FAQs
What is a LIMS and how does it work?
A LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) is software that helps labs manage everything — from patient registration and sample tracking to test results and billing — all in one place. It reduces manual work, eliminates errors, and ensures smooth communication between doctors, patients, and lab staff.
Why should my lab switch to a digital LIMS system?
Manual workflows and Excel tracking lead to lost reports, slow turnaround times, and unnecessary stress. A digital LIMS like PathLIMS automates all of this — making your lab faster, more reliable, and easier to manage.
