QBench is a cloud-based Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) designed to help laboratories manage samples, workflows, data, inventory, reporting, quality processes, and client interactions in one platform.
Labs use QBench to manage laboratory operations from order placement and sample processing through results and automated reporting. The platform is highly configurable, allowing laboratories to build workflows, define custom data fields, and automate processes around the way their lab already operates.
QBench also helps laboratories reduce manual work by connecting instruments, software, and other systems through file parsers and a robust API. These integrations can automate data transfer between systems, reducing repetitive data entry and the risk of transcription errors. Labs can connect QBench to business intelligence tools, including Tableau, Power BI, Domo, and Looker, via REST API.
Key QBench capabilities include:
Sample and workflow management
Configurable laboratory workflows and custom data fields
Workflow automation
Instrument and system integrations
File parsing and API connectivity
Inventory management
Client portal access
Automated reporting
Analytics and operational insights
Business intelligence integrations with Tableau, Power BI, Domo, and Looker via REST API
Integrated Quality Management System (QMS) capabilities
Unlike LIMS platforms that require extensive custom development to accommodate laboratory processes, QBench is designed to be configurable and adaptable as workflows change. Laboratories can modify processes, fields, and automations without relying heavily on custom code.
QBench is cloud-based, giving laboratory teams secure access to their LIMS while bringing laboratory data, workflows, automation, quality management, and reporting together within a centralized platform.
QBench also supports customers with a team that includes former bench scientists who understand laboratory workflows and can provide guidance throughout implementation and ongoing use.
