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.
