•We outline the automation methods and data management of a LIMS.•We explain the interfacing with Genie2K™ and EFFTRAN.•We discuss the automation of efficiency transfer and true summing correction.•Potential for human error is strongly reduced by introducing a LIMS.
We developed a Microsoft® Access-based LIMS (Laboratory Information and Management Systems), γ-LIMS, for the management of our gamma-spectrometry laboratory, in which thousands of routine, but high-quality analyses are performed each year. This paper explains the main features of the γ-LIMS and puts special attention on the interfacing methods and solutions for using the Genie™2000 spectrometry software in conjunction with the EFFTRAN package, which serves for efficiency transfer calculations, coincidence summing corrections and a procedure for uncertainty estimation.
