Sample Management

Track every sample. Miss nothing.

From intake to disposal, PureLIMS gives you complete visibility into every sample's journey — with barcode-driven accessioning, unbroken chain-of-custody, and an immutable evidence vault.

Full Lifecycle Tracking

Track every sample from client request through accessioning, preparation, analysis, QA review, reporting, and disposal. Every state change is logged with timestamps and user identity.

  • Configurable sample statuses and transitions
  • Automatic status updates on workflow completion
  • Resampling and split-sample support
  • Batch and individual sample processing
  • Parent-child sample relationships
  • Disposal tracking with retention policy enforcement

Chain-of-Custody

Unbroken chain-of-custody from courier pickup to final disposal. Every handoff is recorded with e-signatures, timestamps, and optional photo capture.

  • Courier pickup logging with GPS and timestamp
  • Temperature and condition monitoring at receipt
  • Handoff e-signatures at every transfer point
  • Photo capture for sample condition documentation
  • Custody gap detection with automatic alerts
  • Full audit export for regulatory inspection

Dynamic Test Panels

Define test panels with custom analytes, methods, specifications, and action limits per jurisdiction. Analysts see exactly what to test, with out-of-spec values flagged automatically.

  • Configurable analyte panels per lab and jurisdiction
  • Method-specific parameters and specifications
  • Action limits with color-coded result flagging
  • Dependent tests conditioned on prior results
  • Panel versioning with effective date ranges
  • No-code panel configuration for lab managers

Barcode & Label Management

Generate and scan barcodes at every stage. Support for 1D, 2D, and QR codes with configurable label templates that include sample ID, client, test panel, and custody information.

  • 1D, 2D, and QR code generation
  • Configurable label templates per sample type
  • Scan-to-accession for rapid intake
  • Batch label printing for high-volume labs
  • Mobile scanner support for field collection
  • Label reprint with version tracking

Immutable Evidence Vault

Every raw data file, instrument output, photo, and signed document is stored with SHA-256 hash verification. WORM-like immutability ensures no artifact can be altered after commit.

  • SHA-256 hash on every stored artifact
  • WORM-like write-once storage
  • Geographic redundancy and encrypted backups
  • Configurable retention policies per record type
  • One-click integrity verification
  • Audit-ready export with hash chain proof

Report Generation

Automatically generate certificates of analysis, compliance reports, and client-facing results. Templates are configurable per client, test panel, and jurisdiction.

  • Automated COA generation on QA approval
  • Configurable report templates per client
  • Multi-format export: PDF, Excel, XML, JSON
  • Digital signature embedding in reports
  • Client portal auto-publish on release
  • Regulatory submission queue with retry logic
