LabLynx One: Built Around Solutions, Not Functionality

What Is LabLynx One?#

LabLynx One is the LabLynx platform. Everything we build now lives on it.

LabLynx LIMS and LabLynx ELN are part of LabLynx One. They sit on the same dashboard as instrument management, document control and training, and your team opens them from there. If your laboratory needs the depth of a full LIMS, you get it inside LabLynx One. You don’t buy a different system.

If you run LabLynx LIMS or LabLynx ELN today, nothing is taken away. You keep the system you run. You can add LabLynx One solutions and applications, such as instrument management and training, just like a new client. We are not retiring your system.

One company. One platform. You don’t have to start over to move forward.

Start With a Solution That Already Works#

LabLynx One is built around ready-to-use solutions for specific types of laboratory work.

A water testing laboratory starts with a water testing solution. A used oil laboratory starts with a used oil analysis solution.

You don’t start from scratch.

Sample types, methods, limits, labels, reports, instruments, training, documents and client access are already built into the solution. Your team adjusts the terminology, limits, reports and other details to match the way your laboratory operates.

That changes the implementation dramatically.

Who Is LabLynx One Built For?#

LabLynx One is built for the laboratory between spreadsheets and a full LIMS.

Many small and medium-sized laboratories have the same problem.

They have outgrown spreadsheets, paper, binders and disconnected applications. They need better control over samples, instruments, training, documents and client information.

But they may not need the cost, the complexity or the hundreds of features in a large enterprise LIMS.

LabLynx One fills that gap.

You get what your laboratory needs today, without buying more system than you will use. And you still have room to grow. You can add applications, teams and locations as your operation expands.

One Platform. One Set of Records. One History.#

Every LabLynx One solution runs on the same platform. Your laboratory gets one sign-in, one set of records and one history. Samples, instruments, training, documents and laboratory records are all managed in the same place.

Working groups operate as teams. Each team manages its own records, users, terminology and settings.

LabLynx One can be hosted by LabLynx or installed on your own infrastructure, including on-premises and air-gapped environments.

Licensing is different too. LabLynx One is licensed by team with unlimited users. Adding another analyst, student, auditor or client does not add another user license.

The history covers the whole system. Each change to a record captures who made it, when, and the previous value. Notebook entries keep their versions. Sign-ins, accounts and exports are logged. No one can turn the history off or edit it from inside the application, including an administrator. ISO/IEC 17025, 21 CFR Part 11 and MHRA data integrity guidance all describe this kind of audit trail.

Software by itself does not make a laboratory compliant. Your laboratory determines compliance through its own procedures and validation. LabLynx One gives you the records and the validation protocols that show how the system works.

What Does "Running in Days or Weeks" Really Mean?#

It means your first real samples move through the system early in the implementation, instead of waiting for the end of a long configuration project.

With a traditional implementation, you define every sample type, method, limit, label and report before the system is ready for real laboratory work.

LabLynx One reverses that.

Your team logs into a solution designed for your type of laboratory. The basic structure is already there. You spend your implementation time adjusting the system to your operation instead of building it from scratch.

Validation follows the same approach. LabLynx supplies installation, operational and performance qualification protocols, with a test script for each numbered requirement. Your team executes and signs those protocols against a system that already works.

Training is easier for the same reason. Your people learn their work in software that already looks like their laboratory.

What Does It Look Like in a Real Laboratory?#

Take a municipal water laboratory.

Samples arrive and are logged into the water testing solution. Each bottle gets a label tied to its record. Results are reviewed against the right methods and limits. Reports are generated and signed. Clients check progress through the client portal. Instrument records and calibration histories are in the same system.

The laboratory doesn’t build any of this from scratch. It starts with water testing and adjusts the solution to fit its operation.

A used oil laboratory works the same way. Samples from engines and gearboxes are checked against alarm limits and historical trends. Analysts review the results, and maintenance recommendations go out in branded reports built from the same records.

Different laboratories. Different solutions. One platform underneath them all.

Is LabLynx One Right for Your Laboratory?#

LabLynx One was built for laboratories that know they need something better but have held off on a traditional LIMS. Take a look if:

If that sounds familiar, LabLynx One may be the laboratory system you have been waiting for.

You don’t have to begin with a blank system.

You don’t have to spend months turning generic software into laboratory software.

And you don’t have to buy an enterprise LIMS just to get control of your laboratory information.
