Frequently Asked Questions

How does 1LIMS improve sample management in the lab?

1LIMS streamlines sample management by centralizing all sample information and automating routine tasks. It allows laboratories to track each sample’s lifecycle from submission to results, reducing the time spent on data entry and minimizing errors. By providing one intuitive dashboard for all sample orders and statuses, 1LIMS gives lab managers full control and real-time visibility over sample workflows.

Can 1LIMS handle sample tracking throughout the entire lifecycle?

Yes. 1LIMS is designed to track samples through every stage of the testing lifecycle, from initial receipt to final disposition. Each sample gets a unique identifier (with a QR or barcode label) so that with a quick scan, users can pull up the sample’s complete history. This ensures full traceability and makes it easy to audit who handled the sample and when at every step.

Does 1LIMS generate labels and IDs for laboratory samples?

Absolutely. 1LIMS can automatically generate unique identifiers and print QR/barcode labels for samples and other lab items. By labeling samples with scannable codes, the system makes it easy to log and retrieve sample data. Scanning a sample’s code instantly brings up its details and status in 1LIMS, which saves time and prevents mix-ups in busy lab environments.

How does 1LIMS reduce sample analysis time from hours to minutes?

1LIMS accelerates sample processing by automating many manual steps. For example, it allows labs to capture all sample details (attachments, checklists, etc.) digitally in minutes and standardize test plans for each sample type. By eliminating back-and-forth spreadsheets and automating calculations, the platform significantly cuts down the time required to analyze and report on samples.

Can 1LIMS integrate with our existing systems for sample data entry?

Yes, 1LIMS integrates with various laboratory instruments and enterprise systems to automate data transfer. It can import sample data from Excel or other sources and connect with ERP systems to automatically create quality test orders from production orders. This integration eliminates the need for duplicate data entry, ensuring sample information flows seamlessly into the LIMS for faster processing and better data integrity.

How does 1LIMS help maintain data integrity in sample management?

1LIMS improves data integrity by reducing manual transcription and providing controlled workflows. All sample information is stored in one secure platform with version control for any changes. By automating data capture from instruments and using standardized digital forms, 1LIMS minimizes the risk of human error. Every action (like data edits or approvals) is recorded in an audit trail, ensuring that sample data remains accurate and traceable.

What if our lab handles a large volume of samples daily – can 1LIMS keep up?

Yes. 1LIMS is built to handle high sample volumes efficiently. With its centralized dashboard and powerful search filters, you can quickly find and prioritize orders even in a busy lab. The system’s automation features – such as batch importing of sample data and automated workflows – help labs manage large numbers of samples without losing track of details or slowing down, ensuring scalability as your throughput grows.
