“You run the analysis. I handle the paperwork.”

“500 samples a week. Every chain of custody intact.”

“Your audit packet gets easier to assemble. Your spreadsheets won't miss you.”

Your Lab Has Outgrown
Spreadsheets and Paper

Labs of every type are drowning in manual processes. Sample logs in Excel. Chain of custody on clipboards. Audit prep on prayer. LIMS BOX was built for exactly this.

40% paperwork, 60% science

Your analysts spend nearly half their time on data entry, transcription, and documentation — not the analytical work you hired them for.

Audit prep takes weeks

Records scattered across spreadsheets, email threads, and paper logbooks. When the auditor calls, you scramble — every single time.

Knowledge walks out the door

Every time a senior tech leaves, institutional knowledge goes with them. SOPs live in someone's head. Method tricks aren't documented.

Chain of custody gaps

Paper-based COC means gaps, missing signatures, and custody disputes. Whether it's EPA samples or forensic evidence — gaps kill credibility.

Compliance outgrows manual processes

ISO 17025, EPA methods, state regulations, and accreditation requirements demand real LIMS — not workaround spreadsheets.

Enterprise LIMS is overkill

You've looked at LabWare and STARLIMS. $50K+ and an 18-month implementation? You need 20% of the features at 10% of the cost.

Deploy in Minutes, Not Months

No implementation team. No configuration sprints. No IT department. Open the case. Plug in. Power on.

01

Ship a rugged field case

Pre-configured with two Mac Studios, daisy-chained. AI assistant + full LIMS database. Ready to deploy anywhere.

02

Open the case

A laminated setup card sits on top: 'Step 1: Plug in. Step 2: Power on. Step 3: Say hello.'

03

AI comes alive

Natural language interaction for lab staff. The AI handles complexity so analysts can focus on samples.

04

Start tracking samples

Sample tracking, chain of custody, QC, result reporting, and validation-support workflows ready for review.

Built for the Real World

Six core capabilities that make LIMS BOX the right LIMS for labs that need results — not IT projects.

Offline-Capable

Full functionality without internet. Works in field offices, mobile labs, and remote sites — no cloud dependency required.

AI-Powered QC

Machine learning flags out-of-spec results, control chart trends, and holding time violations before they become audit findings.

Chain of Custody

Digital COC from field collection to final report. Every handoff logged, timestamped, and audit-ready.

Method Tracking

Built-in method templates for EPA, state, and custom analyses. Holding times, preservation requirements, and QC limits — preconfigured.

Operational Checks

Daily QC checks, calibration reminders, and predictive maintenance alerts keep routine work visible for human review.

Zero IT Footprint

No servers, no IT department, no configuration sprints. Open the case. Plug in. Power on. It just works.

The Ripple Effect

Why getting lab data right at the point of capture matters — for the sample, the record, and everything downstream.

AI in Pathology & Healthcare

AI-ready lab data starts before the result.

Most AI conversations focus on models. LIMS BOX focuses on the data layer: scan events, sample movement, reagent context, asset state, field collection notes, and human-approved documentation. Better inputs create better audit trails, better analytics, and safer AI workflows.

LIS/LIMS-agnostic. Local-first. Human approval required. LIMS BOX is not a diagnostic AI system — it is the AI-ready lab data capture layer.

New · LIMS BOT v0

LIMS BOT drafts lab records for review.

Try a mock scan, generate a documentation draft, edit it, and approve it into the demo audit log. No diagnostic interpretation. No automatic commit.

Not Just a Lab. A Local AI Layer.

LIMS BOX brings full-stack laboratory workflow support to any lab, anywhere. Starting at a fraction of the cost of QBench ($16.5K/yr) or CloudLIMS ($285/user/mo).

Full Sample Tracking

Barcode scanning, chain of custody, result reporting. Enterprise-grade capabilities in a portable package.

Validation Support

Workflow controls for audit trails, electronic signatures, method records, and customer-specific validation review.

AI-Powered Assistance

Natural language interaction for lab staff. The AI handles complexity so analysts can focus on results.

Fully Offline-Capable

Works in field offices and remote sites. No cloud dependency. No internet required. Total data sovereignty.

Enterprise-Grade

Full QC management, inventory tracking, scheduling, result validation, and reporting. Everything a large lab has — at a fraction of the cost.

Client Portal

Automated result delivery to clients. COAs, compliance reports, and status updates — delivered without phone calls.

Every Feature Is a Problem Solved

LIMS BOX doesn't just track samples. It reduces the manual work that slows your lab down.

🧑‍🔬

The Contract Lab Manager

Sample tracking + COCZero lost samples

500 samples a week, every chain of custody intact. No more hunting for paper logs. The auditor walks in and the data is already waiting.

💧

The Water Utility

Compliance reportingEnvironmental workflow support

Daily compliance tests, monthly reports, and annual CCRs — captured with workflow support designed for environmental labs. The utility manager has structured tooling for environmental reporting cycles.

🔧

The Maintenance Tech

Predictive equipment monitoringCost savings

Before the analyzer fails, LIMS BOX flags the pattern. A $12 part gets replaced instead of a $12,000 component.

📋

The QA Director

Audit trail + e-signaturesISO 17025-aligned

Every result traceable. Every change logged. The QA director has a cleaner audit trail to review before assessment week.

Self-Healing Systems

Automated QC + calibrationReliability

Auto-calibration, daily QC checks, backup syncing — all running autonomously. The system maintains itself so analysts don't have to.

🚛

The Field Sampler

Mobile sample loginField-to-lab COC

Samples logged at the collection site. GPS coordinates, timestamps, and preservation checks — captured before the cooler hits the truck.
