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 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 operates.
QBench helps reduce manual work by connecting instruments, software, and other systems through file parsers and a robust API. These integrations can automate data transfer, reduce repetitive data entry, and lower the risk of transcription errors.
Key capabilities include sample and workflow management, configurable workflows and custom fields, workflow automation, instrument and system integrations, file parsing, API connectivity, inventory management, client portals, automated reporting, analytics, and integrated Quality Management System (QMS) capabilities.
QBench is designed to adapt as laboratory processes change. Teams can modify workflows, fields, and automations without relying heavily on custom development.
As a cloud-based platform, QBench brings laboratory data, workflows, automation, quality management, and reporting into one centralized system. Customers are also supported by a team that includes former bench scientists who understand laboratory workflows and provide guidance during implementation and ongoing use.

Apache Xalan
The Apache Xalan Project is responsible for creating and managing libraries and applications that convert XML documents through the use of XSLT standard stylesheets. Our various subprojects employ Java and C++ programming languages to develop the XSLT libraries. In April 2014, we released version 2.7.2 of Xalan-Java. Developers can download this latest version, Xalan-Java 2.7.2, for their projects. Ongoing development updates are available in our subversion repository. This recent release addresses a security vulnerability that was identified in version 2.7.1. Although the previous distributions of Xalan-J 2.7.1 can still be accessed through the Apache Archives, our project is considered mature and stable. Discussions regarding potential support for XPath-2 have been initiated, and we welcome your involvement in this significant overhaul of the library. You are encouraged to engage with us by following our progress and sharing your insights on the Java users and developers mailing lists, where your contributions would be greatly appreciated.

Apache Anakia
Anakia may be simpler to grasp than XSL while still offering comparable functionality. There's no need to wrestle with complicated <xsl:> tags; instead, you can focus on utilizing the provided Context objects, JDOM, and the straightforward directives from Velocity. Additionally, Anakia appears to deliver significantly faster performance than Xalan's XSL processor when generating web pages. For instance, it can produce 23 pages in just 7-8 seconds on a PIII 500mhz system running Win98 and JDK 1.3 with client Hotspot, whereas a similar setup using Ant's <style> task takes about 14-15 seconds, resulting in nearly double the speed. Anakia, designed to succeed Stylebook—which was originally used for creating consistent, static web pages—is particularly well-suited for documentation and project websites, exemplified by those hosted on www.apache.org and jakarta.apache.org. Although it is tailored for specific tasks, it sacrifices some of the additional capabilities found in XSL, making it an efficient choice for targeted web development needs. Ultimately, Anakia serves as an effective tool for those looking for simplicity without compromising essential features.
