Beside sample basic information like the sample ID and the storage position, several user defined information can be stored. Depending on your individual requirements it may be logistic papers, process information, patient information or any other data. Your storage location structure can be configured individually. Even the history of the storage is documented and formerly stored information is archived. The Lab OS® Sample DB Explorer is specialized on the management of sample storage and can be easily customized and integrated in existing LIMS, KIS, HIS.
Application Field: Management

External Systems and Instruments
Lab OS abstracts external data systems (LIS, HIS, other database..) as well as Instruments in an internal communication layer. Data Integration is possible as long as the others provide interfaces. Lab OS® itself provides a high level web services based interface.
Multi-Layer Architecture
Lab OS® has a multi-layer architecture consisting
- a database server at the core,
- different server to access the instruments or other systems and to provide the data to
- native clients and where necessary and sensible
- browser-based clients
Database Server
Lab OS® recommends the use of Microsoft SQL Server as database management system. The main database contains all the sample based data. Other connected databases for usermanagement and workflow management.
For small but high quality repositories Lab OS provides a solution without any external database, using a SQLite backbone.
Barcoding
Lab OS® is an ID based system and therefore supports almost every barcode scanner (HID) or RFID Scanner (125kHz/13,86MHz). 2D Rack scanner are supported and fully integrated by different manufacturer. Barcode printing is possible with every Printer providing a printer driver for the Windows system. The Barcode lables (formats/types) can be easily configured for the system.
System Requirements
The starting point can be a state-of-the-art office computer. As Lab OS® is a highly scalable system, the system requirements depend on your operational requirements: no. of sample, no. of persons to access the system...Please ask us to get more information.
Network configurations
Lab OS® can be configured to run in many different szenarios, from a single PC solution, over intra net networks up to multi-site use via VPN or partly internet. It depends on your needs. Please ask for a concrete plan for your needs.
Reporting
Lab OS® contains a comprehensive reporting mechanism, providing (electronical signed) PDF reports in all parts of the system. An Audit trail is maintained and available for every action on the data.
