A cloud LIMS that tracks samples, tests results, and manages inventory for life science research, industrial QC labs, and biotech/NGS. Includes regulatory support for CLIA and HIPAA, Part 11 and ISO 17025. The quality, security, traceability, and traceability for samples is crucial to a lab's success. Laboratory professionals can use the Lockbox LIMS system to manage their samples. They have full visibility of every step of the sample's journey from accession to long-term storage. LIMS analysis is more than just tracking results. Lockbox's multilayered sample storage and location management functionality lets you define your lab's storage structure using a variety location options: rooms and storage units, shelves and racks, boxes and boxes.

Built for testing laboratories, QBench is a cloud LIMS that brings samples, workflows, lab data, inventory, reporting, quality processes, and client interactions into a single system.
From order placement through sample processing, results, and automated reporting, QBench supports every stage of lab operations. Lab teams configure their own workflows, data fields, and automation rules, so the software fits existing processes instead of forcing new ones. When requirements shift, labs can adjust fields, processes, and automations without depending heavily on custom code.
Instruments, software, and outside systems connect to QBench through file parsers and a robust API, which moves data automatically and limits repetitive entry and transcription mistakes. For reporting beyond the LIMS, labs can connect QBench to Tableau, Power BI, Domo, or Looker via REST API.
What labs get with QBench:
Sample and workflow management
Configurable workflows and custom data fields
Workflow automation
Instrument and system integrations
File parsing and API connectivity
Inventory management
A client portal
Automated reporting
Analytics and operational insights
Connections to Tableau, Power BI, Domo, and Looker
A built-in Quality Management System (QMS)
Because it runs in the cloud, lab teams get secure access to their data, workflows, quality management, and reporting in one centralized platform. Implementation and ongoing guidance come from a team that includes former bench scientists who understand laboratory workflows.

Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK)
Created within the Data Sciences Platform at the Broad Institute, this comprehensive toolkit provides an extensive array of features primarily aimed at variant discovery and genotyping. With its robust processing engine and high-performance computing capabilities, it is equipped to manage projects of any magnitude. The GATK has established itself as the industry benchmark for detecting SNPs and indels in both germline DNA and RNA sequencing data. Its functionalities are now broadening to encompass somatic short variant detection as well as addressing copy number variations (CNV) and structural variations (SV). Besides the core variant callers, the GATK incorporates numerous utilities for executing associated tasks, including the processing and quality assurance of high-throughput sequencing data, and it comes bundled with the well-known Picard toolkit. Originally designed for exome and whole genome data generated via Illumina sequencing technology, these tools are versatile enough to be modified for use with various other technologies and study designs. As research evolves, the adaptability of the GATK ensures it remains relevant in diverse genomic investigations.

QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench
The QIAGEN CLC Geneomics Workbench is a powerful tool that works for all workflows. It is easy to overcome data analysis challenges with cutting-edge technology, unique features and algorithms that are widely used by scientists in industry and academia. Bioinformatics software solutions that are user-friendly allow for comprehensive analysis and interpretation of your NGS data. This includes de novo assembly and transcriptome assembly, resequencing analysis, WES and targeted panel support, variant calling, variant calling, RNA–seq, ChIP–seq and DNA methylation analysis (bisulfite sequence analysis). You can analyze your RNA-seq (miRNA, smallRNA) and smallRNA (lncRNA), data using easy-to-use transcriptomics workflows that allow for differential expression analysis at both gene and transcript levels. QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench was designed to support a wide variety of NGS bioinformatics programs.
