Frequently asked questions
What is a forensic LIMS?
It is a laboratory information management system designed for forensic work. Beyond samples and results, it controls the chain of custody, staff authorization and the traceability an expert report needs in court.
Does VerumLims work for every discipline?
Yes. The core system is not tied to one discipline; each laboratory configures its protocols, tests, evaluation rules and report templates from within the application.
How does it guarantee the chain of custody?
Every transfer, handling and access to an evidence item is stored in an immutable record with user, date and time, and the final report is signed electronically with a time stamp.
Does VerumLims help with ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation?
It is designed to meet the operational requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and the ALCOA+ principles. Accreditation is granted to the laboratory by the accreditation body; VerumLims provides the records and traceability that support it.
Can it be configured without programming?
Yes. Protocols, tests, catalogs and templates are configured in the application with no code; the analytical forms that support accreditation remain under the vendor's control.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. It is installed on the institution's infrastructure and laboratory data never leaves it.
