Connectivity at scale

Future-proof your lab today.

  • The only integration layer you need in the lab.

    From hardware- to software-based integrations: Laboperator is built to scale to hundreds and thousands of securely and highly performing real-time connected devices. 

  • Immediate access to hundreds of integrations.

    Our device portfolio includes integrations for hundreds of devices from all leading equipment manufacturers in the industry, and it keeps growing every day. 

  • Vendor-agnostic, modular, flexible, and standardized.

    Didn’t find your instrument in our portfolio? Laboperator can connect to any equipment with a stable interface. Our modular approach and compatibility with standards ensures low integration costs and prioritizes best practices. 

Monitor-No BG
Data
Automate data transfer & documentation

Save time & improve data quality.

  • Record & visualize laboratory device data.

    All data from lab devices is recorded and stored in Laboperator, where it is structured and access-controlled. The data is available in real time for documentation, processing, analysis, auditing, and transfer to other systems.

  • Remote control of devices.

    Where an interface permits, Laboperator can remotely control devices to parameterize them, start measurements, run commands, or make readouts. 

  • Automation and guidance of lab workflows.

    Our flexible workflow engine includes all the basics, such as buttons, forms, tables, and calculations, but it also combines them with everything you need for hands-free work at the bench and full automation: logical orchestration, device control, event-based triggers, and real-time data exchange with other systems. 

Audit trail-No BG
Compliance
Compliance & traceability

Take your records to the next level.

  • Full audit trail

    Every event in the system, from configuration to data acquisition and critical events, is tracked, traceable, searchable, and exportable. Invaluable for compliance and remarkably useful in any lab thriving for FAIR data. 

  • e-Signatures and workflow reviews

    Our execution system allows for granular e-signatures and reviews of workflow steps and the related audit trail, including segregation of duty as a guiding principle and revision cycles for corrections. 

  • Reporting

    Aggregate any data in Laboperator and create custom reports in many common formats (XML, HTML, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ...) to create the output that you need (PDFs, images, CSV, or template formats). 

Integrations

Better together.
