CloudLIMS

CloudLIMS is a web-based, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) designed to serve a broad range of laboratory types, including biobanks, clinical diagnostic and research labs, cannabis testing labs, environmental labs, food and beverage labs, genomics labs, and many more. Trusted by customers in over 100 countries, CloudLIMS helps laboratories streamline sample management, testing workflows, compliance, and data management — all with zero upfront cost and no software installation required.

The platform is purpose-built to address the unique operational demands of diverse laboratory environments, from biorepositories managing human tissues and bio-fluids to industrial biotechnology labs driving bio-based manufacturing innovation. CloudLIMS is delivered entirely via the cloud, meaning updates and upgrades are applied automatically, ensuring all users always have access to the latest version of the software.

Complimentary Services Included with CloudLIMS
