Reconstruct a chain of custody in seconds—not a manual search

A testing lab tracks samples and results across paper logs and standalone spreadsheets, so a sample's chain of custody and test history can't be reconstructed quickly when a client asks. Build a system that connects every sample to its full history.

A paper log can't be queried under deadline

When a client asks for a sample's full test history, a paper-based system means physically pulling logbooks and cross-referencing by hand. That's slow, error-prone, and a real problem when the request comes with regulatory urgency.

Connect accessioning, testing, and approval to one sample record, so a full history is a lookup, not a research project.

From accession to report
  1. 1. Sample is received and accessioned with a unique identifier
  2. 2. Sample is assigned to the required tests
  3. 3. Test results are recorded against the sample
  4. 4. Results are reviewed and approved before release
  5. 5. A report is generated and issued to the client
Who uses it

Three views of the same sample

Lab technician

Accession samples, run assigned tests, and record results.

Reviewer/lab manager

Review and approve results before a report can be released.

Client (portal, optional)

Access approved results and reports directly.

What the system tracks and automates

Records

Samples, accessions, tests, results, approvals, reports.

Automations

Test-assignment routing, an approval requirement before report release, and report generation.

Custom logic

Test-type-specific result formats, and approval-chain rules by test category.

Platform

Own the application. P2HS runs the platform.

Example build brief

Example prompt
Build a LIMS with sample accessioning, test assignment, result recording, review and approval workflow, and client-facing report generation.

Scenarios to test in your preview

  • A report must not be released without required result approvals completed.
  • A sample's chain of custody must be preserved from accession through disposal, without gaps.
  • A client must only see their own samples and reports, not other clients' data.
FAQ

Common questions about LIMS software

Who is this for?

Testing labs—environmental, clinical, industrial—that need sample-to-report traceability instead of paper logs.

Does this handle instrument integration?

Start with manually entered results, then evaluate instrument integration once the accessioning and approval workflow is proven.
