SLIMS™
End-to-end control of the sample lifecycle.
SLIMS aligns operations, instrumentation, and compliance into a single workflow layer that keeps labs accurate, auditable, and efficient — even during peak volume.
Why SLIMS?
Consistent throughput
Reduce bottlenecks with clear routing, status signals, and resource planning.
Regulatory readiness
Audit trails and traceability meet the needs of regulated, high-complexity labs.
Multi-site coordination
Standardize processes across multiple lab locations with shared controls.
Sample lifecycle
Track specimens from accessioning to reporting with full traceability.
- Barcode and unique ID tracking from collection point through final disposition
- Chain-of-custody events logged at every transfer, aliquot, and storage step
- Rejection workflows capture reasons and trigger corrective pathways immediately
Workflow controls
Configurable steps, rules, and validations that match lab SOPs.
- Workflow builder maps directly to existing SOPs without requiring code changes
- Mandatory checkpoints and inline alerts prevent advancement on incomplete steps
- Deviation capture within workflow context, linked to SHELF NCE/CAPA if integrated
Instrument context
Link runs, batches, and QC metrics directly to samples and reports.
- Instrument run records linked to processed batches for complete audit coverage
- QC metrics and Levey-Jennings trend data surfaced against each analytical run
- Calibration and maintenance event logs associated with affected specimen records
Operational analytics
Capacity, backlog, and turnaround insights for day-to-day decisions.
- TAT dashboards with drill-down by test type, discipline, priority, and time period
- Backlog heat maps surface bottlenecks before they impact SLA commitments
- Capacity utilization trends support staffing and instrument scheduling decisions
Every specimen. Every step. On the record.
SLIMS maintains unbroken chain-of-custody from accessioning through result — the standard accreditation bodies require.
Works with your existing stack
SLIMS connects to the platforms your lab depends on — from ordering and inventory to identity and reporting.
Native bidirectional sync with PRISMS for order intake, status updates, and result handoff to providers.
Reagent and specimen inventory stays synchronized — usage events in SLIMS update SLOTS automatically.
Standard HL7 FHIR and REST interfaces for bidirectional order and result exchange with external lab systems.
Instrument middleware and direct integration support for analyzers, sequencers, and automation platforms.
SAML and OIDC identity provider support with mandatory multi-factor authentication for regulated access.
Structured result delivery, export, and dashboard connectors for downstream BI and reporting systems.
Our implementation team works directly with lab IT and operations to design and validate interfaces for your specific environment and compliance requirements.
Operational intelligence inside the LIMS.
SLIMS connects to Solasta's intelligence layer to surface workflow patterns, flag exception trends, and support capacity decisions — grounded in live operational data, not summarized reports.
Every intelligence interaction is audit-logged to the same record as the rest of the LIMS, maintaining the unbroken evidence chain your accreditors require.
SLIMS is a clinical laboratory information management system (LIMS) built for accredited environments. It handles specimen accessioning, workflow routing, instrument data interfaces, quality control management, and operational analytics across the full test lifecycle.
Laboratory operations teams in accredited clinical, reference, or specialty laboratories that need configurable sample tracking, instrument integration, and compliance-ready reporting without sacrificing flexibility.
SLIMS integrates with SHELF for quality management, PRISMS for report delivery, and SLOTS for reagent and storage management. Instrument interfaces are supported via HL7 and direct middleware connections.
