Your lab runs dozens of tests daily. But can you actually calculate what each one costs you?
Most labs struggle to connect operational activities with financial realities. Sample tracking happens in one system, instrument time isn't tracked at all, reagent costs are estimates, and billable hours? Good luck reconstructing those.
The result: You're either undercharging and losing money, or overcharging and losing clients.
A well-implemented LIMS doesn't just organize your science—it transforms your financial visibility. Automatically track actual reagent consumption per test (not estimates), true equipment utilization and costs, staff time allocation across projects, and complete cost-per-sample calculations.
When you know what things actually cost, you can price services accurately, identify inefficiencies, and demonstrate ROI to stakeholders with real data instead of spreadsheets and guesswork.
Read our latest article to discover how modern LIMS bridges the gap between laboratory operations and financial management, turning your lab from a cost center into a profit-optimized operation.
