Still configuring your LIMS? Try LABLION RLIS.

LABLION RLIS is a research laboratory information system for pharmaceutical and biotech labs. It was built with scientists and QC staff at Genzyme/Sanofi and AbbVie and validated under GxP and 21 CFR Part 11, so your lab starts with research workflows that already work instead of years of LIMS configuration.

LABLION RLIS vs LIMS for Pharma Research Labs

RLIS vs LabVantage, LabWare, STARLIMS and SampleManager

A traditional LIMS such as LabVantage, LabWare, STARLIMS or Thermo Fisher SampleManager is a general platform that each lab often spends months or years configuring before it fits research work. LABLION RLIS was designed for pharmaceutical research from the start: specimen registration, chain of custody, assays, results, audit trails and reports come ready and are tuned with your scientists, not built from scratch.

Proven in pharma: Genzyme/Sanofi and AbbVie

LABLION RLIS was built and validated for pharmaceutical specimen testing and analysis at Genzyme/Sanofi and AbbVie research laboratories. Working with scientists and QC staff, the team turned paper and legacy methods into electronic methods and worksheets; in the first research deployment alone, 90+ controlled GLP paper forms and logs became electronic workflows.

Validated under GxP and 21 CFR Part 11

RLIS was validated under GxP and 21 CFR Part 11 at Genzyme/Sanofi and AbbVie, with secure time-stamped audit trails, electronic signatures, role-based access control and data integrity built in. Validation packages cover test scripts, IQ/OQ/PQ and change control, ready for FDA and GLP inspection.

Translational research: from sample to slide to image

For translational and preclinical research, RLIS tracks every sample from registration through IHC assays, slide scanning and image acquisition, with barcodes on tubes, blocks and slides. It shares the same specimen tracking, IHC and digital pathology engine as LABLION's anatomic pathology LIS, so research data is captured with clinical-grade rigor.

Open system: works alongside your LIMS, ELN and instruments

RLIS is open and vendor-neutral. It has run together with StarLIMS and BioELN, exchanging data so each system does what it does best, and connects to instruments from Thermo Fisher, Roche/Ventana, Agilent/Dako and Leica. Interfaces use HL7, FHIR, database and file connections through Mirth Connect, so RLIS fits into the lab you already have.

Training, SOPs and a team that owns the system

Every RLIS project includes hands-on training for scientists and QC staff, plus the SOPs and work instructions your team needs to run and support the system on its own. Workflows are configured with your lab, validated with your QA group, and migrated from paper or legacy systems without losing history.

RLIS FAQ for Pharma Labs

Common questions from pharmaceutical and biotech research labs comparing LABLION RLIS with LabVantage, LabWare, STARLIMS and other LIMS.

Yes. RLIS is a research laboratory information system with pharma workflows, audit trails and reporting ready to use, so labs that don't want a long LIMS configuration project can start with RLIS. Labs that already run a LIMS can also run RLIS alongside it.


Yes. RLIS was validated under GxP and 21 CFR Part 11 at Genzyme/Sanofi and AbbVie, with audit trails, electronic signatures, access controls, test scripts, IQ/OQ/PQ and change control.


Yes. RLIS is an open system. It has run together with StarLIMS and BioELN, and it connects to LabVantage, other LIMS and ELN platforms, and instruments from Thermo Fisher, Roche/Ventana, Agilent/Dako and Leica through HL7, FHIR, database and file interfaces.


We work with your scientists and QC staff to turn paper forms, logs and legacy methods into electronic methods and worksheets, migrate existing data, validate with your QA group, and train your team with SOPs and work instructions. In the first research deployment, 90+ controlled GLP paper forms and logs moved into RLIS.
