FreshLIMS overview

What is FreshLIMS?

FreshLIMS is a cloud LIMS for independent UK diagnostic laboratories, with a connected clinic app (FreshLIMS Connect) that shares the same patient and sample record. It is built around ISO 15189-aligned workflows and runs in the browser, with hosting, backups, security patching and upgrades included.

Lab Platform functions

- Sample lifecycle: order intake, accessioning, aliquots, batches, retests and tube storage locations

- Disciplines: clinical chemistry, microbiology with AST, molecular/PCR, serology, genetics and sequencing

- QC: live Westgard rules on Levey-Jennings charts, QC lots, violations and one-click investigations, plus patient-result look-back after a failed QC run

- Results: reference ranges, panic-value and delta alerts, reflex and cascade rules, review and e-signature with optional second-person sign-off, and a critical-result phone-call gate before release

- Reporting: versioned PDF reports, amended reports with recorded reasons, and turnaround-time monitoring per test with overdue orders listed

- Quality records: calibration, maintenance and EQA records with automatic result holds, reagent and calibrator lot register with lot-to-lot acceptance, and SOP document control

- Send-outs to reference labs and import of antibiotic breakpoint tables
