About

QBench is a cloud-based Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) designed to help laboratories manage samples, workflows, data, inventory, reporting, quality processes, and client interactions in one platform. Labs use QBench to manage laboratory operations from order placement and sample processing through results and automated reporting. The platform is highly configurable, allowing laboratories to build workflows, define custom data fields, and automate processes around the way their lab already operates. QBench also helps laboratories reduce manual work by connecting instruments, software, and other systems through file parsers and a robust API. These integrations can automate data transfer between systems, reducing repetitive data entry and the risk of transcription errors. Labs can connect QBench to business intelligence tools, including Tableau, Power BI, Domo, and Looker, via REST API. Key QBench capabilities include: Sample and workflow management Configurable laboratory workflows and custom data fields Workflow automation Instrument and system integrations File parsing and API connectivity Inventory management Client portal access Automated reporting Analytics and operational insights Business intelligence integrations with Tableau, Power BI, Domo, and Looker via REST API Integrated Quality Management System (QMS) capabilities Unlike LIMS platforms that require extensive custom development to accommodate laboratory processes, QBench is designed to be configurable and adaptable as workflows change. Laboratories can modify processes, fields, and automations without relying heavily on custom code. QBench is cloud-based, giving laboratory teams secure access to their LIMS while bringing laboratory data, workflows, automation, quality management, and reporting together within a centralized platform. QBench also supports customers with a team that includes former bench scientists who understand laboratory workflows and can provide guidance throughout implementation and ongoing use.

About

SoftLinx™ Laboratory automation scheduling software is a powerful multitasking, dynamic scheduling software package for planning and running automated laboratory workcells. It is designed control all the instruments in an automated workcell. It makes the programming and operation of lab automation easy for lab personnel, yet flexible enough for custom modification by programmers. The SoftLinx lab automation scheduling software library includes software plug-ins for integrating over 200 instruments made by different manufactures into your lab workcell. The user interface includes a drag and drop flow chart-like interface which makes it easy to build a protocol that takes maximum advantage of your instrument configuration. Individual steps can be added, customized or removed, and series of independent or interdependent methods can be defined. Programming control can be added to introduce conditions to the flow of the protocol.
