Beta of X-Lab Suite is ready

On November 1, 2026 a beta of X-Lab Suite was prepared. The system brings laboratory processes in X-Lab LIMS together with customer work in X-Lab CRM.

The beta covers the main laboratory workflow: from registering requests and running tests to issuing protocols, keeping resource records, and maintaining the quality management system. Commercial work is connected to the laboratory work. Contract data can be carried into a measurement request without entering those details again.

X-Lab LIMS: from the request to the test result

Sampling requests and measurement requests are recorded in one register. A request becomes a measurement assignment or a sampling assignment. A measurement assignment brings together the work, the protocols, and the time spent. The assignment is complete when every protocol it includes has been issued. A sampling report is prepared for sampling.

Samples are registered, labeled, and found by barcode. Tests are assigned to them. Before a result is entered, the system checks that the needed resources are available: reagents, reference materials, materials, protective equipment, and equipment. Material use is recorded against the lots that were selected.

The system also keeps equipment records, including metrology, verification, maintenance, and repairs. Solutions are prepared from approved recipes, with the components that were used.

Quality management and documents

X-Lab LIMS supports activity-area elements, internal and external documents, staff acknowledgment of those documents, nonconformities, and risks and opportunities.

Internal audits can be planned. Interlaboratory comparisons can be recorded, and internal quality control can be kept. Environmental conditions are recorded for measurement locations. The audit trail shows who changed a record and what was changed.

X-Lab CRM: from a quotation to a laboratory request

X-Lab CRM keeps companies, contacts, and leads, and the history of customer interactions: calls, emails, meetings, messenger messages, and paper correspondence.

A quotation can be converted into a contract, and completion certificates can be kept for that contract. When a contract includes laboratory work, it can open a measurement request in X-Lab LIMS. Contract data is carried into the request, so those details do not have to be entered again.

What is still in development

The beta still has limits:

• the invoice journal is still in development;
• a qualified electronic signature cannot be applied in the browser.

Work on X-Lab Suite continues, and what the system can do is refined as that work goes on.
