Need help with Laboratory Software Development?
Whether you're developing a new digital health product or extending an existing solution with Laboratory Software Development, 6B brings the technical expertise, healthcare insight, and experience needed to accelerate delivery.
From sample tracking and test automation to reporting, inventory control, and integration with clinical systems, our bespoke lab software solutions are built to improve data quality, reduce turnaround times, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Whether you’re replacing legacy systems, building a new Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), or integrating with national health infrastructure, 6B delivers scalable, secure software tailored to your lab environment.
Understanding Laboratory Software
Laboratory software is essential for managing high-volume, high-precision lab operations. Whether used in clinical diagnostics, research labs, or pharmaceutical testing, these systems support every stage of the lab process — from test ordering and sample receipt to results reporting, auditing, and compliance.
Core capabilities often include:
- Electronic test ordering and barcode labelling
- Sample tracking and chain of custody
- Integration with analysers and diagnostic devices
- Result validation, interpretation, and reporting
- Inventory and reagent management
- Compliance with ISO 15189, UKAS, MHRA, and GDPR
- Interfacing with EHRs, PAS, and national systems (e.g. MESH, NHS Spine)
Modern laboratory software must be accurate, interoperable, and responsive to the needs of clinicians, lab technicians, and administrators. At 6B, we build platforms that meet these demands while allowing for future adaptability and growth.
Our Laboratory Software Development Process
As a trusted Laboratory Software Development company, 6B uses a structured, collaborative approach to deliver robust, user-centred solutions for laboratory environments.
We begin with discovery workshops to map your lab’s current workflows, regulatory obligations, and integration requirements. This includes working closely with biomedical scientists, pathologists, and operational leads to understand sample lifecycles, test volumes, and reporting needs.
Our team then designs a secure, scalable architecture and intuitive interface tailored to your users — including features like role-based access, audit trails, and automated data capture. Development is carried out using modern web technologies, with rigorous quality assurance, cybersecurity protocols, and clinical safety governance (DCB 0129) built in.
We support integration with national infrastructure and diagnostic equipment, using open standards (HL7, FHIR, ASTM) and APIs to ensure seamless connectivity with NHS systems, laboratory devices, and external providers. Full testing, training, and change management are provided ahead of go-live, with ongoing support to ensure continued performance and compliance.
