The award-winning lab management

SAMPLES sets new standards – starting with implementation

With a focus on maximum performance and connectivity in the lab, SAMPLES sets new standards among laboratory information and management systems (LIMS). Our team works meticulously every day to provide you with SAMPLES – a LIMS that is perfectly tailored to your needs and can be quickly and easily adapted to your individual requirements. As a result, SAMPLES is also the solution to the biggest challenge currently facing most laboratories: operating innovatively and resiliently in a rapidly changing environment with increasing cost pressures. Key to this is SAMPLES’ specialized software architecture and the use of state-of-the-art technologies, which also significantly reduce the implementation effort: SAMPLES can be implemented more easily and, above all, much faster than is typically the case with LIMS systems. We guarantee that you’ll be able to benefit from the advantages of SAMPLES in production as quickly as possible.

Start with innovation & grow with a focus on the future

With SAMPLES, you’re future-proof right from the start: Innovative technologies, state-of-the-art interface standards, and an adaptive software concept guarantee a LIMS that’s both tailored to your needs and adaptable – even for future challenges. User interfaces tailored to your needs and fully customizable are just as much a part of SAMPLES as the web application’s full availability on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. For use cases such as collecting environmental samples and population monitoring, the SAMPLES LIMS also offers special outdoor-optimized user interfaces and GPS data collection for field use. These and many other innovative features of SAMPLES ensure true cross-industry compatibility and adaptability to virtually any use case and application. The best part: SAMPLES is always only as complex for the user as is truly necessary.

Editable step-by-step instructions make all the difference

One of SAMPLES LIMS’s particular strengths is its easy-to-create and easy-to-edit step-by-step instructions and SOPs. In SAMPLES, these instructions can also be supplemented with images, user manuals, and videos, which provide lab staff with important information about the process or laboratory equipment as needed. In daily laboratory practice, the step-by-step instructions and SOPs ensure that relevant laboratory processes can be carried out reliably and reproducibly with the assistance of the LIMS. As a result, SAMPLES not only improves quality and reduces the error rate but also eliminates much of the need for in-person training and supervision.

SAMPLES 2.0 – for even greater efficiency and enjoyment in the lab

The second generation of SAMPLES has been available since October 2026. It is designed to deliver nothing less than new smart features, more extensive customization options, and additional improvements in usability and design to make lab work even more efficient and enjoyable. In this context, aspects of usability and user experience in a LIMS are becoming increasingly important, as they are not only crucial for employee motivation but also have a significant impact on efficiency and, consequently, the cost-effectiveness of laboratories. SAMPLES explicitly relies on the latest standards and the familiar look and feel of the mobile apps users interact with daily on their smartphones.
SAMPLES’ new multi-panel design now provides an even clearer overview within the LIMS and brings all essential information directly into the user’s view. The further expanded filtering options and the highly customizable views in SAMPLES 2.0 also contribute to this. In addition, analyses can now be created directly from the sample or from the order within the SAMPLES LIMS. And that’s not all: Thanks to SAMPLES’ new compact entry feature, analyses of multiple samples can be started significantly faster. Device management and control charts in SAMPLES 2.0 also feature key innovations. The signature “SAMPLES feel” – with its intuitive and user-friendly navigation, as well as maximum performance and connectivity – remains unchanged.

A perfect fit for virtually any application scenario

Because SAMPLES allows users to implement everything from customized workflows to complex automation processes, the LIMS is an attractive solution for virtually any laboratory. In addition, the optional external workflow engine ensures that SAMPLES is ideally suited even for high-throughput laboratories. With its specific focus on maximum performance and connectivity, SAMPLES guarantees users consistently more efficient processes, which ultimately translate into greater cost-effectiveness and competitiveness.

Certified Security Without Compromise

SAMPLES also makes no compromises when it comes to quality and security: As a software manufacturer, we – qualitype GmbH – are certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and also comply with the requirements of the NIS2 Directive. In addition, we are actively involved in associations and networks such as SPECTARIS, biosaxony, and the Alliance for Cybersecurity.

Protecting your sensitive data is our top priority. With SAMPLES LIMS, your data is always transparent, verifiable, and under your control. This also applies to hosting: SAMPLES can be operated either securely in the cloud on European servers or on-premises on your own servers. You decide for yourself which LIMS operating model best suits your requirements and circumstances.
