LIMS and sample management

Laboratories often struggle to process more samples while maintaining turnaround time and keeping down costs. Traditional labour intensive laboratory management systems limit laboratory output.

Because QBCon's LIMS offering Lab-i is customised around the unique needs of your laboratory, Lab-i can be easily integrated with your laboratory's existing systems. Integration ensures very little disruption to your laboratory processes, while automating labour intensive tasks.  

By replacing your traditional paper-based management system with a LIMS, your laboratory can speed up production. Data retrieval no longer involves going through filling cabinets. Employees can access vast amounts of information on the LIMS database easily.

Database access allows for faster reporting. These reports help laboratory staff to identify samples by date, test, customer, data trends, costs, outstanding tests and sample turnaround. It gives a better understanding of the laboratory's activities. These reports help laboratories identify and rectify production setbacks.

Often multiple analysts perform different tests on one sample. Keeping track of which analyst handled each sample often creates an accountability issue. Bar code technology identifies the location of each sample at any given time, allowing management to keep track of which analyst handled the sample. Knowing exactly where each sample is also means laboratories can inform customers of the progress of their samples.

A successful laboratory delivers accurate, easily understandable results within a reasonable timeframe. Lab-i can help your laboratory achieve these elusive goals.
