Device and Systems Integration into Existing LIS

about project

The set of projects involved a series of integrations between various laboratory devices and the customer's existing Lab Information System (LIS). The primary objective was to ensure seamless communication between the devices and the customer’s software, enhancing data handling, device control, and workflow automation.

Drivers were developed for each device, along with software updates to the customer’s existing application. In some cases, simulators were created to facilitate testing and debugging without the need for physical devices.

Devices involved in the project:

- Qinstruments Bioshaker (different types)

- Magellan Devices: Hydroflex Washer and F50 Reader

- Inheco Teleshake 95 AC

- Inheco Incubator

- Inheco ODTC (On-Deck Thermal Cycler)

- aBPS

- Mettler Balance

- Waterbath

- Barcode Scanner

- Micro-Sized Barcode Imager
