The foundation for modern forensic laboratories
Helix LIMS™ is a fully configurable platform for laboratory information management designed and refined by working DNA analysts. Built to support modern forensic DNA operations, Helix LIMS consolidates information tracking and processing, reduces manual data handling, and provides a single secure platform for managing every step of the DNA workflow.
Built to support the forensic DNA workflow and integrate with existing LIMS environments, Helix LIMS reduces errors, improves traceability, and gives laboratories real-time operational control without relying on spreadsheets or disconnected tools.
Modular Capabilities Built for Forensic DNA Laboratories
Helix LIMS is composed of configurable modules that can be enabled and tailored to deliver specific operational benefits, including:
- Database Module: Centralized DNA profile management with bulk searching, side-by-side comparisons, customizable amplification kits, STRmix imports, and dynamic database segmentation to support investigative and quality-control needs.
- Laboratory Module: End-to-end case, sample, and worksheet management that automates experiment planning, inventory levels, instrument setup files, cross-contamination checks, and integrated population statistics.
- Logistics Module: Comprehensive tracking of evidence packages, chemicals, supplies, vendors, and equipment, with barcode labeling, SDS storage, automated alerts for low or expiring stock, and audit-ready inventory reporting.
- Client Manager Module: Centralized management of submitting agencies or clients, including contact details, clearance notes, and organization-specific SOPs stored in a single location.
Together, these configurable modules allow laboratories to deploy only what they need today, while scaling capabilities over time—without sacrificing auditability, security, or workflow consistency.
