Introduction to Management of Laboratory Data: A Tutorial Approach Using Borland's Paradox Relational Database

By C.N. Hegarty

This book introduces chemists, laboratory supervisors and laboratory managers to the use of a relational database for the management of analytical data and gives detailed step-by-step instructions to lead the reader through the process of designing a simple functional Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). No previous knowledge of a programming language is assumed, or is necessary, to make use of the invaluable information and guidance provided. This book will be of particular value to the functional analytical laboratory which does not have the support of a computer department or where funds are not available to invest in a commercial PC-based package. It leaves the reader in a position to modify the modules created in this text or to design and code new modules to meet the specific needs of his own laboratory. A free 3.5" disk is included with the book and gives an extensive demonstration of the database features.
