Company description

QBench is a cloud-based Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) designed to help laboratories automate workflows, track samples and orders, manage quality, and maintain compliance. The platform is positioned as a modern alternative to legacy LIMS products, built from the ground up using current engineering and interface design practices. QBench serves a broad range of laboratory types, from Fortune 100 companies to small businesses, and has been in operation for eight years. The company was founded by lab owners and employs former lab scientists to ensure its software reflects real laboratory needs.

QBench describes its platform as a "Lab Operating System" — an integrated suite that goes beyond traditional LIMS functionality to cover quality management, inventory management, customer-facing portals, billing, reporting, and analytics within a single system. It is rated the number one LIMS on G2's highest-rated and easiest-to-use lists, and has received G2 badges including Momentum Leader, Leader, Highest User Adoption, High Performer, Best Relationship, Best Results, Best Usability, and Easiest to do Business With.

Core LIMS Capabilities

• Workflow Tracking and Automation: Tracks orders, samples, and tests throughout the lab workflow. Users can view the status of any order, sample, or test and identify what is pending. No-code automations can be configured to eliminate manual steps and reduce sample turnaround times.
• Sample Tracking and Custom Fields: Tracks samples and their status across the lab. Supports basic metadata, location information, and assay data, with the ability to add fields specific to each lab's requirements.
• Automated Reporting: Supports multiple report templates with the ability to automatically generate, approve, and release large batches of reports and Certificates of Analysis (COAs). A no-code report template editor allows users to update templates without developer involvement.
• Custom Fields and Data Types: Users can add, remove, and rearrange fields for each data type, and assign custom IDs to orders, samples, sources, projects, or invoices.

Configuration and Flexibility

• Admin Configurability: Workflow and field names can be changed to match an organization's naming conventions. Role-based access controls allow administrators to define roles and limit user access accordingly. Any core data type can be tagged to create a flexible organizational structure.
• No-Code Tools: Configuration and automation tools are designed to be used without writing custom code, reducing implementation time and ongoing maintenance costs compared to heavily customized legacy systems.
• Modern REST API: An open REST API is available for building custom automations and deep integrations with other systems used in the lab.
• Fast Implementation: QBench emphasizes that its configurable approach avoids the lengthy, expensive custom implementations associated with traditional LIMS products, allowing labs to go live more quickly.
