Key Capabilities

Everything you need from workflow automation

Built into every A1 LIMS subscription — no add-ons, no hidden modules. Configure it to your lab's exact workflow.

🗺️
Visual Workflow Builder
Design laboratory workflows using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Map every step from sample receipt to final report — and change it whenever your process evolves.
👤
Automatic Task Assignment
Tasks assigned automatically to the right analyst based on competency, workload, and availability. No manual coordination. No things falling through the cracks.
⏱️
TAT Monitoring & Escalation
Set turnaround time targets for every test and workflow. Automatic alerts when samples are running late — escalated to supervisors if action isn't taken within defined windows.
✍️
Electronic Review & Approval
Build multi-step review and approval workflows with electronic sign-off. Every approval logged with timestamp, user identity, and role — fully compliant with regulatory requirements.
📋
Dynamic Worksheets
Auto-generated analyst worksheets showing exactly what needs to be done, in what order, with what method. Updated in real time as workflows progress.
📊
Live Workflow Dashboard
Monitor the status of every active workflow in real time. See bottlenecks, backlog, and analyst utilisation at a glance — and act before delays become problems.
How It Works

Simple to set up, powerful in use

Get up and running in days, not months. A1 LIMS is designed to be configured by lab managers — not IT specialists.

1
Design Your Workflow
Use the visual builder to map your lab process. Add steps, assign roles, set TAT targets, and configure automation rules — in minutes, not weeks.
2
Samples Enter the Workflow
When a sample is registered, A1 LIMS automatically assigns it to the correct workflow based on test panel, matrix, and client. Tasks created and assigned immediately.
3
Analysts Work Their Queues
Each analyst sees only their assigned tasks, in priority order. No confusion about what to do next. Alerts sent when new tasks arrive or deadlines approach.
4
Supervisors Monitor in Real Time
Lab managers see the full picture — every workflow, every sample, every analyst — on a live dashboard. Bottlenecks visible before they cause delays.
5
Automatic Escalation & Completion
Overdue tasks escalated automatically. Completed workflows trigger the next stage — QC review, authorisation, or report generation — without manual handoffs.
