Automating instruments in the laboratory has created a demand for similar automation of information management systems, a need for speeding the turnaround of data and increased access to information resources. For this reason, the market for computer systems in the lab is a need-to-know area both for IT companies and diagnostic companies.

Laboratory information systems (LIS), also known as laboratory information management systems (LIMS), are data and information management systems designed specifically for industrial and medical-related laboratories. This report provides market analysis of suppliers competing in the LIMS market. The report also provides an overview of the industry and detail on important trends in the market including: middleware trends, the Abbott acquisition of Starlims, on-demand LIMS, user interface trends, managing genomics, among others.
