Petros Martirosian

Implementations Director

We understand and share the importance of patient care, and this is evident in the lab information system software that we design, our customer service, and our research and development. We are constantly looking for new ways to improve and simplify the laboratory's day-to-day workflow so that the focus remains on the one thing that really does matter: the patient.

Replacing Legacy Laboratory Information Systems is What We Do

Many of our clients upgraded to the LigoLab Informatics Platform from legacy LIS systems that had hard-coded features, outdated processes and workflows, and were limited to small volume and singular linear operations.

LIS Software for Growing Labs

Traditional lab information systems are sold by the number of seats or modules. Traditional LIS vendors sell you a product and are mostly hands-off. To add a new genetic test, traditionally you would need to buy a genetic module, and programmers would need to get involved.
‍
LigoLab Informatics Platform is different. Our LIS platform includes unlimited seats and is complete from the start. It comes with all the modules, features, and support you will need now and into the future. A new genetic test can be built quickly and easily.
‍
Instead of getting a full biopsy, you can accomplish the same with a scan and/or a molecular test if you incorporate them into your practice. LigoLab supports this and covers all disciplines and departments for diagnostics, making it less disruptive to the patient while enabling your lab to compete better.
‍
LigoLab is uniquely positioned as a LIS partner that helps you expand, supporting and fostering your lab's growth.

The LigoLab platform covers all disciplines and departments
New tests can be added easily
Your lab can compete better due to all the modules and features included with the platform
Automation and workflow optimization reduce your costs
Maximum data integrity and patient safety improve patient care
Your practice can increase its workload without expanding staff
