LES

LabVantage's Laboratory Execution System (LES) is a purpose-built solution designed to enforce lab compliance, guide technicians through standard operating procedures, and streamline quality control across complex testing and manufacturing environments. It is used most often in quality manufacturing settings where consistent adherence to process protocols, regulatory requirements, and company SOPs is critical to product integrity.

LabVantage LES operates as a fully integrated component of the LabVantage platform, working alongside the LIMS, Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN), and Scientific Data Management System (SDMS) to support end-to-end digital transformation. By replacing paper-based workflows with electronic worksheets and guided execution templates, the system reduces data entry burden, eliminates unnecessary paper records, and ensures that all test execution activities meet quality and compliance mandates.

Core Capabilities

• Defines and enforces SOPs throughout the manufacturing testing workflow using configurable workflow execution templates
• Electronic worksheets capture all required data and guide users through the proper execution of lab tests step by step
• Prompts technicians to check for common errors such as equipment calibration status, expired reagents, or insufficient sample size
• Supports incorporation of specific control factors including environmental conditions, batch formulas, and customer-requested variables
• Testing methods can be easily defined at the time of deployment or as new tests are introduced
• Worksheets and templates support ordering tests for a single sample or multiple samples simultaneously

Compliance and Audit Trail Features

• All activities within a procedure are logged and time-stamped, enabling colleagues and managers to review and approve steps as needed
• Completed worksheets can be routed for approval through eSignatures, ensuring full audit trail compliance
• Reports requiring approvals are automatically sent to managers, saving time and reducing manual follow-up
• Security, permissions, data access, and audit trail configurations are consistent with the broader LabVantage LIMS environment

Reporting and Documentation

• Reports can be easily generated to complete certificates, communicate test results, populate dashboards, or route to business analysts for further study
• Standard templates expedite the documentation process and can be personalized, formatted, and exported to PDF and Word for publishing

Collaboration and Efficiency

• Increases efficiency through paperless workflows, automated steps, and strengthened quality control and compliance
• Supports cross-functional teams by enabling data sharing, eliminating silos, and facilitating collaboration
• Mobile-enabled, browser-based solution that is fully HTML5-compliant, allowing data access from anywhere at any time
• Eliminates the need for client-side installation, validation, or maintenance

LabVantage LES is delivered as part of the integrated LabVantage laboratory informatics platform, making it well suited for organizations planning or executing a digital transformation of their lab operations. Its tight integration with LIMS, ELN, and SDMS ensures a unified data environment that supports both operational efficiency and regulatory compliance across quality manufacturing and research settings.
