Clarity LIMS software

A highly customizable laboratory information management system that allows genomics labs to track samples and manage workflows efficiently and securely.

Overview

Clarity LIMS software is a laboratory information management system (LIMS) that powers efficient genomics sample and workflow management, enabling labs to track samples, streamline complex tasks, generate sample sheets, and catch poor quality samples before running them on a sequencing system. 

Additional benefits of Clarity LIMS software:

  • Saves time and minimizes errors in sample handling through an automated workflow 

  • Streamlines workflows to help you get started without coding expertise 

  • Scales with laboratory needs, accommodating third-party instruments and software through an extensible Application Programming Interface (API) 

Seamless integration with Illumina lab automation software

Illumina lab automation software automatically informs wet lab devices, including liquid-handling robots, on sample placement location and container types. When integrated with Clarity LIMS, users can access real-time status and reporting, enabling end-to-end sample traceability and reagent tracking.
