Reduce the time needed to create a LIMS Requirements document, and have fun doing it, with Autoscribe's configuration and prototyping tool. LimsBuilder is a unique configuration tool that allows users to define requirements for a LIMS by creating a prototype of the ideal system. LimsBuilder provides the ability to define system appearance using unique screen and menu design tools and much more.

Multiple menu schemes can be designed together with multiple sample numbering schemes. System security can also be defined.

LimsBuilder can be used to create a highly detailed prototype of the system needed or a much simpler overview system. On completion of the configuration task a complete definition of the system can be printed including all screen designs and explanations. The real benefit of LimsBuilder is that the system can be visualised rather than just being represented.

LimsBuilder is available on monthly rental terms and an obligatory training course is provided in the first month within the rental cost. LimsBuilder is ideal for consultants, developers and end user customers who have a need to define requirements in a visual manner as well as on paper. Alternatively the system can be used for training courses.

Example LIMS Screens follow that were created using LIMSBuilder

The unique Workflow user interface that can be simply and easily created via LIMSBuilder represents the progress of a sample through the laboratory. Simply click on a selected step in the workflow diagram and go straight to that LIMS function. This interface is more intuitive than conventional menus as it better represents the sequence of work in the laboratory. Moreover multiple workflow interfaces can be used and they can be individually configured to suit different work practices as required using standard configuration tools that do not require programming or esoteric, proprietary scripting languages.

Example LIMS Workflow Screen

Example LIMS Sample Registration Screen for a Food Industry Application

Similar screens can be easily and readily configured and deployed for any application / industry such as Stability LIMS Study Management, Training Record Management, Resource Planning, Nuclear Industry LIMS for District Surveys, Chemistry and Liquid Discharge, WasteWater Management LIMS, Instrument Calibration and Maintenance, Sample Tracking, Customer Complaints and Feedback Management.

Example LIMS Sample Status Screen

The easily configured screen below utilises 'colour list boxes' to delineate various sample workflow stages. Similar screens can be easily and rapidly configured to colour sample in eg a receipt list according to how close they are to a deadline. Colours can be automatically updated as the original due date gets closer and hence the sample becomes even more important to do.

Example 'Live' LIMS Test Status Update Screen

The following screen automatically updates at user defined preset intervals to show all sample / test status for samples or tests that can be preselected if required by the use of simple filters and lookups.
