CloudLIMS is a laboratory information management system (LIMS) provided as a configurable, cloud-hosted software service. It is structured to manage data and streamline operations for diverse laboratory environments, including biobanking, clinical diagnostics, and analytical testing. The platform operates on a subscription basis, eliminating upfront capital expenditure for software licenses. Core functionality encompasses modules for registering subjects and samples, managing tests and workflows, tracking storage locations, and administering client and staff profiles. Dedicated web portals are available for external users such as clients, physicians, and patients to access relevant data. Integrated tools support document control, instrument calibration and maintenance scheduling, and a quality management system to aid compliance with standards like ISO 17025, ISO 15189, and CLIA. Data security and regulatory compliance are central to the system's design. It utilizes a SOC-compliant IT infrastructure with automated backups across multiple geographic locations. Features are included to assist laboratories in adhering to regulations such as 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, and the EU GDPR. The vendor provides several standard services. Technical support is accessible via email, live chat, and telephone during business hours across multiple time zones. Online training resources are available for system administrators and end-users. The software can interface with laboratory instruments through automated import and mapping of data from CSV or Excel files. Custom report templates, including Certificates of Analysis, can be developed. Software updates are deployed automatically to all subscribers at no additional charge. The vendor also offers assistance with data migration from existing legacy systems into the CloudLIMS environment.
