QLIMS

QLIMS, developed by OnQ Software, is a lab-grown Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) built by scientists, for scientists. Designed as a modern, user-friendly, and SaaS-driven platform, QLIMS delivers advanced lab informatics technology at an affordable price. It goes beyond traditional LIMS functionality to provide a fully integrated, end-to-end informatics solution — from sample management through to final reporting — empowering scientists without requiring software developers or complex IT infrastructure.

QLIMS is suited to a wide range of laboratory environments, including genomics, pharmaceutical research, manufacturing, and quality control. Its flexible SaaS edition allows laboratories to start quickly and expand functionality as their operations grow, making it equally appropriate for smaller labs and large enterprise environments.
