Instruments and samples, finally on speaking terms.
For an industrial laboratory, we built the bridge that pulls results off seven instruments and into one audit-clean record — Beckman, Roche, Thermo, on the same screen, in the same schema.
01 / Sector
Pharma & laboratories
Software for pharma and laboratories — sample tracking, instrument integration and audit trails for environments where data integrity is non-negotiable.
02 / What we know
What we know about pharma & laboratories
Pharma and the laboratories that serve it run on systems where the audit trail is the product. Sample tracking, instrument integration, results management, electronic signatures, regulatory compliance — we've worked on these systems for industrial, clinical and pharma laboratories.
A lab system has to know where every sample is, every result that's been generated against it, every signature that's been applied, and exactly who did what when. We design around 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 17025 and the realities of GxP-regulated environments — the audit trail isn't a feature; it's the product.
Instrument integration is the part that breaks most builds. Beckman, Roche and Thermo analysers each speak their own dialect of HL7 v2 or ASTM, and the data they emit isn't always clean. We've spent enough time inside those messages to know where to expect the corner cases.

04 / What we've built
What we've built in this sector.
Anonymised, because we have to be. The kind of system, for the kind of business, and what it had to do.

-
02 / 03
A sign-off workflow that meets 21 CFR Part 11.
For a regulated lab, we replaced a paper sign-off process with electronic signatures — every signature bound to the result, the user, the time and the reason, with no path to retroactive edits.
-
03 / 03
Sample tracking that survived an ISO 17025 audit.
For a contract testing lab, we rebuilt the sample chain-of-custody so that every movement, split and aliquot was logged — the auditor's questions were answered before they were asked.
05 / Questions
Common questions, answered plainly.
- 01 Do you work with regulated laboratories?
- Yes. We have built LIMS components for laboratories operating under ISO 17025 and 21 CFR Part 11, and we design with electronic signatures, audit trails and data integrity as first-class concerns.
- 02 What instrument integrations have you worked with?
- Beckman, Roche and Thermo analysers, plus a long tail of older instruments speaking HL7 v2 or ASTM over serial and TCP. We have done both direct integration and middleware-mediated routing.
- 03 Can you extend an existing LIMS rather than replace it?
- Yes, and often that is the right call. We have added instrument bridges, reporting layers and modern web interfaces alongside existing LIMS deployments without rewriting the core.
- 04 How do you handle electronic signatures?
- Signatures are bound to the result, the user, the time and the stated reason. Records become immutable on signature — amendments are tracked as new versions, never silent edits.
- 05 Are you UK-based?
- Yes, we operate from Scotland and work with UK industrial, clinical and pharma laboratories.
