Plug-and-play instrument connectivity
Connect your analyzers, EMR, LIS, and billing systems on standard protocols. Results flow from the instrument into the right report, with no manual transcription.
LifeOrion speaks ASTM (LIS2-A2) and HL7 out of the box, with ready-made parsers for 20+ common molecular and clinical analyzers. Bring an instrument online, map its results once, and let LifeOrion run the rest of the order-to-report workflow.
Two protocols, fully supported
LifeOrion connects to lab instruments and external systems using the standards your equipment already speaks. Configure ports, mapping, and authentication per instrument, then monitor every connection from one place.
ASTM (LIS2-A2)
A built-in TCP listener accepts results over ASTM, with per-instrument port management and shared-secret authentication. Each analyzer gets its own port and credentials, so connections stay isolated and traceable.
HL7
Full HL7 segment and field mapping, port mapping, and parser connections. Map incoming messages to the exact tests, analytes, and patients in your catalog, then validate the flow before you go live.
Your analyzers, ready on day one
Most LIMS make you build instrument interfaces from scratch. LifeOrion ships with ready-made parsers for 20+ widely used molecular and clinical analyzers, so results flow into the correct report automatically.
Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 12K Flex
Real-time PCR and high-throughput genotyping results parsed directly into molecular workflows.
Applied Biosystems OpenArray
High-density plate results mapped to the right tests and analytes automatically.
Bio-Rad CFX
qPCR run results brought in cleanly for resulting and verification.
Beckman Coulter Access 2
Immunoassay results captured for clinical chemistry and serology workflows.
HORIBA ABX Pentra
Analyzer output parsed and routed to the matching orders.
HORIBA Yumizen
Results imported and linked to the correct samples and reports.
These are among the analyzers labs connect most often. LifeOrion ships with 20+ parsers across molecular, clinical chemistry, and hematology, and we add new ones regularly.
Connect the systems around your lab
EMR
Exchange orders and results with electronic medical record systems over HL7, with field-level mapping to your catalog and patient records.
LIS
Interface with upstream or downstream laboratory systems, mapping tests, analytes, and demographics so data stays consistent across platforms.
Billing
Produce claims-ready output with CPT and ICD coding, configurable bill types, and insurance provider management, ready to hand off to your billing system.
Tell us what you need to connect
If you run an analyzer or external system that uses ASTM (LIS2-A2) or HL7, we can help you bring it online. Share the instrument details and your current message format, and our team will scope the connection with you.
