WHY DIGITIZING SAMPLE MANAGEMENT MATTERS

Paper-based tracking puts data integrity and batch release at risk

  • Manual transcription introduces errors and delays

    When lab technicians write down scale readings and type them into a LIMS later, transcription errors are inevitable. Catching and correcting these mistakes requires manual QA review, which extends release cycles and drives up operational costs.

  • Lost chain of custody creates compliance gaps

    A sample moving between workstations without a digital footprint is a compliance liability. If a sample is misplaced or mislabeled, teams spend weeks reconstructing the paper trail to satisfy ALCOA requirements before an audit or batch release.

  • Rigid systems block continuous improvement

    Traditional lab execution systems impose a heavy validation burden for every minor workflow update. When changing a simple lab form requires a full validation cycle, process engineers hesitate to make improvements and lean initiatives stall.

How Tulip automates sample tracking, data capture, and lab compliance

Tulip guides lab technicians step by step, captures data directly from instruments, and maintains an unbreakable digital thread for every sample. Our platform integrates with the systems and devices you already use, ensuring complete traceability from accessioning to final analysis.

Guided Sample Handling

The Instruction Walks the Technician Through Each Step

A technician follows the same instruction at the bench every time, built from your actual SOP instead of a paper copy taped to the wall. If a result comes back outside spec, the step won't let them move forward until someone looks at it.

Automated Data Capture

The Scale's Reading Goes Straight Into the Record

A connected scale, pH meter, or bioreactor sends its reading straight into the sample record the moment it's taken. Nobody writes the number down first and types it in later, so there's no gap where a transcription error can creep in.

Laboratory connected scale integration

One Record, Audit Ready

The Batch Record Already Has the Sample's History

Every scan, reading, and sign-off updates the same record as it happens, and that's the same record that feeds the batch record downstream. Nothing needs to be pulled together after the fact, because it was already there when the sample moved through the last step.

Interrogate Your Sample Data

Ask AI Which Samples Still Need a Decision

A quality lead can ask what's still pending disposition, or which lots hit a deviation this week, in plain language, and get an answer pulled from the lab's own records instead of digging through a spreadsheet first. Someone still reviews the answer before acting on it.

Validate Only What Changes

A Change to One App Doesn't Restart Validation

Tulip comes validated with every long-term support release, documented down to what changed between versions. When your team builds or adjusts a sample workflow, only that app needs a fresh look. The platform underneath it was already validated when it shipped.

What leading life sciences manufacturers achieve with Tulip

See how pharma and biotech companies use Tulip to digitize lab operations, enforce compliance, and accelerate execution.

20% reduction in analyst hands-on time, 0 manual transcriptions

Burdened by paper records and manual reviews, Organon's IMQ labs sought a faster digital way to meet compliance. Using Tulip apps integrated with LIMS, instruments, and middleware, they automated documentation and improved data integrity across global labs.

"We had very positive feedback from all the lab analysts. They like the system. It's really easy to use. Of course, they don't have to transcribe any data anymore. And it's a self-guiding system."
