Product · Test Requests & Job Tracking

From “can you test this?” to done — tracked the whole way

Engineers submit test requests directly to the lab. The lab triages, schedules, and executes. Everyone sees status in real time, so nobody has to ask.

Requests come in structured, not scattered

Instead of emails, phone calls, and hallway conversations, requesters submit testing through LIMSey with everything the lab needs up front: samples, tests, priorities, and attachments. Request templates for well-defined testing mean fewer mistakes and less back-and-forth — the template is checked and verified before it's ever made available to requesters.

Status in real time — nobody has to ask

The Jobs list shows every job in the lab with its status, task progress, assignees, and due dates. Saved views like active work, rush jobs, and awaiting review keep the queue organized, and expanding a job shows the full picture — its timeline from submission to estimated completion and the latest updates from the team. Requesters check status themselves instead of emailing the lab.

Every job on one board

Customizable kanban boards give your team a real-time view of every job in the lab — by status, requester, tag, or whatever matters to your workflow. Create the columns and filters that match how your lab operates, share boards with collaborators, and stop answering "where's my job?" emails.

Tasks make the invisible work visible

Testing is the headline, but setup, teardown, sample receiving, and reviews are where jobs quietly stall. LIMSey breaks each job into tasks assigned to specific people, so required steps — including the requester and manager reviews that ISO/IEC 17025 calls for — are explicit, prioritized, and never forgotten.

  • Task templates standardize repeat work
  • Built-in discussions keep questions attached to the job
  • Delay tracking shows where jobs get stuck and why
  • Integrated search finds any sample, result, or historical record
  • Public request forms — share a link and take submissions from anyone, no account required
  • Configurable notification rules keep requesters informed automatically — without anyone writing an email

Standardize once, reuse forever

Save templates for tests, tasks, and entire projects. Requesters pick from verified templates instead of describing work from scratch — saving time on every request and preventing mistakes before they reach the lab.
