Forensic Science pertains to the area of study wherein things are investigated for legal purposes. The research is laid in Laboratories to provide testimony to the evidences that are an outcome of a particular case or matter.

 

The present scenario demands forensic Labs that are hi-tech and use advanced technology for a speedy validation of the matter. Forensic studies can be a never-ending stream.

 

Some of the major streams of Forensics are:

 

Forensic geology Forensic pathology Forensic toxicology Forensic odontology Forensic psychology Forensic engineering

Forensic archaeology Forensic entomology Forensic meteorology Forensic anthropology Ballistic fingerprinting Forensic identification

 

MegaLims Laboratory Information Management System for Forensic Labs

MegaLims understands the critical nature of researches followed in Forensic Lab. That is why the system works in coordination with the Labs to fit all the requirement of forensics sciences. MegaLims Lab Information Management System deals smartly and efficiently in forensic operations and work-flows. MegaLims helps forensic Labs identify and investigate their workflow through an automated and standardized process.

The MegaLims software module turns a forensic Lab into a technologically advanced system. Not only does this LIMS software automate and streamlined the Laboratory but also enables the flow of the researches to become self moving and swift for every process and step involved.

 

Advantages of using MegaLims:

Forensic Labs require authentication and validation at every step. This is because they are responsible for laying researches to provide accurate proofs. A slight carelessness or mechanical error could be dicey. MegaLims recognizes and understands these facts and realities associated with forensic Labs. Therefore, it works parallel to various regulatory compliances such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance , GCP_ICH to proffer the best results.

 

The major benefits of using MegaLims in Forensics are-

 

Management

 

Management involves the most tricky decision and practical strategies. MegaLims Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) module has been prepared keeping in view all the complexities that are involved in the Laboratory operation.

 

MegaLims focuses on four organizational management concerns of Lab operation:

 

• Inventory & Logistics Management of Evidences
• Database & Sample testing Management with Barcodes
• Regulatory Compliance on par with global standards
• Installation & Lims implementation in Lab operation

Maintenance

 

The maintenance of Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is the prior concern of the MegaLims software module. MegaLims robust and user-friendly features for Lab maintenance flow has been sophisticatedly designed to be efficient for all kind of maintenance work in Laboratories.

 

MegaLims helps maintain all variations of chores in Lab operations such as:

 

• Result Entries of Catalog images of evidence, crime scenes and other relevant items
• Certificate of Analysis to all the evidence tested and experimented upon
• Database Management & Task Scheduler
• Report formation & tracking of the status of individual or multiple cases
• Sample preservation with Case Creation Activity

 

Regulatory Compliance

 

On lines with ISO 9001:2000 standards, MegaLims always complies with the Regulatory compliance as per Global Standards. It always keeps a check on operations and standards in Laboratories in regards with whether or not they are carried out as per FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance and GCP (Good Clinical Practices). Only after their verification does MegaLims issue any testing or process Certificate of Analysis (COA).
