That’s why now is the time to switch
01
Precise data transfer
SAMPLES supports the changeover with suitable interfaces and tools for structured data preparation. The required legacy data can thus be transferred to the new system in a secure, targeted and traceable manner. Thanks to versatile configuration options, the relevant data structures can be precisely mapped in SAMPLES.
02
Fast implementation
SAMPLES is exceptionally flexible and adaptable. It is therefore much easier and, above all, quicker to implement than you might think. In addition, a quickly provided test system guarantees you constant transparency and control over the development process. Our common goal: to integrate your new LIMS into your daily laboratory routine as quickly as possible.
03
Efficiency at all levels
Why are your laboratory processes more efficient with SAMPLES? Because the familiar app feeling and intuitive operation noticeably increase employee motivation in the laboratory. The modern look and smart, future-oriented functionalities also contribute to this. And with all this, the system is only ever as complex as is really necessary.
Memberships & associations
“For over 20 years, we at LIMS at work have been supporting companies with all aspects of quality assurance and quality management in the laboratory environment. We understand the challenges, needs, and concerns. That’s why we immediately became fans of SAMPLES, a modern and highly flexible laboratory management system.

SAMPLES – every lab is different
SAMPLES is an award-winning Laboratory Information and Management System (LIMS) with integrated Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) and Lab Execution System (LES). The solution helps to clearly structure laboratory workflows, efficiently control sample and order processes and automate recurring activities. It impresses with its exceptional flexibility and adaptability. With minimal implementation effort, it adapts to specific requirements and is only ever as complex as needed.
SAMPLES connects the user with the desired applications and devices by means of high-performance, open interfaces. The "Product of the Year 2025" of the readers of the trade magazine LABO thus guarantees maximum performance and connectivity - from convenient sample management and the implementation of individual step-by-step instructions (SOP) and workflows to the realization of complex automation processes.
SAMPLES is designed not only to document laboratory processes, but also to actively execute and standardize them digitally. The integrated LES provides support with interactive step-by-step instructions and ensures reproducible processes in day-to-day work. At the same time, users benefit from flexible configurability so that individual workflows can be mapped and the application can easily grow with new requirements.
For practical use in the laboratory, SAMPLES offers a modern, intuitive user interface with customizable views. These are not only available on the desktop, but also in the web browser on a tablet or smartphone. This gives users maximum flexibility - right through to sampling in the field thanks to available outdoor functionalities such as GPS data, offline mode and optimized user interfaces.
Thanks to the open software architecture and powerful interfaces, the SAMPLES can also be seamlessly integrated into the system landscape - including device connection, data exchange and integration of external analysis tools (e.g. Python-based evaluations). For traceability and governance, functions such as audit trail, release of results according to the dual control principle and structured test plans are available.
A multitude of smart features and functions round off the award-winning SAMPLES and make it equally attractive for start-up laboratories, contract and research laboratories as well as high-throughput laboratories. These include, for example a sophisticated order, user & role management, interactive step-by-step instructions, convenient sample management, sophisticated warehouse management with storage management with structured storage locations and efficient storage and retrieval, smart device integration and management of devices, secure quality standards such as audit trail & compliance through to reliable consumables management and much more.
Personal wins
Do you have questions or are you unsure to what extent SAMPLES can meet your needs?
Let’s get talking. I look forward to the exchange.
Frequently asked questions
Make an appointment for an initial consultation. We will address your concerns and clarify all the important points. We will take the time to answer your individual questions.
What is SAMPLES and how can it help my laboratory?
SAMPLES is a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), but also a Lab Execution System (LES).
Depending on how you use it, you can use SAMPLES to manage all the information about your laboratory equipment (devices, consumables, methods, etc.) and the laboratory routine, i.e. the samples and details of their analysis. You can even automate your processes by connecting devices and other software systems.
What kind of samples and data can I manage with SAMPLES?
From wastewater to pull samples, there’s a place for everything. SAMPLES is the chameleon of LIMS systems. Essentially, all departments can be set up with their specific instruments, methods, and sample types. Do you have special parameters? No problem—you can even configure measurement variables and units yourself and add to them at any time!
Is the LIMS compatible with other systems used in the laboratory?
Of course. SAMPLES is an absolute team player! Depending on which interface the other system offers, we can implement the connection to all possible systems (ERP, CRM, order portals, etc.). Connection to device and measuring systems for the automation of your laboratory processes is also possible.
How do I start setting up SAMPLES?
As a rule, it makes the most sense to start with a laboratory process incl. of all master data, etc. in SAMPLES and to refine it over a test period. With the knowledge gained, it is easy to gradually transfer further processes.
Although the system makes setup easy, it still takes some time to get everything set up. No problem! We also offer system setup as a service. You decide the scope—anything is possible, from basic assistance to a complete setup.
Can I import existing data into the LIMS and how does it work?
Yes, in principle you can import existing data at different points. The decisive factor here is the form in which the required data is available. We are happy to support you with this as part of the system setup.
How can I generate and customize reports?
Once the measurement results have been approved, you can create a report for each order. To do this, you need just one click to automatically generate and attach a PDF report from the stored template. You can even change the data that appears in the report during the test.
What operating models are there?
SAMPLES is usually hosted on our Microsoft Azure Cloud. However, if necessary, it can also be rolled out on premise on your servers.
How does the LIMS secure my data and guarantee data protection?
As part of our quality and IT security management, we place the highest value on the security of your data.
The systems are usually hosted on our Microsoft Azure Cloud and benefit from Microsoft’s high security standards. However, if necessary, they can also be rolled out on premise on your servers.
In cloud mode, the data can be stored either in Western Europe (standard hosting) or on servers in Germany (premium hosting).
What happens if I do not have a connection to the Internet?
SAMPLES is a web application. Data created in SAMPLES is stored online or in your internal network if you opt for the on premise version.
A stable Internet connection is required for cloud operation. We offer an optional offline-capable app for sampling.
How are updates and upgrades for SAMPLES handled?
SAMPLES is alive and growing. Our development team works daily to add and improve features. Technical updates are provided on a regular basis and we offer extended functionality as an optional upgrade.
What training options are available?
Sure! In addition to a manual in the app and video tutorials in our media library, we also offer training courses with our service partners. Whether at your premises, at one of our locations or remotely – we will find a suitable solution!
What kind of technical support is available?
In addition to assistance from our support team, we also offer help for self-help: you can find video tutorials for many work steps in our media library.
