dc.descriptionThis paper expounds on the development and actual implementation of an integrated Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) at an Abu Dhabi Gas (ADGAS) company in the United Arab Emirates. During the course of the project, it went through the following stages: definition, development, testing/validation, approval, and deployment. The LIMS application uses a client/server model, in which the database residing on an SQL server is accessed by client software from remote workstations that manipulate and return the data. Thus, the ADGAS local area network provides communication between the computers
dc.description.abstractThis paper presents an integrated Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), which was developed and implemented for a gas manufacturing and distribution company operating in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. Specifically, LIMS was developed for all the analytical areas available in the ADGAS laboratory, including the marketable products (LNG, propane, butane, paraffinic naphtha sulfur, and crude oil), lube oil, water, raw materials, gases, and other products/services. Ever since it was launched in January 2008, routine testing schedules are generated every morning automatically, and the data files generated by the major instruments are automatically transferred. Complicated downstream calculations are also performed automatically. The sample life cycle goes through steps such as entry of variables, calculations, data control, and validation of results. Keywords: Information, Laboratory, Management; System, UAE
