LAB INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Why Confience LIMS is the Best Alternative to Thermo SampleManager

Thermo SampleManager sets the enterprise LIMS bar for validation and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance — and asks for the enterprise implementation to match. Confience myLIMS delivers the same enterprise LIMS posture, documentation to support your validation, and a framework that helps labs meet 21 CFR Part 11 requirements — without a multi-year rollout or a consultant on every configuration change.

FAQs

How long does implementation take compared to a multi-year SampleManager rollout?
myLIMS is built to compress enterprise LIMS time-to-value — controlled workflows, pre-configured 21 CFR Part 11 templates, and a defined implementation window measured in a fraction of a SampleManager engagement.

Do I need a consultant for every configuration change?
No. myLIMS is designed for self-service configuration by your lab team — method templates, workflow rules, and role permissions are all configurable in the platform, without a Thermo-partner engagement per change.

How does the pricing model compare to per-seat SampleManager licensing?
We publish a subscription pricing model designed against per-seat enterprise LIMS licensing, with Validation Docs Included at every tier. Your bench, your QA, and your instrument techs all work in myLIMS without a per-seat surcharge to expand adoption.
