The LIMS
for more efficiency with AI

Use SAMPLES and the possibilities of artificial intelligence to take your laboratory to a new level.

Made in Germany by passionate lab people

For the integration of AI applications, the LIMS requires a modern software architecture with open interfaces and structured data.
SAMPLES sets new standards here and has everything you need to make the world of AI fully accessible to you.

Exemplary applications include quality control, optimization of work processes, analysis of individual results or learning from large amounts of data.

…or a conversation with ChatGPT about your data in SAMPLES (see screenshot).

Whatever drives you when it comes to AI: There are virtually no limits to the implementation scenarios.
We are happy to support you in implementing your ideas.

Simply interact with the LIMS via AI chat.

SAMPLES has everything you need to get the most out of your data with artificial intelligence.
In a prototype chat app, we have connected ChatGPT with SAMPLES and thus made the data easily accessible.
The video opposite gives you a first impression of the fascinating possibilities this opens up…

From the relieving voice control of the LIMS to the diverse access and evaluation options and the direct linking of query results to the LIMS, even this small example clearly shows the great potential of AI for increasing efficiency in the laboratory.

You can also find out more about this in our article “Efficiently simplifying everyday laboratory work with ChatGPT” in the publication “Artificial intelligence in the laboratory” by SPECTARIS, the association of German laboratory equipment manufacturers.

This prototype of a chat app uses both ChatGPT and the SAMPLES interface to interact with the laboratory data in the LIMS in human language.

The article describes the advantages of integrating ChatGPT with the SAMPLES LIMS system.

GraphQL – API

GraphQL – the high-performance interface technology that GitHub, Twitter, Airbnb and the New York Times also rely on.

The entire SAMPLES data schema is documented in a structured manner.
The interface enables direct access to all data and functions of the application.
To work with the interface, you need knowledge at the level of a web developer (or enough motivation and some support from ChatGPT).

SAMPLES offers free, first-class documented access to all your lab data and metadata.

Hands-on GraphQL interaction with SAMPLES

Query data

GraphQL queries are used to query data via the interface.
These return the desired result in the common JSON format.

Compared to REST interfaces, GraphQL is much more efficient and performs better, as it only returns the desired data points rather than entire data sets.

Create & change data

GraphQL mutations are used to create or change data in SAMPLES.

SAMPLES validates all changes on the server, i.e. you receive the same error messages via the interface as in the frontend.

FAQ

General questions about SAMPLES

;

What is SAMPLES and how can it help my laboratory?

SAMPLES is a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), but also a Lab Execution System (LES).

Depending on how you use it, you can use SAMPLES to manage all the information about your laboratory equipment (devices, consumables, methods, etc.) and the laboratory routine, i.e. the samples and details of their analysis. You can even automate your processes by connecting devices and other software systems.

;

What kind of samples and data can I manage with SAMPLES?

From waste water to tensile tests, everything has its place. SAMPLES is the chameleon among LIMS systems. Basically, all departments can be set up with the specific devices, methods and sample types. Do you have special parameters? No problem, you can even configure measured variables and units yourself and add to them at any time!

;

Is the LIMS compatible with other systems used in the laboratory?

Of course. SAMPLES is an absolute team player! Depending on which interface the other system offers, we can implement the connection to all possible systems (ERP, CRM, order portals, etc.). Connection to device and measuring systems for the automation of your laboratory processes is also possible.

Questions about use

;

How do I start setting up SAMPLES?

As a rule, it makes the most sense to start with a laboratory process incl. of all master data, etc. in SAMPLES and to refine it over a test period. With the knowledge gained, it is easy to gradually transfer further processes.

The system makes it easy to set up, but you still need time to set it up. No problem! We also offer the setup of your systems as a service. You determine the scope, from start-up assistance to complete set-up, everything is possible.

;

Can I import existing data into the LIMS and how does it work?

Yes, in principle you can import existing data in different places. The decisive factor here is the form in which the required data is available. We can support you with this as part of the system setup.

;

How can I generate and customize reports?

Once the measurement results have been approved, you can create a report for each order. To do this, you need just one click to automatically generate a PDF report from the stored template and attach it. You can even adjust which data appears in the report during the test.

Questions about the operation

;

What operating models are there?

SAMPLES is usually hosted on our Microsoft Azure Cloud. However, if necessary, it can also be rolled out on premise on your servers.

;

How does the LIMS secure my data and guarantee data protection?

As part of our quality and IT security management, we place the highest value on the security of your data.

The systems are usually hosted on our Microsoft Azure Cloud and benefit from Microsoft's high security standards. However, if necessary, they can also be rolled out on premise on your servers.

In cloud mode, the data can be stored either in Western Europe (standard hosting) or on servers in Germany (premium hosting).

;

What happens if I do not have a connection to the Internet?

SAMPLES is a web application. Data created in SAMPLES is stored online or in your internal network if you opt for the on premise version.

A stable Internet connection is required for cloud operation. We offer an optional offline-capable app for sampling.

;

How are updates and upgrades for SAMPLES handled?

SAMPLES is alive and growing. Our development team works daily to add and improve features. Technical updates are provided regularly, and we offer you extended functionality as an optional upgrade.

Services around SAMPLES

;

What training options are available?

Sure! In addition to a manual in the app and video tutorials in our media library, we also offer training courses with our service partners. Whether at your premises, at one of our locations or remotely - we will find a suitable solution!

;

What kind of technical support is available?

In addition to assistance from our support team, we also offer help for self-help: you can find video tutorials for many work steps in our media library.
