The article discusses the results of implementation of the laboratory information management system (LIMS) U-LAB, developed by the UralNIIstrom Institute and tested in the regional road sector. The system of quality control of asphalt-concrete road surfaces, road pavement structures and road-building materials in the construction, repair and maintenance of highways is presented, the role of independent laboratory control, engineering and scientifictechnical support, supervision of design decisions is defined. The content and advantages of using the U-LAB LIMS for organizing and improving the efficiency of laboratory quality control of highways and building materials, improving interaction between road management bodies, contractors, design and scientific organizations involved in road works are described. The program interface is shown, the results and technical and economic indicators of the implementation and operation of LIMS in the UralNIIstrom test center in 2020 are presented.

Laboratory Information Management

Summary Electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) are more accessible and reliable than their paper based alternatives and thus find widespread adoption. While a large number of commercial products is available, small- to mid-sized laboratories can often not afford the costs or are concerned about the longevity of the providers. Turning towards free alternatives, however, raises questions about data protection, which are not sufficiently addressed by available solutions. To serve as legal documents, ELNs must prevent scientific fraud through technical means such as digital signatures. It would also be advantageous if an ELN was integrated with a laboratory information management system to allow for a comprehensive documentation of experimental work including the location of samples that were used in a particular experiment. Here, we present OpenLabNotes, which adds state-of-the-art ELN capabilities to OpenLabFramework, a powerful and flexible laboratory information management system. In contrast to comparable solutions, it allows to protect the intellectual property of its users by offering data protection with digital signatures. OpenLabNotes effectively closes the gap between research documentation and sample management, thus making Open- LabFramework more attractive for laboratories that seek to increase productivity through electronic data management.
