LabCollector API Technology | LabCollector LIMS

Integrated API / Web Service

A new range of applications based on your LabCollector can be imagined and developed through the LabCollector API. Using the API as a backend database, the laboratory can provide remote information in external catalogs, biological resources, etc. Mobile applications can be quickly connected to the LIMS data and provide in-house dedicated solutions.

LabCollector API for external connectivity

The API is also useful in equipment integration and connectivity using I-Collector (equipment data is automatically posted to LabCollector through the API). Our API is free to use and any developer can use it. It can be used with any front-end client programming language. LabCollector API is available by default on all LabCollector v5.x and this is for FREE. Also check the Knowledge base for additional code samples.
