In today’s business environment, companies continuously work to improve marketing, production, and services strategies to produce better products or to provide more efficient services at a lower cost while improving or maintaining quality. Implementing a Laboratory Information Management System provides access and integration of quality data that lead to increased productivity, better product quality, improves data access, and better customer service.
LabPlus is a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) designed to help manage analytical and quality assurance work effectively.
LabPlus manages samples, analysis results, does simple and complex calculations and produces reports. It also manages data transfers and tracking, analytical workload, and outside service contracts for analytical work. It reduces the turnaround time of your analytical workload while providing rigorous sample and results data treatment.
The specification monitor module makes automatic verifications to ensure that analysis results conform to products standards and specifications, allowing you to react rapidly.
The LabPlus Base system is a full-featured LIMS. Other functional modules can be used, according to your needs: sample planner, specification monitor, supply manager, etc.
Entirely designed for the Windows environment, LabPlus is easy to learn and use. Because it is a client-server application and ODBC compliant, LabPlus is easily integrated into enterprise information systems.
LabPlus was created by laboratory professionals dedicated to providing expert solutions in laboratory and system environments. This constitutes a guarantee of effective and rapid LabPlus implementation, as well as expert technical support.
By increasing productivity, LabPlus helps business to be more competitive with improved customer service ans product quality, ultimately contributing to the business success.
Developed in conjunction with industry leaders, LabPlus, with its features, its modern technology, and simplicity of use, adapts itself easily to the specific needs of the laboratory.
Sample Management LabPlus tracks samples from manual or automatic log-in to archiving. Thus, saving time and eliminating transcription errors thorough the life cycle of the sample. LabPlus identifies samples (with or without bar code labeling), classifies, ensures follow-up, plans analytical workload, and tracks sample information remarks and comments. Data is securely archived, along with the modifications that occurred throughout the cycle, in order to maintain the chain of custody.
Management of Results LabPlus validates results entry after sample analysis. It verifies conformity to client and product specifications and to laboratory control and detection limits. It executes all the calculations, simple or complex, necessary to obtain the result, thereby minimizing risks of calculation errors. Also, LabPlus ensures the results chain of custody.
Workload Management The system manages analytical workload by generating worklists automatically or manually; hence, optimizing resources and personnel utilization.
Reports Management LabPlus produces reports instantly on demand. It is delivered with standard reports that can be readily used. Custom reports can also be added to LabPlus. It prints certificate of analysis (COA) and integrates personalized forms for different laboratory reporting requirements.
Analytical Instrument Integration It is possible to interface LabPlus with analytical apparatus in order to minimize manual data entry while maintaining results validation.
Data Transfer and Data Acquisition In industrial environment, LabPlus can easily interface to your plant real-time systems and transmit, without delay, analysis results to the operating personnel.
Because of its client-server architecture, LabPlus can become the quality data warehouse for the plant, allowing enterprise wide use of the quality data in a scalable, open, and flexible environment.
Designed for Windows, LabPlus benefits from the ease of use provided by the Windows technology. Your technicians will begin to use LabPlus from the very day of its implementation.
LabPlus is offered in a multi-user version that includes local and remorte access capabilities, allowing results access or sample log-in, even away from the laboratory.
LabPlus is an ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) compliant application. It can be accessed easily in heterogeneous environments.
In addition to LabPlus basic LIMS functionality, LabPlus is shipped with functional modules that are designed for the management of various tasks. Listed below are the functional modules of LabPlus.
Sample Planner This module is used to manage automatic sample login. Sampling schedules can be prepared for each product, sampling point and production unit configured in the system. Read More ...
The LinkPlus-ActiveX toolkit take the functionality of this module a step further, by activating sampling plans and product changes from external applications or in response to events.

Laboratory Supplies Manager This module manages the consumption, purchase and inventory of laboratory supplies.
Analytical Instrument Maintenance Manager This module enables you to list every analytical equipment in your laboratory, along with spare parts, and keep track of the maintenance, restoration and calibration performed on the equipment.
Product Specifications This module can manage specifications for products, raw materials and intermediate products and even be used to monitor regulatory emission prescriptions. It enables you to record the start date, the recipe and applications as well as values for the specifications applicable.
Specifications Monitor Built as an alarm device, the specifications monitor keeps track of the values entered in LabPlus and indicates any deviation from the specifications by logging an event. This event can be reviewed, acknowledged, and corrective actions as well as causes recorded.
Invoicing This optional module is designed for laboratories that sell analytical services. It manages quotations, pricing offers and the invoicing process. It can also be interfaced with your accounting system, offering an integrated solution that will help you maximize income and minimize invoicing delay.
