Your lab is unique—your workflows, instruments, regulatory requirements, and data management needs don’t fit a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why we specialize in custom Bio-LIMS deployment, configuring dedicated LIMS instances that match your lab’s exact requirements.

From sample accessioning to biobank management, from equipment tracking to custom reporting, we deliver comprehensive LIMS solutions designed for clinical diagnostic labs and biotech research facilities.

What We Deliver

Custom Bio-LIMS Deployment

Not generic software installation. Every Bio-LIMS implementation we deliver is a dedicated instance tailored to your lab’s specific workflows, regulatory environment, and operational needs.

The 80/20 Approach:

  • 80% standard system — Proven Bio-LIMS functionality that works for most labs
  • 20% custom configuration — Tailored workflows, custom fields, reports, and integrations specific to your lab

This approach gives you the reliability of a proven platform with the flexibility of custom development—without the cost and risk of building from scratch.t the cost and risk of building from scratch.

Our Implementation Process

Phase 1: Discovery & Requirements (Week 1-2)

  • Workshop sessions with lab staff and management
  • Document current workflows and pain points
  • Define regulatory and compliance requirements
  • Identify integration needs (instruments, EDC, third-party systems)
  • Establish success metrics

Phase 2: System Configuration (Week 3-6)

  • Deploy dedicated Bio-LIMS instance
  • Configure sample workflows to match your lab processes
  • Build custom fields, reports, and dashboards
  • Set up user roles and permissions
  • Configure integrations (STL LIMS-ext, EDC, etc.)

Phase 3: Testing & Validation (Week 7-8)

  • User acceptance testing with lab staff
  • Workflow validation with real sample data
  • Integration testing with instruments and external systems
  • Performance and security validation

Phase 4: Training & Go-Live (Week 9-10)

  • Staff training (technical users, lab managers, administrators)
  • Data migration from legacy systems (if applicable)
  • Go-live support and troubleshooting
  • Post-launch monitoring and optimization

Phase 5: Ongoing Support (Optional)

  • Help desk support for users
  • System monitoring and maintenance
  • Software updates and enhancements
  • Additional training as staff turnover occurs

Typical Timeline: 2-3 months from kickoff to go-live

Why Choose SciTechLink for LIMS Implementation?

1. Deep Bio-LIMS Expertise

We’re authorized Bio-LIMS implementation partners with deep product knowledge and direct vendor relationships. You’re not getting a generalist consultant—you’re getting specialists.

2. Lab-Focused Approach

We understand lab workflows, regulatory requirements, and the unique challenges of clinical diagnostics and biotech research. Our implementations are built by people who know labs.

3. Proprietary Integration Platform

Unlike consultants who cobble together custom integrations for every project, we use STL LIMS-ext to connect your instruments and external systems quickly, reliably, and cost-effectively.

4. Proven 80/20 Customization Model

We don’t over-customize (expensive, risky) or under-customize (doesn’t fit your needs). The 80/20 approach gives you the best of both worlds—proven functionality with tailored workflows.

5. Flexible Support Options

Choose one-time implementation and handoff, or opt for ongoing managed services. We adapt to your IT capabilities and preferences.

LIMS + STL LIMS-ext: Better Together

Most LIMS implementations leave you manually entering instrument data. Not ours.

When you deploy Bio-LIMS with SciTechLink, we bundle it with STL LIMS-ext integration, giving you:

✅ Automated instrument data transfer (Roche Cobas, GeneXpert, BD Max, etc.)
✅ EDC system integration (iMedNet, Castor)
✅ Real-time data synchronization
✅ Zero manual data entry

This isn’t an add-on—it’s how modern LIMS should work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s included in the 20% customization?

Custom workflows, fields, reports, dashboards, integrations, and business rules specific to your lab’s needs. We work closely with you during discovery to identify exactly what needs customization.

Can you migrate data from our existing system?

Yes. We handle data migration from legacy LIMS, spreadsheets, or other systems as part of the implementation.

Is Bio-LIMS cloud-based or on-premises?

Bio-LIMS can be deployed either way. We typically deploy dedicated cloud instances for faster setup, lower upfront cost, and easier ongoing maintenance—but on-premises deployment is available if required.

What training do you provide?

Comprehensive training for all user roles: lab technicians, lab managers, and system administrators. Training includes hands-on sessions, documentation, and post-launch support.

Do you provide ongoing support after go-live?

Yes. We offer optional managed services including help desk support, system monitoring, software updates, and ongoing optimization.

How does Bio-LIMS compare to other LIMS platforms?

Bio-LIMS is purpose-built for biological and clinical labs, with strong sample management, biobank capabilities, and regulatory compliance features. Unlike generic LIMS platforms, it’s designed specifically for life science workflows.
