Laboratory information management system LIMS
Software & technology · O*NET
Laboratory information management system LIMS is a software tool tracked in the Analytical or scientific software category of O*NET's Technology Skills file. It appears in the technology profile of 18 occupations that together employ about 1,290,490 workers, with a median wage of $92,695.
Across the occupations that use it, the work is 70th percentile for AI task-exposure (High) — how much of what those jobs do overlaps with what today's AI can attempt. That measures the exposure of the work, not the value of the tool or any sign it is being replaced. See where every tool category sits →
