Powerful Data Management Designed for the Microbiology Laboratory

With LabPro Information Manager, powerful management of laboratory test results from order to LIS transmission is just a few mouse clicks away. Using an intuitive, customizable interface, data is streamlined and organized from MicroScan instruments, enabling faster workflow and delivery of test results.

• Allows laboratories to adapt work processes to specific requirements using customizable alerts, rules and analysis
• Enables detailed data analysis and reporting by exporting data to spreadsheets, graphing software and databases
• Allows accurate reporting through user-defined alerts that direct laboratory staff to take immediate corrective action
• Records actions taken to resolve atypical results, simplifying auditing and enhancing quality control

Manage microbiology laboratory data with ease

LabPro Information Manager helps today’s busy microbiology laboratories quickly and easily organize their data. This powerful system, designed by medical technologists, helps laboratory technologists streamline their workflow and make efficient use of their time.

LabPro is included with all MicroScan instrument systems and can be used as a standalone application by manual panel users. LabPro Alert_EX System software extends the functionality of LabPro by automating atypical results detection. LabPro Internet-based training—a standard addition to the LabPro system—provides a comprehensive, structured learning experience, enabling laboratory personnel to gain document proficiency and earn CE credits.
