ELabLIMS - Your LIMS for Life

Overview:

Modern, Configurable Laboratory Information Management System

LabLynx LIMS is a powerful, modular Laboratory Information Management System designed to support laboratories of all types, sizes, and industries. LabLynx LIMS enables labs to manage samples, workflows, data, compliance, and reporting within a single, scalable solution—configured to match how your lab actually operates. LabLynx LIMS adapts to how laboratories operate today, while scaling to meet future needs without costly re-platforming.

LabLynx LIMS is purpose-built to support laboratories over the long term, offering a configurable, modular platform that adapts as operational, regulatory, and business needs evolve. Unlike rigid, one-size-fits-all systems, LabLynx enables laboratories to configure workflows, data models, and integrations without forcing disruptive system replacements or costly re-implementations. Backed by decades of laboratory informatics experience and deployed across commercial, government, academic, and regulated environments, LabLynx provides a stable, scalable LIMS platform designed to grow with the laboratory—delivering lasting value as a true “LIMS for Life.”

Security & Compliance

LabLynx LIMS is designed to support regulated laboratory environments by enforcing role-based access controls, segregation of duties, secure authentication (including optional SSO, SAML, and MFA), and encryption of data at rest and in transit. The system maintains comprehensive, immutable audit trails, along with electronic signatures, version control, and end-to-end chain of custody to protect data integrity. Validation-ready configurations, controlled change management, and traceable system activities support compliance with ISO/IEC 17025, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EPA, NELAC/TNI, CLIA, and related regulatory and accreditation frameworks, subject to customer configuration, SOPs, and operational use.

With the choice between local or cloud deployment, labs can maintain full control over their data infrastructure and access policies. And with LabLynx secure cloud hosting, you can rest assured that all data are fully backed up regularly and your IT infrastructure is fully secure and maintained.
