Frequently Asked Questions

Can 1LIMS integrate with our laboratory instruments?

Yes, 1LIMS is compatible with a wide range of laboratory instruments. It can directly capture data output from instruments via API connections, serial interfaces, or by importing instrument files. This means test results or readings from equipment can flow automatically into the LIMS without manual transcription, reducing errors and saving time. By integrating instruments, 1LIMS ensures that your lab data from devices is consolidated and immediately usable in the system.

Does 1LIMS connect with ERP or MES systems?

Absolutely. 1LIMS offers integration with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to create a seamless information flow between the lab and the rest of your business. For example, when an ERP generates a new raw material order, 1LIMS can automatically create a corresponding quality test order. Likewise, once test results are finalized in 1LIMS, they can be sent back to the ERP or MES. This connectivity eliminates duplicate data entry and ensures that departments like production and quality are always in sync.

What external systems can 1LIMS connect with?

1LIMS is designed to be integration-friendly. It can connect to various external systems including ERP/MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), Quality Management Systems (QMS), document management systems, as well as external contract labs and supplier/customer portals. It also supports integration with business intelligence tools for advanced data analysis. These integrations allow 1LIMS to act as a central hub for lab data, ensuring information is consistently updated across all platforms you use.

How does 1LIMS handle data from external service labs?

1LIMS provides tools to manage sending samples to external labs and receiving results back in a structured way. You can create external test orders directly from 1LIMS, often via built-in interfaces to partner labs or by generating an export. When the external lab completes testing, their results can be imported or integrated back into your 1LIMS system. The platform will validate and store those external results alongside your internal data, giving you a complete picture. This approach simplifies outsourcing tests while maintaining traceability and data integrity for all results.

Is 1LIMS compatible with our current lab equipment and software?

Yes. 1LIMS is built to work with your existing lab equipment and software ecosystem. For modern instruments and systems, it offers direct integration capabilities (APIs, etc.), and for older equipment, data can be uploaded via files or even manually with verification steps. The LIMS supports common data formats like CSV, Excel, and XML for import/export, making it easier to exchange information with legacy systems. Essentially, whether your lab tools are new or old, 1LIMS can be configured to communicate with them, ensuring a smooth transition to a more integrated lab environment.

Can we import and export data easily with 1LIMS?

Yes, 1LIMS provides robust import and export functionality. You can import data from spreadsheets (Excel/CSV) into the system to quickly populate sample lists, test results, or master data. Similarly, any data stored in 1LIMS can be exported in common formats, which is useful for sharing results or doing further analysis in other tools. The platform also supports scheduled automatic imports/exports for labs that need regular data exchange between systems. This flexibility ensures that your lab’s information doesn’t get stuck in silos and can move freely as needed.

What integration support or services are provided with 1LIMS?

1LIMS offers an open RESTful API and expert integration services to help connect the LIMS with other systems. If you have the technical resources, you can use the API documentation to develop custom integrations on your own. Alternatively, the 1LIMS team can assist with or fully handle custom integration projects, connecting the LIMS to specific instruments, databases, or software unique to your workflow. This ensures that even complex or bespoke integration requirements can be met so that all your lab data sources communicate effectively.
