CloudLIMS overview

What is CloudLIMS?

CloudLIMS is a web-based sample management solution which enables biobanks, research organizations, clinical labs, pharmaceuticals and hospitals to track and manage samples and freezer locations with virtual storage location mapping, barcode scanning, data import/export, and more. As a web-based solution, CloudLIMS allows users to access sample data anytime, anywhere, via any internet-enabled device, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobiles.

CloudLIMS supports a range of features, like service and billing management, a client portal, study management, inventory management, sample lifecycle management, and more. The client portal gives users a central place from which to add and request samples, and download test reports and invoices.

CloudLIMS enables users to manage the entire sample lifecycle, from sample accessioning and batch editing to sample tracking and sample genealogy management. Users can manage multiple sample sources, from animals, food and plants, as well as humans. CloudLIMS allows users to create and define hierarchical storage units, view storage inventory graphically, import test results, and generate custom reports. Other CloudLIMS features include HIPAA compliance, audit trail, validated electronic signatures, document management, and more.

Key benefits of using CloudLIMS

Sample Management: Register samples in batches. You can scan barcodes to quickly import samples, and track samples using barcodes, giving you complete traceability, from accessioning to storage to testing to disposal.

Patient Management: Seamlessly manage patient records and their demographics, consent, clinical history as per the Institutional Review Board (IRB) guidelines and regulatory requirements.

Test Management: Manage laboratory tests, automate the calculation of complex test results, and track turnaround time. You can configure flagging sets to automatically flag out-of-specification results. You can generate professional custom test reports or Certificates of Analysis (CoAs) for servicing your clients.

Follow Regulatory Compliance: Follow ISO/IEC 17025:2017, GLP, FSMA, HACCP, GMP, 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, CLIA, ISO 15189:2012, EU GDPR, state and local regulations with ease.

Manage Documents: Manage documents, such as SOPs, track the revision history of documents, and ensure document control. CloudLIMS helps ensure that laboratory staff refers only to the latest version of documents.

Manage Staff Training: Manage training and competency records of laboratory personnel and regularly monitor their performance for quality assurance. This helps laboratory managers to assign tasks only to the personnel with appropriate training, competency, and experience to perform them efficiently.

Manage Instruments: Manage records of analytical instruments, schedule instrument calibration, and perform preventive maintenance. CloudLIMS helps you maintain calibration and maintenance results, and records of functional checks performed before use.

Manage Workflows: You can configure workflow templates using a series of steps to mirror your laboratory workflows. This functionality enforces the staff to follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) as per the laboratory guidelines.

Services and Billing Management: Manage laboratory services, such as test requests, and create catalogs with defined pricing for each service offered by your laboratory. You can automate the processing of service requests once they are placed by your customers from the client portal. Furthermore, you can also generate invoices or import invoices generated using any third-party billing software in CloudLIMS.

Client Portal: Enable your collaborators to enter or upload samples in a batch, place test requests for multiple samples, attach notes, and download invoices. Your customers can import patient records and associate them with samples in just a few clicks. It is also possible to customize the login page of the client portal to offer a personalized experience to your customers.

Manage Customers
Seamlessly manage an unlimited number of customers along with their name, contact information, and mailing address. You can create a customer group and add multiple customers under the same group, enabling your customers to share their data with colleagues for better organization-wide coordination.

Manage Inventory: Manage laboratory inventory, such as reagents, standards, testing kits, and consumables. You can track the use of inventory items and set up alerts for the replenishment of inventory when the stock falls below a certain level or quantity.

Package & Shipment: Track all shipments right from the origin to the destination to avoid misplacing samples. You can assign a unique ID to each incoming and outgoing shipment, associate each shipment with samples, and then check-in the incoming samples or remove the ones shipped out.

Study Management: Manage various studies and associate each study with samples, patients, and generate custom study reports.

What do users say about CloudLIMS?

We setup a brand new laboratory in Tazania and we were looking for a user-friendly LIMS that can support our needs as well as be affordable for us starting a small lab. Since we had strict regulatory requirements we needed to make sure we found a LIMS that has ISO 15189 certifications as well as HIPAA.
