Read our latest blog 'How a LIMS Improves Quality Control in Manufacturing Laboratories'
What is a LIMS?
A LIMS should work seamlessly alongside your scientific expertise—less admin, more science.
Streamline Your Lab, Focus on Discovery
A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is more than just software; it’s the backbone of a modern, efficient lab. It automates workflows, integrates instruments, and securely tracks every sample, test, and result—eliminating tedious paperwork and reducing human error. Transitioning to a digital environment saves time, cuts costs, and ensures regulatory compliance, so your team can focus on what really matters: breakthrough discoveries.

LIMS isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about future-proofing your lab. ONQ Software provides tailored LIMS solutions designed to meet the evolving demands of modern laboratories.
"We worked with one of the OnQ team for about a week. They sat down, showed us what they had, considered what we wanted them married them up. Then it was a simple case of going to our leadership team and saying we were going to use it.. The benefits just stacked up. "
“We knew from the start that their OTS product needed customisation, as we weren’t just implementing a solution for the Lab, but also for the QC department with different requirements. It’s been a team effort, with our QC team guiding them as we built the scope, and OnQ adapting well to the challenge. The journey continues for both of us.”
"We can tell you that without QLIMS there’s no way we could cope with a thousand samples in a year. If somebody from another lab asked me, ‘Would you recommend QLIMS?’ I’d say, if it’s to try and replicate similar things to what we’ve done, absolutely, hand on heart, these guys will sort you out."
