Can LIMS data be archived?
Yes. Using MSC-LIMS Archiving data can be moved from the production database to a read-only archive database. The MSC-LIMS front end software can attach an archive database so the full complement of screens, queries, reports, etc. can be used with archived data. The only limitation is that data in the production and archive databases can not be combined into a single LIMS report. However, the Excel interface could be used to combine data from production and archive databases if necessary.
