In this episode, we unpack why cannabis and hemp labs are rapidly diversifying into food, nutraceuticals, environmental, and other regulated industries—and what that shift means for your workflows.

Based on Confident LIMS’ 2025 survey, you’ll learn:

• Why 39% of labs already test non-cannabis samples, with 26% more planning to

• Which industries labs expand into first, led by food & beverage and nutraceuticals

• How new matrices multiply assays—and why microbials appear at 100%

• What operational capabilities prevent diversification from becoming a compliance risk

In this episode, we ask a practical question for any regulated lab: what happens when your LIMS goes down for a day? Using findings from Confident’s 2025 user survey of customer labs in the U.S. and Canada, we unpack what “backbone-level” reliance looks like—and what capabilities make that trust possible.

Key takeaways you can apply during LIMS evaluation:

• Adoption across the business, not just the bench: usage spans Lab Team (43%), Leadership (25%), and Front Office (21%).

• Daily reliance is the norm: 89% of respondents use Confident every day for workflows like accessioning, result review, COAs, and client communication.

• Tenure signals “system-of-record” status: 82% have used Confident for more than a year, and 40% for over three years.

• Dependability is built on three pillars: compliance-ready workflows, deep integrations, and a client experience that keeps results moving.

In this episode, we break down why laboratory inventory management is a compliance requirement—not just an operational task—and how modern LIMS inventory tools help analytical labs stay audit-ready. If you’ve ever scrambled for calibration certificates, lot numbers, or expiration dates when auditors arrive, this conversation is for you.

Key takeaways include:

• Why inventory traceability matters for ISO/IEC 17025, GMP, and regulated testing environments
• How centralized records, automatic audit trails, and linked documentation reduce audit risk
• Practical ways to track calibration, maintenance, expirations, and item lifecycle status at scale
• How better inventory visibility supports daily efficiency (avoiding stockouts, recalls, and testing delays)
