Unleashing Laboratory Excellence: Here’s How LigoLab’s Automation Engine Supercharges Lab Performance

In the high-stakes world of clinical laboratory management and advanced diagnostics, speed, precision, and compliance are no longer luxuries—they’re non-negotiables. Medical laboratories must deliver with military-grade reliability amid rising demand, growing complexity, and constant regulatory oversight. At the heart of meeting these challenges lies automation as a critical differentiator, and no laboratory information system (LIS) software platform empowers labs with a more flexible, end-to-end platform than LigoLab.

Revolutionizing Laboratory Workflow Management Through Intelligent LIS System Automation

LigoLab’s rule-based automation engine isn’t just another lab tool—it’s a transformational force. It executes thousands of logic-driven decisions in real-time, seamlessly routing, validating, and finalizing lab data and results with surgical accuracy. From order entry to lab billing, the automation engine embedded within LigoLab’s modern LIS system is designed to eliminate bottlenecks, reduce human error, and maximize throughput without compromising compliance.

“Our LIS software platform was built on the belief that labs shouldn’t have to choose between efficiency and growth,” said Suren Avunjian, LigoLab CEO. “With automation at the core, we give laboratories the power to scale intelligently while maintaining full control and compliance.”

Power Features That Set LigoLab Apart

What makes LigoLab’s automation engine truly stand out is its intelligent design and unmatched versatility. Built to streamline every phase of the diagnostic process, LigoLab delivers a suite of advanced features that transform complex lab workflows into simplified, seamless, and scalable operations. These core laboratory information system functions not only reduce manual intervention and human error but also ensure labs stay compliant, efficient, and ready to grow. 

Here’s a closer look at the exceptional features that set LigoLab apart.

• Discrete Data Element Control: from specimen type, test result, and ordering physician to payer, location, and timestamp - is exposed to the Rule Engine, giving users complete control over how the platform behaves under any condition.
• Trigger-Based Workflows: Automatically execute the next step as predefined conditions are met, eliminating delays and decision fatigue.
• Automated Validation Rules: Real-time business logic validates every specimen, order, and result instantly.
• Auto-QC and Audit Trails: Built-in quality checkpoints and audit logs ensure continuous compliance with minimal manual oversight.
• Self-Healing Processes: Exceptions are flagged and addressed automatically before they escalate, keeping workflows proactive and resilient.

“We’ve encoded decades of lab intelligence into our automation framework,” Avunjian noted. “This ensures that labs can grow without chaos and perform at the highest level, even with lean staffing.”

Why It Matters Now

Labs today are under immense pressure: declining reimbursements, rising operational costs, and ongoing workforce shortages. In this environment, automation is essential to survival.

“The labs that thrive tomorrow will be the ones investing in intelligent automation today,” said Avunjian. 

Real-World Examples of Automation Driving Lab Success

So, what does advanced LIS lab automation look like in practice? 

Across the country, labs of all sizes and specialties are using LigoLab’s laboratory information system platform to modernize their operations and drive measurable improvements. Whether it’s reducing pre-analytical errors in high-volume molecular testing, accelerating case routing in anatomic pathology, or ensuring airtight compliance in toxicology, LigoLab’s automation capabilities are delivering real-world results.

Below are three examples that illustrate how LigoLab is helping its partners achieve operational excellence supported by the best LIS software automation, even in the face of growing industry pressures.

1. Pre-Analytical Optimization at a High-Volume

One LigoLab customer, a molecular diagnostics lab, successfully processed tens of thousands of PCR tests per day during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lab achieved this in large part by automating its order intake process. 

2. Automated Case Assignment

An anatomic pathology practice partnered with LigoLab to automate case assignment and specimen routing based on subspecialty, workload balancing, and turnaround time targets. The medical LIS automatically assigned cases to the appropriate pathologist as soon as the specimen was accessioned, drastically cutting administrative lag and improving turnaround time.

3. Streamlined Compliance 

A toxicology laboratory leveraged LigoLab’s Auto-QC feature to automate quality control checks and generate comprehensive audit trails for every step of the testing process. With real-time alerts and automatic flagging of out-of-range results, the lab was able to identify instrument issues early and prevent the release of inaccurate results. What once required days to complete (manual internal audits) was now accomplished in just hours, thanks to full traceability and built-in compliance throughout the clinical lab workflow.
