MARCH 6, 2025 - BOSTON, MA – Tulip, a leader in frontline operations solutions, today announced the launch of the Composable App Suite for Lab Operations, a flexible and configurable solution designed to help labs digitize workflows, enhance traceability, and improve operational efficiency. This suite allows labs to create integrated, tailored solutions for lab management, standardizing methods, and tracking instruments—going beyond traditional Lab Execution Systems (LES) and Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS). Built on an extension of the common data model, labs can easily integrate any app from the Tulip Library, allowing for rapid implementation, scalable expansion into new use cases, and maintaining data consistency across all sites.
Modern labs face increasing regulatory pressures, including ISO 17025, GMP, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11, while striving for greater efficiency. Many labs still rely on paper-based processes, legacy LIMS solutions, and siloed data, leading to inefficiencies and compliance risks. The Composable App Suite for Lab Operations addresses these challenges with three integrated app suites designed to align with GxP principles, ensuring data integrity, traceability, and regulatory compliance.
“Laboratories need flexibility, real-time data, and the ability to continuously improve their operations. Legacy systems simply can’t keep up,” said Dr. Roey Mechrez, Head of Ecosystem at Tulip. “With Tulip’s no-code, composable platform, labs can now digitize and automate workflows at unprecedented speed, seamlessly integrating with their existing systems, and IoT-enabled devices.”
Transforming Lab Operations
Leading pharmaceutical and biotech companies are already leveraging Tulip’s solutions to modernize their lab operations and improve efficiency.
An American pharmaceutical company integrated Tulip as an LES alongside Labware LIMS and Tetra Science’s TDP to digitize material and equipment management, connect to lab equipment, and automate workflows. This reduced manual data entry by 15%, cut time spent on data review, and improved GMP compliance.
A fast-growing biotech company used Tulip to augment their ELN with tailored lab automation apps, integrating barcode scanners and guided workflows for inventory and buffer preparation. This eliminated manual inventory updates, increased traceability, and reduced human error in buffer preparation by 50%.
Unlike traditional LIMS and LES solutions, which are often rigid and require significant customization, Tulip’s Composable App Suite enables labs to quickly adapt to changing regulations, optimize their workflows, and maintain real-time visibility into operations—all while ensuring GxP compliance, data integrity, and full traceability to meet regulatory expectations.
In addition to its flexibility, Tulip’s platform is designed to support labs with multiple sites, enabling seamless information and knowledge sharing across the globe. This approach not only enhances collaboration but also accelerates deployment, as standardized methods and SOPs can be easily replicated across locations—eliminating the need to redevelop processes from scratch.
Integrated Workflows on a Single Platform: Connect lab operations from sample tracking to data capture with apps that share the same data.
Audit Trails Enhanced Through Automation: Ensure compliance with real-time data capture from barcode scanners, cameras, and IoT devices.
Dynamic Digital Guidance: Standardize procedures with interactive work instructions that reduce human error and enhance productivity.
Configurable Apps Without Code: Adapt to changing lab requirements with no-code tools, reducing reliance on IT.
Scalable, Multi-Site Deployment: Share data and apps across multiple sites to enhance collaboration and standardize best practices.
