ONE Lab LIMS
Digitalize all processes related to samples, tasks, and instruments.
More Than Just LIMS
With the laboratory being at the heart of every science-based organization, companies need to ensure smooth and efficient lab operations that are compliant with the different local and global regulations. While regulatory compliance and error reduction were the main drivers for the development of the first Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), current requirements demand a more modern and agile approach to laboratory supporting systems than the large monolithic systems of the past.
BIOVIA ONE Lab digitalizes the processes related to the management of samples, laboratory tasks, studies and instrument metrology. ONE Lab integrates these systems and instruments together, leveraging a single data model, and automates the capture and transfer of data across lab operations and beyond. This unique architecture enables ONE Lab to take the place of a traditional LIMS solution, while also adding an integrated procedure execution layer.
Integrated Procedure Execution
BIOVIA ONE Lab digitalizes and integrates all of the data and processes in the lab, so that guided procedure execution is a seamless part of scientist's daily workflows. Test procedures are at your fingertips, with configurable tolerances, simple step-wise execution, and direct data capture.
Automated Review-by-Exception removes time-consuming manual approvals, accelerating batch release and increasing QC lab efficiency.

FAQ about Laboratory Information Management System - LIMS
A LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is a software platform designed to manage and streamline laboratory operations. It helps labs track samples, manage data, automate workflows, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. LIMS systems are commonly used in scientific and industrial labs to improve efficiency, enhance data accuracy, and support collaboration across different departments and locations.
LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is a software solution designed to manage lab workflows, sample tracking, data management, and compliance. TIMS (Test Information Management System) is typically focused on managing and tracking information related to testing processes, often in specific industries like manufacturing or quality assurance. While LIMS is more comprehensive for laboratory environments, TIMS is specialized for managing test-related data.
