A cloud-based Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is designed to oversee sample tracking, test outcomes, and inventory management specifically for life sciences research, industrial quality control laboratories, and biotechnology/next-generation sequencing applications. This comprehensive system provides essential regulatory compliance support for standards such as CLIA, HIPAA, Part 11, and ISO 17025, ensuring that laboratories operate within the necessary legal frameworks. The importance of quality, security, and traceability in managing samples cannot be overstated, as these factors play a pivotal role in a lab's effectiveness and reliability. Utilizing the Lockbox LIMS platform, laboratory professionals gain the ability to meticulously oversee their samples, offering complete transparency throughout the entire process, from initial accession to long-term preservation. Additionally, LIMS analysis encompasses far more than merely tracking outcomes; the Lockbox system features advanced multilayered sample storage capabilities and location management, allowing users to customize their laboratory's storage framework with diverse options that include rooms, storage units, shelves, racks, and boxes. This flexibility empowers labs to efficiently organize and access their samples, ultimately enhancing operational productivity and accuracy.

QBench is a cloud LIMS that gives testing laboratories one platform for samples, workflows, data, inventory, reporting, quality processes, and client interactions.
Every stage of lab operations runs through QBench, from order placement and sample processing to results and automated reporting. Because the platform is highly configurable, labs set up their own workflows, custom data fields, and automations to match how they already work, then adjust those settings as processes change without leaning heavily on custom code.
File parsers and a robust API link QBench with instruments, software, and other systems. Data moves between them automatically, which cuts down on repetitive entry and transcription errors. For deeper reporting, labs can connect QBench to Tableau, Power BI, Domo, and Looker via REST API.
Core features:
Sample and workflow tracking
Configurable workflows and custom fields
Automation
Instrument and system integrations
File parsers and API access
Inventory management
Client portal
Automated reporting
Analytics and operational insights
Tableau, Power BI, Domo, and Looker connectivity
Built-in Quality Management System (QMS)
Rather than requiring extensive custom development to fit a lab’s processes, QBench is designed to adapt, so changes to fields, processes, and automations stay in the lab’s hands.
Running in the cloud, QBench keeps lab data, workflows, quality management, and reporting secure and centralized. Former bench scientists on the QBench team help customers through implementation and ongoing use.

Streamlining sample management in the laboratory can effectively be achieved using Excel, a widely favored tool for the rapid documentation of sample information and their storage locations. One practical approach is to develop a Freezer spreadsheet that visually represents the layout of the freezer, indicating where each sample is situated within their designated boxes—this layout can often be printed out and displayed on the freezer door for easy reference. Alternatively, you could employ a sample template that provides detailed descriptions related to your lab's samples, including both their current and previous box placements. The implementation of pivot tables can significantly improve your capability to sift through data, thereby facilitating better sample management. However, maintaining precise and current records often proves to be a daunting task, increasing the chances of errors occurring. As the number of samples in your collection expands, the associated spreadsheets can become overwhelmed, leading to a more complex and less user-friendly environment. This situation can culminate in a disorganized freezer, where locating specific samples becomes a frustrating challenge. To combat these issues, it is vital to conduct regular reviews and updates of these records, ensuring the lab operates efficiently and that samples remain easily accessible. Adopting a systematic approach to data management can greatly enhance overall productivity in the lab setting.
