In the 21st Century, everyone operating in pharmaceutical or fine chemical QA/QC should be familiar with laboratory information management systems (LIMS). In pharma and contract research particularly, they are ubiquitous. In R&D, the picture is more complex but they are nevertheless commonplace.

These can be summarised as follows:
The use of Internet technologies
