A web based laboratory information system allows laboratories to operate without the constraints of locally installed infrastructure. Accessed through secure browsers, these systems provide centralized control over laboratory data, allowing real-time management of samples, tests, and reports from any authorized […]

A web based laboratory information system delivers core LIS capabilities—sample management, workflow configuration, result validation, and report distribution—through browser-based access. These systems eliminate local infrastructure and allow authorized users to access and act on lab data from any secure device. […]

Laboratory information management systems (LIMS) are used to control, document, and automate laboratory processes. Across clinical, pharmaceutical, environmental, and research settings, LIMS supports full sample lifecycle management—from accessioning through final reporting—while ensuring compliance with internal SOPs and external regulatory frameworks. […]

A basic laboratory information system manages essential sample processing tasks—order entry, specimen tracking, result validation, and report generation. It eliminates manual errors, enforces standard operating procedures (SOPs), and ensures traceability of every action performed in the lab. Whether deployed in […]

The most common laboratory information system delivers consistent performance, regulatory compliance, and workflow automation across clinical, pathology, and public health labs. While feature sets may vary, all LIS platforms must handle sample ordering, test result tracking, quality control, and final […]

Blood bank software vendors develop specialized LIS modules that enforce regulatory compliance, ensure donor-recipient safety, and maintain traceability across the blood supply chain. Unlike general-purpose LIS platforms, blood bank systems must support serologic testing, crossmatch workflows, donor eligibility checks, inventory […]

A laboratory information system (LIS) is the digital infrastructure that supports clinical laboratory operations, from order entry to final result reporting. While often conflated with LIMS, LIS software is purpose-built for diagnostic workflows and integrates directly with EHRs, billing systems, […]

Laboratories often default to Excel, which does not make it a LIMS. Spreadsheets lack native audit trails, secure user management, role-based access, sample traceability, and automated workflows—requirements defined in FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and ISO/IEC 17025. Is Excel a […]

Who uses a LIMS? Anyone responsible for managing, analyzing, or reporting laboratory data interacts with a laboratory information management system. This includes bench technologists, laboratory supervisors, quality assurance officers, IT administrators, and regulatory compliance staff. LIMS software is not exclusive […]

A laboratory information system (LIS) is the backbone of clinical testing operations. It orchestrates the full diagnostic workflow—from order entry through result reporting—across microbiology, hematology, pathology, and molecular diagnostics. An example of a high-functioning LIS is a web based laboratory […]
