The Latvian Biomedical Research and Study Centre (LBMC) stands as a leading scientific institution in Latvia, specializing in molecular biology and biomedicine. Established in 1993, it has transformed into a prominent scientific hub, conducting both fundamental and practical investigations across various domains such as molecular genetics, vaccine advancement, genomics, proteomics, cancer biology, immunology, biotechnology, stem cell biology, structural biology, and beyond.

Challenges

Before discovering our software, BMC encountered significant difficulties with their existing Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).

The ever-expanding volume of data overwhelmed their previous software, leading to inefficiencies and frequent bottlenecks. Managing their storage became increasingly challenging, and their workflow processes lacked the necessary organization. BMC urgently needed a more robust and elegant platform to streamline their data management and optimize their workflows.

Our software presented the perfect solution, seamlessly accommodating their growing data needs while enhancing overall efficiency and productivity. This transformation allowed BMC to focus on their core activities with renewed confidence and clarity. .

Solution

Our comprehensive solution addressed BMC's needs with three key products: DI-LIMS, DI-FREEZ, and DI-EDC.

  • DI-LIMS: provided superior workflow management, ensuring efficient and organized processes.
  • DI-FREEZ: revolutionized their freezer and storage management, allowing BMC to handle their expanding data storage requirements seamlessly.
  • DI-EDC : enhanced their data capture and consent management, making the entire process more efficient and reliable.

Implementation

LIMS implementation workflow for Latvia Biomedical Research Centre

The Latvia team meticulously planned and executed the implementation process for both general workflow and nurse-specific projects. They defined necessary columns for migration, ensuring only essential data was transferred, and provided files for a smooth migration. A request processing solution and storage organization were developed, followed by comprehensive testing. Final scripts were created for migrating data from Nautilus to the new system, with consent management as the last step.

In Latvia, they established a process covering everything from creating patient records to sample collection, including designing studies, shipping samples, managing consents, labeling tubes, and maintaining workflow. This thorough approach ensures a seamless transition and efficient operation within the new system.

Benefits gained by DiData

The added value of The implementation of DiData's solutions provided several significant benefits to the Latvian Biomedical Research and Study Centre (BMC):

Sample tracking

Enables full traceability across all processing stages, from a single biospecimen to multiple derivatives, with lineage tracking throughout genotyping and sequencing workflows.

Randomized Patient Codes

Automatically generates secure, study‑specific patient codes to preserve privacy, support hospital integration, and maintain traceability across all derived data and label reprints.

Data Security & Local Hosting

Deployed on local servers for maximum control, Di‑LIMS ensures compliance with GDPR and national data protection laws.

Automatic Backups

Built‑in encrypted incremental backups provide disaster recovery and data continuity with zero manual intervention.

Centralized Study Design

Unifies protocol setup across all studies with flexible configuration for visits, sample types, collection timelines, and project‑specific requirements.

Flexibility & Label Reprinting

Admins can instantly reprint corrected labels during collection or processing, preserving traceability even in clinical settings where real‑time corrections are essential.
