Thermo Fisher Scientific Announces Laboratory Informatics Symposium 2009 for
the Mining Industry in Brazil
Philadelphia (June 18, 2009) – Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the
world leader in serving science, will be hosting its two-day 2009 Laboratory
Informatics Symposium (LIS) on 18-19 August 2009 at the Caesar Business Belo
Horizonte in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The LIS 2009 will be of particular interest
for Mining Managers with responsibility for Quality, and Laboratory Managers who
supply analysis to the mining industry. Online registration for LIS 2009 is
available at http://events.signup4.net/lis09belohorizonte
The symposium will focus on the specific data management requirements of the
mining industry and will include presentations from leading mining services
organization Sao Paolo-based Interfusao, which is part of the Thermo Scientific
Global Partner Alliance (
www.interfusao.com.br ). Registration is free for the first day of the
symposium and a second training day is available at a fee for customers who are
using Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS and other Thermo Scientific
laboratory information management systems. During the first day of the
symposium, the program will address the role of laboratory information
management systems (LIMS) in the mining industry and will present international
case studies from the industry. Product breakout sessions will include a special
focus on the SampleManager LIMS implementation by the Brazilian-based company
RPM, a global mining operation focused on gold manufacturing. Topics will
include ISO 17025 requirements and the role of the LIMS in providing
documentation for compliance and audit trails related to ISO 17025 and similar
regulatory requirements and guidelines. Return on investment (ROI) and payback
studies will be also discussed and a roundtable session will allow attendees to
discuss LIMS implementation requirements common to the industry.
Of particular interest to existing LIMS users in the region, the second day of
the Laboratory Informatics Symposium will include an in-depth Thermo Scientific
SampleManager LIMS training session. All sessions will be delivered in English
and there will be translators for Spanish and Portuguese.
Laboratories in the mining industry are required to manage and analyze the vast
amount of data the mines produce in order to obtain faster results, improve
efficiencies and increase margins. In addition, they need to achieve
certification of end products and validated regulatory compliance, such as ISO
17025 and other regulatory guidelines. SampleManager LIMS significantly reduces
the time spent manually inputting data and calculating results, thereby
eliminating transcription errors. Sample analysis turnaround time is improved
and large datasets are analyzed rapidly for statistical quality control and
assurance. The LIMS provides the foundation for a complete laboratory automation
solution by integrating with instruments and laboratory and business systems,
including PIMS, MES and ERP solutions.
