Intelligent Integration
Spring 2021 Issue | Sophia Ktori continues the discussion on software integration in the laboratory
“In a real-world setting there are two types of data. You have the structured data, such as data in your ELN, but then you will also have the vast numbers of unstructured data files that are being generated by all of this automated instrumentation that labs now use. Typically these files may be output in proprietary, non-standardized formats, and the data contained will first need to be parsed out before being put into a LIMS, or an ELN..…the trick is to link the two types of data appropriately”.
