Melbourne, Australia – June 4, 2026:

Legion BioSolutions Limited and OnQ Software Pty Ltd are pleased to announce that they have signed a dealer agreement appointing Legion BioSolutions as the regional partner for QLIMS, OnQ Software’s flagship laboratory information management system, across the genomics sector in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Jordan.

Under the agreement, Legion BioSolutions will lead promotion, distribution, configuration, and regional support for QLIMS deployments to genomics laboratories, research institutions, and national programmes across the territory. This expands Legion BioSolutions’ professional services offering with a mature, cloud-native LIMS platform purpose-built for high-throughput, regulated environments, directly addressing one of the most pressing infrastructure needs reported by the institutions Legion is currently engaged with.

QLIMS is a modern SaaS laboratory informatics platform trusted by laboratories worldwide, with a strong track record in genomics including major institutions such as Children’s Cancer Institute Australia. The platform offers no-code configuration, API-driven integrations, and an evolutionary architecture that allows laboratories to adapt as their needs change, alongside built-in support for industry standards including ISO 17025 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11. QLIMS can be integrated with Illumina, Oxford Nanopore and MGI sequencing devices allowing seamless experimental tracking. Recent releases have introduced advanced project management, instrument tracking, in built business intelligence dashboards, and the QLIMS Bridge Module for instrument and data system integration.

For OnQ Software, the partnership provides specialist regional reach into a market where demand for clinical-grade, scalable LIMS infrastructure is accelerating. Legion BioSolutions brings deep technical and commercial relationships across the region’s genome programmes, research hospitals, and precision medicine initiatives, along with the bioinformatics and data engineering expertise to ensure QLIMS implementations integrate cleanly into broader sequencing and analytical workflows.

The agreement forms part of Legion BioSolutions’ broader strategy to assemble a best-in-class, vendor-agnostic technology stack for the institutions building the next generation of genomic infrastructure across the Middle East, combining specialist analytical, sample management, and data governance tools under a single regional point of contact.

“Sample tracking, workflow management, and audit-grade data governance are foundational to every credible clinical genomics programme – and the institutions we work with in the Gulf are building these capabilities at pace. OnQ Software has built a LIMS platform that is genuinely modern: cloud-native, no-code configurable, and proven in genomics environments. We’re proud to bring QLIMS to our clients as the LIMS layer of choice for the region’s most ambitious programmes.”

Dr Bhupinder Hundle, Co-Founder & CEO, Legion BioSolutions

“We are incredibly excited to partner with Legion BioSolutions to introduce QLIMS into the crucial genomics markets of the Gulf and Jordan. The region’s commitment to building world class national genome programmes requires robust, scalable, and modern informatics infrastructure. Legion BioSolutions’ deep local expertise and technical strength in bioinformatics make them the ideal partner to ensure QLIMS, a platform proven in high-throughput genomics, integrates seamlessly and supports these ambitious, clinical grade initiatives.”

Melbourne, Australia – May 19, 2026:

QLIMS is a lab-grown cloud laboratory information management system (LIMS), announced that they have joined the Oxford Nanopore Technologies Compatible Products Programme, a global ecosystem of validated solutions designed to support nanopore sequencing workflows. 

As genomics laboratories continue to scale sequencing operations, they face increasing complexity in managing samples, sequencing data, and downstream analysis across multiple systems. This fragmentation can slow workflows, increase manual effort, and limit the ability to scale efficiently.

QLIMS addresses these challenges by providing a cloud-based, end-to-end platform for sample tracking, sequencing data management, and reporting. Built for genomics and Oxford Nanopore sequencing workflows, QLIMS helps laboratories reduce manual processes, improve data traceability, and support both wet lab and dry lab operations within a single system. The platform also includes AI-powered tools to enhance efficiency across experimental and analytical workflows.

“Joining the Compatible Products Programme is an important milestone for us,” said Jonathan Gannoulis, CEO of OnQ Software. “It reflects our commitment to supporting modern genomics laboratories with connected, scalable solutions that bring structure to increasingly complex sequencing workflows.”

Through its Compatible Products Programme, Oxford Nanopore works with innovative organisations to verify third-party products for use with its platforms. The compatible product ecosystem brings together trusted assays, data management and analysis solutions, and automation platforms that empower users to diversify, streamline and scale workflows on their Oxford Nanopore platforms. By joining this ecosystem, QLIMS strengthens its position as a flexible informatics layer that supports seamless data and workflow management in nanopore sequencing-based environments.

This development supports a wide range of genomics applications, including translational and clinical research, and biotechnology, enabling organisations to focus on what truly matters: advancing science and delivering real-world impact.

OnQ Software has been featured in the Australian Business Journal as one of the ’10 Australian SaaS Companies Defining the Future of Software in 2026′!

We’re proud to be recognised for our efforts to reshape how science is done with our flagship platform, QLIMS – Laboratory Information Management System, freeing researchers and lab managers from admin so they can focus on what really matters: science.

What started in Melbourne has grown into a platform trusted by laboratories across the world. Seeing that journey acknowledged means a lot to our team, and it motivates us to keep pushing boundaries for the lab of the future.

The Australian Business Journal writes:

“For most laboratories, the biggest obstacle to innovation is administration. From managing samples to tracking data across disconnected systems, inefficiency eats into the very time researchers should be spending on discovery. OnQ Software, an Australian-founded company now operating globally, addresses this gap.

Their flagship product, QLIMS, is a SaaS laboratory information management system designed to bring automation, integration, and reporting into a single, accessible platform. At its simplest, QLIMS reduces the reliance on manual, time-consuming processes, making it easier for scientists to manage workflows while ensuring data integrity and regulatory compliance. Its no-code configuration, API-driven integrations, and evolutionary architecture mean laboratories can adapt quickly as their needs change, without being locked into rigid systems.

OnQ Software’s origins trace back to founder Nick Gannoulis, who, as a research scientist at St Vincent’s Hospital, saw firsthand the inefficiencies of paper-based lab systems. That insight became the foundation for a platform now trusted by laboratories across industries from genomics to food science, from Melbourne to the Netherlands.

The OnQ Software team brings both scientific and technical expertise, positioning them to design tools that reflect real laboratory workflows. Their partnership with AWS as a qualified software partner underscores a commitment to security and scalability, while upcoming AI-powered features show a willingness to evolve with the industry. In a sector where outdated systems often slow progress, OnQ Software’s focus is clear: free scientists from administrative bottlenecks so they can focus on the science itself.”
