LabLynx Lab Automation Suite: AI-assisted Used Oil Analysis Use Case
Used Oil Analysis DemoSummaryUsed Oil Analysis Laboratories perform tests on machine fluids to predict machine failure and preventative maintenance events. One of the key disciplines for used oil analysis is called Tribology. In this article we propose a techn...
The LabLynx ELN Suite: LIMS Without the Price Tag
Transforming Lab Workflows with ELNs: A Deep Dive into the LabLynx ELN SuiteIn today’s fast-evolving scientific landscape, labs of all sizes are turning to Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) to revolutionize how research is documented, shared, and managed. Whethe...
1. Introduction
This whitepaper provides a guide for laboratories and organizations seeking to leverage PowerBI to develop reports and dashboards using data from the LabLynx ELabLIMS platform by way of examples. ELabLIMS is an industry-leading laboratory information managemen...
2. System Architecture
The integration of ELabLIMS, SciForge, and PowerBI is designed to provide laboratories with secure, flexible, and scalable access to their data for advanced reporting and analytics. This section outlines the core components and how they interact to deliver a s...
3. Getting Started
This section provides guidance for connecting PowerBI to ELabLIMS via the SciForge GraphQL API, including prerequisites, authentication, and best practices for secure and efficient data access.PrerequisitesAccess to an ELabLIMS instance with SciForge enabledUs...
4. Data Access and Exploration
This section explains how to find and understand available data in ELabLIMS via the SciForge GraphQL API, provides example queries and mutations, and discusses how to map ELabLIMS data to PowerBI models. For full schema and endpoint documentation, visit the Sc...
5. Building Reports
This section provides step-by-step examples for building reports in PowerBI using SciForge data. Each example demonstrates a specific reporting scenario, including connector setup, credential management, M language integration, and data modeling. Additional ex...
6. Performance Considerations
Integrating ELabLIMS, SciForge, and PowerBI brings powerful analytics to laboratory operations, but it also introduces new performance challenges that must be addressed to ensure a smooth user experience and protect core systems. This chapter explores practica...
7. Extending and Customizing
One of the greatest strengths of the ELabLIMS and SciForge ecosystem is its adaptability. Laboratories are rarely identical in their workflows, data requirements, or reporting needs, and the ability to extend and customize the SciForge API is essential for sup...
8. Security and Management
Security and effective management are foundational to any laboratory informatics solution, and ELabLIMS with SciForge is no exception. As organizations increasingly rely on integrated reporting and analytics, safeguarding sensitive laboratory data and maintain...
9. Troubleshooting and Support
Even with careful planning and best practices, challenges can arise when integrating ELabLIMS, SciForge, and PowerBI. Fortunately, most issues encountered during setup or daily operation are well understood and can be resolved with a systematic approach and th...
Appendix A: Data Used for Examples
Examples in this article are generated using randomized data in a demonstration instance of ELabLIMS. Very little data was initially present. A PowerShell script was used with SciForge mutations. The script is shown below.# PowerShell script to populate 1000 G...
Introduction
This suite of training modules are meant to be a guide for SciForge developers to get familiar with the infrastructure and tools used for plugin development as they begin their development journey. Traditional API documentation lists out the available endpoint...
SciForge API: Prerequisites
IntroductionThis is the first in a series of training modules, intended to familiarize developers with the setup and usage of a development environment for the SciForge API. This API is most often used with the ELab LIMS, and so training focuses primarily on t...
SciForge API: Getting Started
Development takes place in a dockerized environment that is nearly identical to the production system. While it is possible to develop without docker, training covers the recommended approach. LabLynx developers generally must develop within the dockerized env...
SciForge API: Development Configuration
Video: Environment Configuration Example The configuration that is managed by the .env (environment) file, and a DNS address for the SciForge development environment, are the final aspects of setup that need to be completed in order for the development environ...
SciForge: Starting and Stopping Development
In training modules to this point, we have covered the setup of the development environment to include:Cloned all necessary codeSetup DNS addresses for Traefik and for the Sciforge development environmentSetup Traefik to reverse proxy the development APISetup ...
