Reuben LIMS – Overview

Flexible, compliant LIMS built around your lab — not the other way around.

Streamline sample intake, testing, approvals and reporting with a modern Laboratory Information Management System that adapts to your workflows, integrates with your tools, and scales as you grow.

 

Highlights at a glance

  • Customisable workflows for simple and complex labs
  • Sample → Test → Approve → Report flow with full traceability
  • Batch testing and guided logic (e.g. auto require additional samples)
  • Audit ready compliance and multi stage approvals
  • Reporting that grows with you (standard reports + Power BI Options)
  • Integrations with instruments, ERPs, and cloud accounting
  • Built for small to mid sized labs that need agility without enterprise overhead

How Reuben LIMS works

  1. Intake & Registration
    Create jobs with one or many samples. Use barcodes to register items and map tubes through the lab with end-to-end traceability.

  2. Guided Testing
    Built-in logic ensures the right steps happen in the right order (e.g. for allergen panels, prompt for additional sample splits). Batch testing keeps multi-product runs organised.

  3. Review & Approval
    Configure multi-stage approvals. Add comments, trigger retests or duplicate checks, and capture a complete audit trail.

  4. Certificate & Delivery
    Generate validated certificates automatically and deliver them to clients. Push job data to your accounting system for clean downstream ops.

  5. Report & Improve
    Use standard reports or plug into BI for TAT, throughput and bottleneck analytics. Build custom KPIs per client or method
