Laboratory interfacing

Connect your laboratory analyzers to your LIS — no more manual re-entry.

We interface laboratory instruments with your laboratory information system or software, so orders go to the analyzers and results come back automatically.

In short

Nexaitek connects laboratory analyzers and instruments to laboratory information systems (LIS) and custom software. We handle serial and network connections, standard protocols such as ASTM and HL7, bidirectional exchange of worklists and results, and validation workflows — so results arrive automatically and transcription errors disappear.

Who it is for

  • Medical and clinical laboratories connecting analyzers to their LIS
  • Hospitals and clinics integrating lab results into patient records
  • Industrial, food and environmental quality-control laboratories
  • LIS and healthcare software vendors that need instrument drivers

What we build

Everything between the analyzer and your software.

Analyzer connectivity

Serial (RS-232) and network (TCP/IP) connections to hematology, biochemistry, immunology and other analyzers.

Bidirectional exchange

Worklists sent to the analyzer, results sent back to your LIS automatically.

ASTM & HL7 protocols

Implementation of the standard laboratory protocols and instrument-specific variants.

Result validation

Validation rules, flags and review screens before results reach the patient record.

Traceability & history

A full log of messages, results and changes for audits and quality requirements.

LIS & HIS integration

Integration with your laboratory information system, hospital information system or custom software.

How interfacing works

From the sample to the validated result.

Each step runs automatically, with a full trace of every message.

01

Order

The test request is created in your LIS or software.

02

Worklist

The interface sends the worklist to the analyzer, matched to the sample barcode.

03

Results

The analyzer returns results via ASTM or HL7; the interface checks and translates them.

04

Validation

Results are stored, flagged if needed and validated in your LIS — no manual re-entry.

How we work

From requirements to a tool your team relies on.

One senior team from the first conversation to long-term maintenance.

01

Understand

We map your requirements, constraints, existing tools and what success looks like — before any code is written.

02

Design

We plan the architecture and design the screens with you, so you see the product before it is built.

03

Build & deploy

We develop in weekly milestones, test with real data, and deploy to the cloud or your own servers.

04

Maintain & evolve

We monitor, fix, and improve the system over time, so it keeps working as your needs grow.

FAQ

Common questions

It is the connection between laboratory analyzers and your laboratory information system (LIS). Instead of typing results by hand, orders are sent to the instruments and results come back automatically, which saves time and removes transcription errors.

We work with the standard laboratory protocols ASTM (E1381/E1394, LIS2-A2) and HL7, over serial (RS-232) or TCP/IP connections, and adapt to instrument-specific variants.

Yes. We build interfaces that connect your analyzers to your current LIS or hospital system, or to custom laboratory software we develop for you.

Yes. Bidirectional interfaces send worklists to the analyzer and receive results automatically. Unidirectional mode (results only) is also possible for instruments that do not support worklists.

It depends on the number and models of instruments, the protocols they use and the system they connect to. Send us your instrument list and we will reply with a clear, free estimate.
