Enhancing Lab Efficiency with Comprehensive Workflow Management

Flexibility to meet your lab’s unique requirements

Your lab runs a unique set of protocols, tests, and workflows. That is why Lockbox is designed to support a wide range of procedures – from simple SOPs comprised of just a few steps, to complex protocols that capture hundreds of reportable results. In combination with our reagent and sample management features Lockbox works to streamline and automate your laboratory workflows.


Workflows, Protocols & Procedures

Lockbox provides comprehensive lab workflow management software that can support a multitude of lab processes. From life sciences and clinical laboratories to quality control testing, Lockbox can store, manage, and automate everything from complex workflows made up of several SOPs to basic test procedures.

Configure steps, results, and analyte thresholds

Users can quickly and easily create standard operating procedures, protocols, and workflows for a variety of lab operations using Lockbox’s point and click configuration tools. This helps ensure accurate data collection and increases turnaround time during protocol execution.

  • Configure protocols with unique procedures, steps, and materials
  • Designate test results as reportable or non-reportable
  • Enforce lot number capture on individual step
  • Differentiate between approved and unapproved tests
  • Set analyte upper and lower ranges/OOS thresholds
  • Bundle several tests to be run together

Initiate automation via protocol completion

Protocols are the engine driving automation – from inventory management to automated results delivery Lockbox LIMS uses automations to streamline your lab operations. In Lockbox LIMS you can automate inventory consumption and creation upon protocol completion, track the status of your workflow in real-time, and generate shareable reports and PDFs.

  • Automatically decrement inventory consumed upon protocol completion
  • Retain historical versions of tests, and the associated samples run on each
  • Track the completion status of workflows, protocols, and procedures
  • Automatically increment inventory created upon protocol completion
  • Ensure data integrity using non-editable, data/time stamped audit trails of test result history
  • Generate a PDF report of test results and automatically email to customer contact

You can use Lockbox LIMS for all of your lab’s workflows and protocols, no matter how simple or complex! You will start by writing each step within the procedure and then configure data collection fields to store all the information you collect during testing. From there automations can be used to track inventory consumption and creation during protocol execution and to track the status of samples undergoing testing. Furthermore, Lockbox LIMS helps prevent errors during testing by automating sample processing calculations and alerting users when quality control standards are not met.

Yes! Samples can be added to any plate configuration (6,12,24…96,384 wells etc.) using Lockbox LIMS Plate Map feature. Samples can also be added to a batch and tested together.

Yes, Lockbox LIMS can support all aspects of NGS workflows including sample and library preparation, pooling, flow cell configuration and sample sheet generation. Check out our NGS support module to learn more about Lockbox’s next generation sequencing capabilities.

Lockbox LIMS can integrate with a wide range of laboratory instruments, from liquid handlers to NGS platforms. You can automatically send and receive data between Lockbox LIMS and your lab instruments, transmit instruction files to your instrument controller and receive back test results, generate NGS Sample Sheets for easy upload into NGS platforms, and integrate with your QC system for automated monitoring and tracking of quality control data.
