flow was streamlined as much as possible. This system has been successfully applied in task generation, process control and data management, with a reduction in both labor time and human error rates.
Conclusion:
An Excel-based LIMS can provide a simple, flexible and cost/time-saving solution for improving workflow efficiencies in early ADME screening.
