QC Lab Automation
Achieve full digital transformation in your QC lab for faster, data-driven batch release processes.
Moving Beyond LIMS in Quality Control Labs
For quality control labs, efficiency isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) streamline data management, but they fall short when it comes to executing and automating critical lab processes. Manual steps, fragmented workflows, and paper-based procedures introduce inefficiencies, errors, and compliance risks that your lab simply can’t afford.
Laboratory Automation for Efficiency
To fully achieve digital transformation, quality control labs must adopt fully integrated and automated lab software solutions. Companies that implement comprehensive lab automation solutions in QC labs have seen remarkable improvements in efficiency, compliance, and accuracy. Here’s how you can achieve it too.

FAQs about QC Lab Automation
While a traditional LIMS provides the backbone for data management, BIOVIA ONE Lab's next-generation LES capabilities transform QC operations by digitalizing procedure execution and streamlining test review processes. Its inherent flexibility allows it to integrate seamlessly with existing LIMS infrastructure, adapt to specific and evolving lab processes, and connect with a wide range of instruments, collectively driving unparalleled automation and efficiency in the QC lab.
QC automation is the application of lab software and technology to streamline and digitize quality control workflows, minimizing manual intervention. This involves using systems like Lab Execution Systems (LES) to guide and enforce test methods, directly integrating with instruments for automated data capture, performing calculations automatically, and enabling automated sample and reagent tracking. It transforms the QC lab from a manual, error-prone environment into a highly efficient, accurate, and compliant digital operation by reducing human error, accelerating processes like batch release, and ensuring robust data integrity.
Increasing productivity in a QC Lab is a multi-faceted endeavor that combines strategic planning, process optimization, and the intelligent application of technology. Here are the best practices:
Embrace Digitalization and Automation:
- Implement a robust and unified LIMS and LES solution: A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is foundational for managing samples, tests, results, and reporting. A Lab Execution System (LES) takes it a step further by digitizing and enforcing the actual testing workflows, guiding analysts through SOPs, and ensuring "right-first-time" execution. This minimizes manual errors, transcription, and review times. A solution which integrates these functionalities together provides a unified environment, standardizes data, eliminates data silos, and ensures regulatory compliance.
- Instrument Integration: Connect lab instruments directly to your LIMS/LES to enable automated data capture. This eliminates manual data entry, speeds up result processing, and enhances data integrity.
- Automated Calculations and Data Processing: Leverage software to perform complex calculations and apply pre-defined rules, reducing manual effort and the risk of computational errors.
- Electronic Batch Records (EBRs): Move away from paper-based batch records to electronic systems that integrate data from LIMS, LES, and instruments, streamlining review and release.
