Why Clinical Laboratorys Lose Hours Every Week
Clinical laboratories process hundreds of samples daily and must maintain precise chain-of-custody tracking while communicating results promptly to ordering clinicians. Automation reduces manual logging errors, accelerates result notification, and keeps referring practices informed in real time.
Sample tracking between collection, processing, and result stages is done manually and prone to errors
Critical result notification to ordering physicians is delayed, creating clinical and legal risk
Referring practice relationship management is ad hoc with no systematic communication cadence
Invoicing and payment collection from ordering practices is slow and manually processed
The Clinical Laboratory Automation System
Production-grade n8n workflows built specifically for clinical laboratory businesses. Every workflow handles edge cases, retries on failure, and alerts you when something needs attention.
Sample Chain-of-Custody Logging
Each sample scan event is automatically logged in Airtable with timestamp, handler, and status, providing a real-time chain-of-custody record accessible to authorised staff.

Critical Result Alert System
When a result outside critical thresholds is entered, an immediate automated alert is sent to the ordering physician via SMS and email, with acknowledgement tracking to ensure receipt.
Time saved
3h/week
Impact
Reduces critical result notification time from 30 minutes to under 5 minutes
Result Ready Notification
Ordering clinicians receive an automated SMS and email notification when routine results are finalised, with a secure link to view the full report in the laboratory portal.

Clinical Laboratory Automation — Common Questions
How are critical thresholds defined for the alert system?
Thresholds are configured per test type based on your laboratory's clinical protocols and can be updated by the lab director at any time.
Can the result notification system handle different access levels for different ordering practices?
Yes, each practice has its own secure access credentials and can only view results for their own patients.
How does the invoicing automation handle complex billing arrangements with different practices?
Each ordering practice can have a custom pricing schedule and billing cycle configured in the system, with invoices generated accordingly.
