Interfaces of
J Street LIMS

When searching for the best LIMS for your lab, it’s smart to ask whether it is capable of interfacing, exchanging data, or integrating with other technology or common third-party software. Our clients rely on J Street LIMS to manage their sample and analytical data, but for some labs this only solves part of the puzzle. Many labs need a LIMS that can directly communicate with their scientific instruments. Most commercial labs are required to submit data to customers in some form, and many labs in environmental settings are required to send data and reports to regulatory agencies for compliance. At the end of the day, there’s a good chance your lab data might have to leave the LIMS at some point, but J Street LIMS makes importing and exporting data seamless while keeping all of your data intact.

Here’s what you need to know about J Street LIMS interfaces and integrations:

COMMON INTERFACES AND INTEGRATIONS:

  • Microsoft Excel interface for easy data imports and exports, custom reports, and templates. We include basic import and export templates as part of our suite of built-in reports. Customize all included report templates to meet your needs. Use our Excel templates as “middleware” between the LIMS and your instruments.
  • The Messaging feature is used to send sample updates to customers via email and can be customized (with a full system license) to interface with various government reporting methods.
  • Soft integration with accounting software, export invoice reports to your preferred system (Quickbooks, Sage, etc) to collect payment. 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT INTERFACES:

Yes! Use the J Street LIMS’ included import template as “middleware” between the LIMS and your instruments. Any instrument data accessible to Excel or .CSV can be imported into the LIMS using suitable templates. This method is flexible and easily adaptable to changes in lab or business processes.

We have already interfaced with many instruments, including GC, MS, ICP, 3M’s Petrifilm Plate Reader (PPR), Dupont’s Qualicon Bax, and several popular balances. 

If your lab instrument can receive imports via Excel/CSV format, there’s a good chance the LIMS can interface out of the box. But, if you need a custom integration with 3rd party software, contact us to learn more about full-system licenses.
