When starting LSM usage, it is essential to start with the customization steps. You need to create your assays catalog, customers, result parameters and more. These items interact with each other in multiple ways; therefore the steps order for the initial setup is important. Some portions of the LSM cannot be customized without first setting up others. Helper text appears frequently throughout the LSM. Additionally the LSM requires records to exist within the Equipment and Reagent & Supplies modules of LabCollector.

Additionally, the LabCollector knowledge base provides additional information on specific usage and setup scenarios for the LSM.


The general order for a first time setup is the creation/modification of:


  • Users/requesters
  • Reagents and equipment
  • Protocols and sample types
  • Test parameters
  • Result and invoice templates
  • Test/Assay
