ABSTRACT
Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is an information management tool that combines modern management concepts with database-centric computer technology. At present, LIMS has been widely used in a number of laboratories at home and abroad. Exploring LIMS in the TCM research laboratory design ideas can help the TCM research laboratory informatization and modernization. Therefore, this article from the analysis on the characteristics of TCM research laboratories, put forward to the design idea of TCM research laboratories LIMS of setting research business processes and experimental business processes as the main body, with two kinds of business process interactions as a supplement; expounded the significance of implementation of TCM research laboratories LIMS to enhance the level of laboratory management, data reliability and work efficiency;discussed the problems that should be paid attention to in the implementation process.
