How does Lockbox Support Individual ISO Standards and Other Methodologies?

Lockbox LIMS provides the digital infrastructure to support your lab in achieving and retaining ISO 9001 certification. Audit Trails, Sample Tracking, and Electronic Signatures ensure data integrity and traceability. Built-in formulas and locked protocols in our Protocol Execution module provide consistent instructions and avoid human computational errors. Our QMS modules, Document Control, Training Management, Instrument Management, and Quality Events (including Deviations and CAPAs), round out our support for ISO 9001 customers.

Built for massive scale, Lockbox LIMS provides the end-to-end lineage tracking and robust storage hierarchy necessary for biobank compliance. The system supports compliant sample destruction by updating statuses and volumes to zero without deleting the historical records, and allows secure data migration for millions of legacy records. Since Lockbox LIMS is cloud-based, our database grows to accommodate your growing needs.

Audit trails, traceability, and chain of custody are at the heart of Lockbox LIMS, ensuring that you can always see what records are related and what data has been changed. 

The Instrument Management and Protocol Execution modules track instrument calibration and maintenance, and ensure that instruments that aren’t ready to use are blocked. Quality Events Management and Document Control provide full on-platform QMS functionality directly linked to your samples, protocols, and instruments, allowing you to quickly see everything in one place.

For customers with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Good Clinical Practices (GCP), or other GxP certifications, Lockbox LIMS ensures traceability, accountability, and data integrity. The system features complete sample hierarchy tracking and visualization, and detailed audit trails. Furthermore, we utilize GAMP 5 methodology to verify and regression test every component of our managed package. Learn more: 6 Key Features of Lockbox LIMS for Data Integrity and Traceability
