Integrations

Connect every instrument, system and data platform

HDLIMS is API-first. Every capability is available through documented APIs, and proven integration patterns connect your instruments and enterprise systems without brittle custom code.

What connects

Integration across the lab and the enterprise

From the balance on the bench to the ERP in the cloud, HDLIMS exchanges data in real time with full traceability.

Bench instruments

Balances, pH and conductivity meters, titrators, Karl Fischer, UV-Vis, FTIR, plate readers, particle counters and more.

  • Serial (RS-232) and USB via the HDLIMS agent
  • Network and file-based capture
  • SiLA 2 for compatible devices

Chromatography & scientific software

Chromatography data systems, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy and other instrument control software.

  • Bidirectional: sample lists out, results in
  • Raw data and reports preserved in SDMS
  • AnIML and Allotrope (ASM) support

ERP & supply chain

Inspection lots, batch status, usage decisions, material master data and certificates of analysis.

  • Event-driven APIs and middleware
  • Standard integration patterns for common ERP platforms
  • Idempotent, monitored message flows

MES & manufacturing

In-process control sampling, electronic batch records, process historians and plant systems.

  • REST APIs and webhooks
  • OPC UA for plant-floor data
  • Real-time result return to the line

Clinical systems

Orders and results with electronic health records, hospital information systems and billing.

  • HL7 v2 messaging
  • FHIR R4 resources
  • ASTM / LIS2-A2 for analyzers

Quality & enterprise systems

Enterprise QMS, document management, learning management and identity systems.

  • Linked CAPA and change records
  • Training status synchronization
  • SAML 2.0, OIDC and SCIM

Data & analytics platforms

Data lakes, warehouses, BI tools and data science environments.

  • Governed read-only data access
  • Event streams for near real-time pipelines
  • Bulk export in open formats

Customer & partner portals

Sample submission and result delivery for contract labs, suppliers and internal customers.

  • Secure web portal
  • API access for client systems
  • Automated report distribution

For developers

An API for everything the UI can do

Documented REST APIs with OpenAPI specifications, webhooks for events, sandbox environments for development, and the same permissions and audit trail as the user interface.

  • OAuth 2.0 client credentials for system integrations
  • Webhooks for events such as result approval and status changes
  • Every API call attributable and recorded in the audit trail
  • Versioned APIs with deprecation notice periods

FAQ

Integration questions

Does HDLIMS integrate with our chromatography data system?
Yes. HDLIMS supports bidirectional CDS integration: sample sequences are sent to the CDS and approved results, together with reports and raw data references, are returned to HDLIMS. Specific connectors depend on your CDS and version; we confirm them during discovery.
How do you connect older instruments?
The HDLIMS integration agent runs on a local PC or gateway and connects to serial, USB and network instruments, as well as file-based outputs. It buffers data securely if the network is unavailable.
Is there a public API?
Yes. All HDLIMS functionality is available through documented REST APIs, governed by the same permissions and audit trail as the user interface. Webhooks notify external systems of events such as result approval.
Who builds and maintains integrations?
Our services team or certified partners can deliver integrations as part of your project, or your own developers can build on our APIs. Integrations are monitored and versioned so upgrades do not break them.
