Development of a new user interface for a laboratory middleware solution

For a clinical laboratory, it is time-consuming to frequently adjust the laboratory information system (LIS), which may be very customer-specific. For this reason, "middleware" is used as the link between the instruments and the LIS. Middleware is less customer-specific and easier to install than an LIS. Furthermore, the middleware helps with the automation of work processes within a laboratory, with sample distribution, sample archiving, quality control and other functions that the LIS does not cover. The middleware is therefore like a band-aid that lengthens the service life of an LIS in a laboratory or can even function a backup in the event of the LIS failing.
