Software for laboratories
We help European testing, calibration, and diagnostic laboratories digitize their operations. From LIMS integration to custom lab software, built for compliance from day one.
Whether you are a veterinary diagnostic lab streamlining sample workflows, a calibration lab preparing for ISO 17025 accreditation, or a clinical lab modernizing legacy systems: we have done it before.
Custom lab software
LIMS integrations, instrument middleware, sample tracking, and custom tooling. Built around your specific laboratory workflows, not the other way around.
Compliance-ready development
Software that meets IVDR, IEC 62304, ISO 17025, and ISO 15189 requirements from day one. Validation documentation, audit trails, and change control built into the process.
Lab digitization
From workflow analysis to vendor selection and data migration. A clear path from paper-based processes to a connected, digital laboratory.
Why laboratories work with us
Most software companies don't understand labs. They build generic tools and expect you to adapt your validated workflows. We do it differently.
Compliance is not an afterthought
We've built software for ISO 17025 accredited labs, IVD manufacturers under EU IVDR, and clinical laboratories following ISO 15189. Compliance requirements are part of our development process from sprint one, not a checklist at the end.
We speak your language
Sample workflows, result validation, certificate generation, instrument integration. We understand the domain because we've worked in it. Our team works in English, German, and Dutch.
Integration, not replacement
Your lab already runs on a combination of LIMS, instruments, and manual processes. We connect these systems with middleware and custom integrations rather than forcing a full platform replacement.
European, long-term partner
Based in the Netherlands, working across Europe. We're not a project shop that disappears after delivery. Our lab clients work with us for years, because regulated software needs ongoing maintenance and evolution.
My first engineering role was at TNO, the Netherlands' largest applied research organization. That's where I learned what labs actually need from software: reliability, traceability, and zero tolerance for data integrity issues.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions from lab directors and IT managers exploring software partnerships.
Do you build LIMS systems from scratch?
Not typically. Most labs already have a LIMS or are evaluating one. We help with LIMS selection, integration with existing instruments and workflows, middleware development, and custom modules that your off-the-shelf LIMS doesn't cover. When a lab needs something truly custom, like a specialized sample tracking system for veterinary diagnostics, we build that too.
Which compliance standards do you work with?
We build software that meets ISO 17025 (testing and calibration labs), ISO 15189 (medical labs), IVDR (in-vitro diagnostics regulation), IEC 62304 (medical device software), and GLP/GMP requirements. Our development process includes validation documentation, audit trails, and change control from the start.
Can you work with our existing lab systems?
Yes. We specialize in integrating with existing LIMS platforms (LabVantage, STARLIMS, and others), laboratory instruments via HL7 or proprietary protocols, and legacy databases. We've migrated labs from paper-based workflows and connected systems that were never designed to talk to each other.
How long does a typical lab digitization project take?
It depends on scope. A LIMS integration or middleware project typically takes 3 to 6 months. A full lab workflow digitization, from order intake to certificate delivery, can take 6 to 12 months. We always start with a short assessment phase (2 to 4 weeks) to map your current workflows and define the roadmap.
Do you work with labs outside of Europe?
Our focus is on European laboratories, particularly in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Austria. We understand the regulatory landscape (EU IVDR, DAkkS accreditation, RvA) and work in English, German, and Dutch.
