Laboperator – Feature Overview
Connecting lab automation, science and research to bring greater structure, visibility and control to modern laboratory operations.
Managing laboratory operations through software
Laboratory research depends on the reliable interaction of instruments, processes and information. The ability to manage data flows, automate procedures and maintaintraceability is a requirement of controlled laboratory operations.
Laboperator provides software infrastructure that connects laboratory equipment, workflows and data within a single environment. The platform enables organisations to monitor devices, automate procedures and manage measurement data while controlling users, resources and system access.
Laboratory instruments generate data, but its usefulness depends on how effectively it is captured, structured and integrated into research processes.
From experimental workflow to documented evidence
Laboperator provides real-time dashboards for monitoring laboratory activity, allowing users to configure views of devices, measurements and operational parameters. Data isrecorded with timestamps, exported in standard formats and maintained with event logging to support traceability.
The platform enables laboratory procedures to be defined as workflows that respond to device signals, user inputs or predefined conditions. These workflows coordinate processsteps and instrument activity through a consistent digital framework.
Laboperator connects laboratory devices through USB, RS232 and Ethernet interfaces. Using Connector Box and Virtual Connector technologies, the platform supports devicecommunication, driver management, port monitoring and equipment simulation.
Quality control through compliance and data integrity
Structured measurement records support laboratory data management and integration. Laboperator provides RESTful APIs, OAuth 2.0 security and OpenAPI documentation for integration with laboratory information management systems (LIMS), electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) and third-party applications.
The platform provides user roles, permissions and resource collections to control access to devices, workflows and dashboards. Audit trails, archiving functions and controlledsharing support laboratory governance and traceability.
Laboperator is built on a modular, Docker-based architecture incorporating RabbitMQ, Redis, PostgreSQL and WebSocket communication components. The architecture supportsdeployment across laboratory environments with requirements for integration, scalability and controlled access.
Laboperator provides a software platform that unifies laboratory equipment, workflows and data systems within a single operational framework.
