Lab operations for the science of tomorrow

One system for every sample, run and result. From accessioning to the signed report, with the audit trail written as you work.

01 — Chain of custody

Every sample, accounted for.

Barcode at accessioning, and ION tracks the tube through every aliquot, freezer slot and hand-off. Each move is timestamped and signed.

02 — Instrument data

Raw files in, structured results out.

Run 2291 · LC-MS/MS · 96 injections · parsed in 4.2 s

ION Laboratories replaces the spreadsheet, the paper binder and the three systems that never talked to each other. One record, from the first barcode to the signed report.

About ION Laboratories

We build software for the people who run the bench. Clinical, environmental, food safety and research labs use ION to move samples faster, keep instruments talking to the record, and walk into every audit with the evidence already filed. No middleware zoo. No re-keying results. Just the work, and proof of it.

Instrument integration

Send worklists. Pull results. Skip the USB stick.

Connect analyzers over ASTM, HL7 or file drop. ION parses the output, maps it to the right sample and flags anything outside its range.

Turnaround

−38%

Target median turnaround after moving off paper worklists.

Reports

Signed PDFs and HL7 out, on release.

Reports go straight to the client portal, the EHR or the LIS.

Bring your
messiest workflow.

In a 30-minute demo we map one of your real workflows into ION: a test, a matrix, the instrument and the report.
