Welcome
X-Lab has a new approach to sending pathology samples between UK laboratories based on the idea that commercial messaging software can make the process simpler, faster and safer.
Look, No Hands
Lab2Lab cuts out much of the manual work of typing, reading and re-typing that typifies the send-away process. Our sample management system requires less effort and reduces the frequency of errors.
Help With Shipping
Lab2Lab manages the batching of samples into shipments, tracks packages through to receipt at the reference lab and alerts users to missing and damaged samples.
Any Lab to Any Lab
Any pathology lab in the UK can use Lab2Lab simply by registering. It’s that easy. The Lab2Lab servers run from within N3 and to use the system you just need a standard web browser like Internet Explorer - if you’re looking at this then you’ve got all you need! There’s no training course, no manual, no installation, no fuss. Contact us for a trial account and we'll get you started.
LIMS Integration
Lab2Lab uses HL7 version 3 for its messages but can pick up and convert from any Laboratory Information Management System, and even without an interface you can still use the online version (though obviously there’s more typing involved). Interfaces with Apex and Telepath have now been developed and interfaces to more systems will be coming soon.
