OMNI-Lab Newborn Screening LIMS
Specialized NBS LIMS designed by lab people, for lab people
OMNI-Lab Newborn Screening (NBS) Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is a complete single database LIMS that meets all of the requirements of the NBS laboratory. With an all-inclusive, fully-integrated design, users avoid the challenges of add-on modules and can seamlessly manage tests, results, reporting, and follow-up information.
The OMNI-Lab NBS LIMS has patient-centric features and is not card- or sample-centric, enabling intuitive workflows to help laboratorians, clerks, and follow up staff become more efficient. From patient and card registration through results entry and authorization to report delivery, the OMNI-Lab NBS LIMS provides all the features necessary to successfully manage the newborn screening program.

Designed with the patient in mind
From its inception, OMNI-Lab NBS was designed with patient-centric features. While other LIMS systems have sample ID numbers as their top-level hierarchy, OMNI-Lab NBS is designed around patient data, allowing better visibility and information management. With OMNI-Lab NBS:
- Results are viewed at the patient level, not as individual samples.
- Duplicates, repeat samples, and sendaway/referral/POCT samples are all connected to the patient.
- You have a clearer picture with visibility into family units. If an older sibling was positive during a previous screen, the newborn sibling can be flagged as a critical sample and processed accordingly.
Define the workflow that’s best for your lab
Every lab has unique and changing needs, and each lab can decide what is best for the patients they serve. Why should a lab contact its LIMS provider to make a simple cut-off value change? And why should it be charged to add a new test on its existing equipment? OMNI-Lab NBS, built on decades of clinical laboratory experience, is fully user-configurable and enables labs to define and adjust their own workflow based on individual needs and challenges.
- The rules wizard and configuration tools enable addition of new tests, and workflow logic including sample repeats and automatic notifications.
- All test cut-off values and reference ranges are fully user-defined, eliminating the need to schedule and pay for changes.
- Staff with appropriate security can configure OMNI-Lab from any accessible computer with minimal IT involvement.
- System changes are fully traceable and reversible.
Connect to a range of punchers, analyzers, and lab equipment
OMNI-Lab NBS flexibly adapts to your workflow and your choice of instrumentation, whether you are setting up a new lab, replacing older equipment, or upgrading your LIMS system. OMNI-Lab NBS is vendor-agnostic and effortlessly interfaces with your equipment, including dried blood spot punchers, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry systems, and molecular testing platforms.
Flexible entry, reporting, and review for changing lab environments
OMNI-Lab NBS LIMS is a fully Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)-compliant database, allowing searching, filtering, sorting, and reporting across all data elements. With Omni-Lab NBS, you can:
- Streamline data entry with automated analyzer interfaces, worksheet entry, on-screen manual entry, or file import.
- Easily view and configure reports and results from the lab bench, office, on the go, or from home using a secure web connection to OMNI-Lab NBS.
- Deliver reports specific to the referring organization through print, fax, email, HL7, and other electronic messaging.
- Create and maintain letters, queries, and reports with built-in data mining technologies.
