Simple Laboratory Information Management System Integration
Our RESTful-based API allows for easy integration with your laboratory information management system (LIMS).
Some examples for successful integration with LIMS and sample management software using our API include Titian Mosaic, LabWare LIMS, and Labvantage, to name just a few.
The API includes many functionalities that are available on the user interface, such as:
- Job Management - create, modify, cancel, or pause jobs
- Sample Inventory - information on the sample in the system or historical placement of the sample
- Notifications - inform the LIMS when a job has changed states, or when a sample has been moved into or removed from the storage system to help keep the LIMS synchronized with the physical state
