Lab-i Improves Turnaround Time Per Sample

Like any business, laboratories have to develop their business while controlling the quality of operations. An increase in samples and business means many laboratories opt for a laboratory information management (LIMS) system to streamline laboratory operations while reducing expenditure. Read more...

QBCon Joins The Social Network Community

QBCon took another fresh approach for its product Lab-i by creating this customised Laboratory Information Management System’s (LIMS) very own Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and blogspot page.

QLims can easily be followed when doing a search in the “find people” when logged on the Twitter website. We created this profile so we can learn from our customers and in return provide answers for the many question regarding LIMS.

The Qlab-i blog is created to speak to you as a solution seeker and as a friend. We believe that over time this blog will become a relevant and honest resource for the latest LIMS news.

With QBCon LIMS in LinkedIn we believe we will open the doors for the laboratory community on a more professional level. This network will offer access to the knowledge QBCon has obtained over the years. This knowledge will be shared with other professionals in the industry.

QBCon has a need to communicate and connect with other corporate entities and individuals and created a Facebook QBCon page for itself. With this page we will communicate openly, honestly and often. We believe that our company profile on Facebook will become the information hub on business solutions.

However, mass production soon stepped in and standard, expensive LIMS systems were implemented in laboratories with different needs. Read more...

LIMS Blog

Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) are still underrated by many laboratories. QBCon created a LIMS blog to bring across how pivotal a good lab system is to the successful running of a laboratory. We will also aim to answer all your queries relating to laboratory management software. To view the LIMS Blog click here .

Did You Know?

Central Anaylitical Laboratories (CAL) searched the market for a LIMS to fit in with their business logic and contracted QBCon to perform a business analysis of the laboratory. This process determined if Lab-i could meet their specific requirements. Lab-i was fully configured and customised to CAL’s unique business requirements. QBCon used its URS stage as documentation of CAL’s business requirements in order to assist them as a user to access the best system solution for their company.
