AQ Manager LIMS - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

AQ Manager offers a powerful Full Web LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) combined with an advanced ELN (Electronic Laboratory Notebook) to help laboratories digitalize, secure, and optimize their activities. Designed to be ergonomic, intuitive, and highly adaptable, the solution supports laboratories providing services, performing quality control, or conducting research and development.

Many laboratories face recurring challenges that slow down their operations and limit growth. Common pains include: lack of traceability for samples and results, duplicate data entry that increases error risk, time lost in planning and communication, poor visibility on non-conformities and KPIs, and difficulties complying with ISO, GLP or GMP standards. AQ Manager LIMS and ELN directly address these issues while improving efficiency, collaboration, and compliance.

With AQ Manager LIMS, laboratories can manage internal and external test requests seamlessly. Requests can be generated automatically via ERP integration or programmed frequencies, or submitted on demand through a simplified portal. Each request is tracked with a complete audit trail, while alerts, certificates, and reports are generated and shared automatically.

The system provides planning and scheduling tools with a graphical drag-and-drop interface. Managers can assign staff and equipment in real time, while users access personal schedules synchronized with the mobile app for maximum flexibility.

Result management and calculation tools ensure accuracy. Results can be linked to non-conformities, while a built-in formula engine supports complex calculations, including historical averages and cross-sample comparisons. These can run automatically when entering results, in both the main application and the mobile app.

AQ Manager LIMS also integrates a CRM module to handle quotations, orders, and invoicing. Client requests can be converted directly into lab tests. Workflows are fully customizable, automating processes such as validation, purchase requests, or deviation management, with email notifications and alerts in case of delays.

The solution is designed for seamless integration with ERP systems, accounting tools, and laboratory instruments. Web services and import/export engines ensure smooth, bidirectional data flow across the IT landscape.

Mobility is another key asset. The mobile app allows technicians to scan barcodes or QR codes, open test requests, record results, and manage reagent or consumable stocks. Accessible at the bench, in the warehouse, or in the field, the app ensures real-time data capture.

Dynamic dashboards and reporting tools provide complete visibility over lab activities. Managers can monitor KPIs, analyze trends, and generate performance reports to support audits, decision-making, and continuous improvement.

The ELN module offers researchers and developers a modern, secure way to manage experimental data. With structured projects, versioning, and a full audit trail, the ELN ensures experiments are traceable, secure, and patent-ready. Signatures, timestamps, and access control guarantee GLP compliance, while collaboration features enable efficient knowledge sharing. Deployable on-premise or in the cloud, the ELN requires no local installation and works independently or in synergy with the LIMS.

AQ Manager provides more than software. Each project is supported by a comprehensive service package, including needs analysis, process consulting, on-site and remote training, and expert guidance on configuration and integrations. This ensures fast adoption, smooth change management, and long-term value.
