Forensic Toxicology LIMS

Medical examiners, coroners, pathologists and law enforcement agencies expect consistently accurate reporting from their forensic toxicology laboratories — and they want the results fast. The LabLynx ELab LIMS for Forensic Toxicology is an informatics solution optimized for laboratories like yours, with integration and automation tools to reduce common errors and common workflows allowing your staff to adapt quickly to new testing procedures.

Forensic Toxicology LIMS with Workflow Management and Accurate Specimen Tracking

Forensic toxicology laboratories are tasked to analyze biological samples to identify and quantify the presence of alcohol, drugs, and other toxins. Medical examiners, coroners, pathologists, and law enforcement agencies expect accurate and consistent reporting from their forensic toxicology labs, and they want the results fast.

The LabLynx ELab laboratory information management system (LIMS) for forensic toxicology is an informatics software solution that is optimized for laboratories like yours. Not only does our ELab LIMS comes pre-configured with the features, assays, and workflows common to toxicology labs, but it also can be configured to meet your lab’s processes and requirements. Users have secure role-based access to only their areas of any given case or order, with full tracking of chain of custody. Barcoded labels, pre-populated fields, and automatically generated unique specimen IDs all help minimize transcription errors and maintain accuracy.

With the LabLynx ELab LIMS, you can cross-reference drugs and chemical codes with standard industry codes such as the Systemized Nomenclature of Medicine (SNOMED) and related units of measure. Automatically assign tests based on specimen type or any other criterion, complete with specific ranges and flags for “high” or ”low,” “not detected” (ND), quantitation level (QL), and other values included in your reporting automatically. Add as many notes as you need, quickly and easily.

A LIMS Software Solution Unique to Your Forensic Toxicology Lab

The LabLynx LIMS offers a wide variety of features that are focused on improving your forensic toxicology lab’s productivity, replacing manual processes, eliminating common pre-analytical errors, and growing your lab’s quality of service. Some of the LIMS’ features and benefits include:

Sample Receiving

Let LabLynx help you with one of the most time-consuming pre-analytical tasks. Improve your processes and get those samples entered quickly and accurately.

Barcoded Sample Management

Get your samples to the right place at the right time while also being able to track them from sample reception to reporting. Build your sample management around single sample tracking or group them into orders, while managing both in the same system.

Sample Set Up

Define characteristics of samples such as extraction type, priority, and evidence classification.

Batch Creation

Organize and conduct testing on large groups of samples at one time, terminating a sample at any step in the process or reworking a sample through the process.

Inter-Departmental Management

Manage all departments, agencies, facilities, and suppliers simultaneously based on your organizational structure.

Inventory Management

Track instrument performance to proactively identify issues. Ensure scheduled maintenance and calibration does not disrupt your lab’s operations.Manage your lab’s supplies by monitoring inventory levels, resource usage history, item re-ordering, and more.

Request Management

Track all internal and external requests by case.

Customized Reporting

LabLynx can help your lab build reports unique to your forensic DNA investigation using report templates.

Read-Only Audit Trails

Track lab activities with date/time stamps across all specimens to help prevent emerging issues or enable quick problem resolution.

Integrations

LabLynx can help your lab build reports unique to your forensic DNA investigation using report templates.Share your data securely while also streamlining your processes by integrating with instruments, electronic health records (EHRs), electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs), billing services, reference labs, and more. With support for HL7, ASTM, RS-232, and APIs, the LabLynx LIMS has you covered.

Document Hosting & Management

Store standard operating procedures (SOPs), training manuals and records, certifications, regulatory files, receipts, reports, and all your lab’s vital operations documents with the LIMS for easy access.
