diaLIMS

diaLIMS is an industry-independent, standard laboratory information management system (LIMS) developed by dialog EDV, designed to support the digitalisation of laboratory processes across analytics, quality assurance, and research & development. Built on a flexible core system, diaLIMS goes far beyond classic LIMS functionality, offering comprehensive data management, process documentation, and compliance capabilities suitable for laboratories of all sizes and sectors.

The platform is modular and highly customisable, enabling laboratories to tailor the system to their specific workflows. It covers the full sample lifecycle, integrates with analytical instruments and third-party systems, and supports regulatory compliance across a wide range of international standards.
