Powering high-throughput genomics with speed, accuracy, and scale Genomics laboratories are under pressure to manage increasingly complex workflows, high data volumes, and evolving regulatory demands—all while facing staffing shortages and fragmented systems. Manual processes and disconnected tools hinder efficiency, accuracy, and scalability, making it harder to deliver timely, high-quality results that support precision medicine. Designed […]
Streamlining complexity and enabling excellence Clinical laboratories are at a critical inflection point. Faced with rising test volumes, tighter turnaround expectations, and increasingly complex multi-site operations, lab leaders must also navigate growing demands for digitalisation, automation, and advanced analytics. Yet many are still constrained by a legacy laboratory information system (LIS) that’s costly, rigid, and […]
Supporting laboratories for over 45 years For over 45 years, Clinisys continues to supply transformational informatics solutions to over 7,000 laboratories across 42 countries helping enable healthier and safer communities around the world. Clinisys does this by helping laboratories innovate to maximize through-put, quality and manage their core data assets inside and beyond the walls […]
Molecular, Point-of-Care Abstract Point-of-care testing (POCT) technology continues to advance at a fast pace, making it easier to shrink complex testing platforms into point-of-care (POC) devices. By testing at a molecular level, the accuracy of the results far surpasses previous POCT methodologies. Molecular POCT devices allow quick, easy-to-use testing in near-patient scenarios where a rapid […]
As part of the pandemic management in France, detecting and tracing Covid-19 cases is critical for a successful recovery from the crisis and the protection of the French people. This is the purpose of the national SI-DEP (Système d’Informations de DEPistage) project implemented by the French Ministry of Health and Solidarity, which selected and commissioned CliniSys | MIPS, in partnership with the AP-HP hospital group, for this task. The CyberLab electronic order entry and result consultation system is at the heart of SI-DEP’s IT platform.

Steve Abbs is working as a genomics consultant with CliniSys. In the first of a series of blogs on the developing field of genomic testing and precision medicine, he argues how the genomics laboratory hubs being set up in England can benefit from deploying a modern LIMS to enable them to run more efficiently, deliver results effectively to clinicians, and lay the IT foundations for precision medicine.
Experts working for Severn Pathology at North Bristol NHS Trust have helped to create new modules for the WinPath Enterprise laboratory information system to support the delivery of the National Newborn Blood Spot Screening Programme and donor-recipient matching for organ donation.
What can the mobilising genomics laboratory hubs learn from the more advanced pathology networks? CliniSys marketing manager Matthew Fouracre put the question to programme manager Tony Oliver and genomics consultant Steve Abbs, who agreed the first lesson would be: implement a single laboratory information system to drive standardisation.
One of the major drivers for forming genomic laboratory hubs is to ensure quality at scale and equitable testing, by encouraging greater standardisation. However, CliniSys genomics consultant Steve Abbs argues that hubs in themselves will struggle to achieve this, and other drivers and facilitators are needed – not least a single LIMS.
