Today’s scientific landscape requires researchers to capture and manage lab data without delay. It is no longer enough for laboratories to operate only in traditional four-walled environments. Researchers are literally collecting, testing, and analyzing lab samples in the field, in mobile testing facilities, and remote research labs.
Despite the advancements in working with data in non-standard lab spaces, many laboratories are still faced with the main challenge of uninterrupted data workflows in spaces that do not have internet or a reliable internet connection.
Introducing LabVantage Mobile App IoT, a game-changing solution that seamlessly bridges offline and online lab environments. With this technology, you’ll be able to easily continue your lab data workflows, whether you a are online or totally offline.
The Challenge: Disconnected Lab Environments
Consider a field technician collecting water samples in a rural area or a mobile testing lab in response to an outbreak in an isolated community.
In these scenarios, network connectivity may be intermittent, or even non-existent. So, if data cannot be entered in real-time, teams are left to juggle pen-and-paper records or rely on spreadsheets to track their activities.
The consequences? Data loss, delays in reporting, and manual reconciliation errors that compromise both productivity and compliance. These disconnected workflows introduce friction where there should be fluidity, and in regulated industries, that can spell serious risk.
That’s why laboratories need a solution that supports continuous data capture, no matter the conditions.
Introducing LabVantage Mobile App IoT: The Best of Both Worlds
LabVantage Mobile App IoT is designed precisely for this challenge. Whether you’re deep in the field or just outside your lab’s Wi-Fi range, this mobile app lets you capture, monitor, and manage lab data from anywhere, even when offline.
The app’s automatic synchronization means that the moment your device reconnects, all your offline data integrates flawlessly into the main LabVantage LIMS platform. There are no additional steps, and your data has no chance of being duplicated or missing. The app functions on smartphones and tablets and boasts of a simple, clean user interface that is tailored for lab workflows and allows users to move easily from task to task; sampling, monitoring equipment, conducting an inventory check, with a few taps.
Core Features That Keep Data Flowing
Here’s how LabVantage Mobile App IoT delivers real impact through powerful functionality:
- Offline Data Capture & Sync: Log sample details, test results, equipment statuses, and more; even when you’re out of range. The app automatically syncs this data once a connection is restored, maintaining continuity without compromise.
- Real-Time IoT Device Integration: Monitor sensors and various IoT-enabled instruments remotely through the app! Access live sensor readings and alerts in your app. Trigger pre-set workflows based on incoming sensor data from your mobile device!
- Sample and Inventory Management: Track samples through barcode capturing or IoT-enabled sensors. Track sample locations and inventory levels in real-time to! Ensure materials are where they’re needed, how they’re needed, when they need it!
- Automated Alerts & Notifications: Stay in the loop with alerts for out-of-spec results, equipment maintenance needs, or test completions. Notifications are stored and delivered once a connection is available, so no message gets lost.
- Secure Data Handling: All the data we handle is secure from beginning to end with end-to-end encryption and compliance with industry standards like 21 CFR Part 11 and GDPR. Your data is safe whether on or off the platform. All the data we handle is secure from start to finish with end-to-end encryption and compliance with industry standards like 21 CFR Part 11 and GDPR. Your data is safe whether on or off the platform.
- Role-Based Access Control: You define how your team can access work on the platform by user role. Technicians, supervisors, and managers only see the things they need to access work, and you minimize the risk of others seeing anything more than what is required to do their role.
- Key Features:
- 100% Digital Chain of Custody
- Compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ISO 17025, GMP/GLP
- Wireless and Paperless Workflows
- OCR Smart AI Camera and AR
Real-World Benefits: Transforming Lab Operations
The practical advantages of LabVantage Mobile App IoT are immediate and measurable:
- Reduction in errors from re-entering handwritten data
- Faster turnaround time on urgent test results
- Better collaboration between lab and field teams
- Better compliance with timely and accurate data capture
Why Mobile Matters: Flexibility and Agility in the Lab
Today’s labs are no longer bound by walls or geography. Teams are now able to be much more mobile and the need to access data anywhere at any time has substantially evolved.
Non-STOP LabVantage Mobile App IoT allows you to manage samples, monitor instruments, and receive alerts at all points whether on a remote testing site, in a production facility, or at a decentralized lab. This type of mobility all means faster decisions, has less disruptions, and allows for higher employee autonomy.
Having all the power LIMS has to offer in the palm of your hands is transformational, not just timely.
Getting Started with LabVantage Mobile App IoT
Deploying the app is simple and doesn’t require a lot of IT resources:
- Download the app from your preferred app marketplace.
- Pair any/all your devices (smartphones, tablets, or IoT instruments) with your existing LabVantage LIMS system.
- Access the onboarding tools, training opportunities, and technical support to get started quickly.
This mobile app works with LabVantage configurations you’ve already established, so that you can have business continuity in the same place and have a stepped approach to scaling up.
The IoT Success Story:
Abluo, a chemical start-up based in São Paulo, specializes in developing innovative copper nanoparticle technologies for an expanding its client base.
- Six months post-implementation of LabVantage Mobile App IoT, Abluo’s measurable outcomes clearly demonstrated the solution’s transformative impact:
- Thirteen new R&D projects transitioned successfully from conceptualization to active execution under the new LIMS-ELN-Mobile enable workflow, totally digital and with zero integrity risks, when compared to a similar period prior to implementation due to manual paperwork constraints.
- These initiatives collectively yield approximately 43 formulations and batches monthly, all systematically captured, tracked, and synchronized seamlessly to the central LabVantage platform.
- Abluo projects an error-reduction potential of up to 100% for samples shipped to customers; because every decision now relies on complete, validated data, only samples that meet 100% of the required parameters are released. For in-lab synthesis operations, the team has observed an approximately 70% decline in documentation and transcription errors, a gain made possible by eliminating manual re-keying and establishing a continuous digital audit trail.
- Project and sample visibility have substantially improved, with full data access available via LIMS, ELN and mobile devices, even offline. Formulations can be linked with templates, samples, attachments, and GPS coordinates when needed, significantly enhancing traceability with minimal additional effort.
