This latest update reflects LabWare’s commitment to helping clinical laboratories operate more efficiently through modern, flexible LIMS technology. Ed Krasovec, Director of Clinical Solutions at LabWare, stated that version 5.06 was developed with the assistance of LabWare’s internal automated testing platform. This approach enabled the team to carry out more comprehensive validation testing, ensuring a high-quality release and making future updates easier to verify and deploy.
One of the most significant features in this new release is the inclusion of a built-in billing module. Previously available as an optional component, this functionality is now standard, making it simpler for laboratories to handle financial workflows without requiring additional integrations. The billing tool streamlines setup for clients and covers all essential invoicing needs. The release also introduces improved dashboards for reviewing results. These visual enhancements help lab staff verify data more efficiently and with greater confidence. Updates to the send-out process improve coordination with external labs, allowing for smoother tracking and management of tests sent elsewhere. These improvements give laboratories greater control over the logistics of third-party lab work.

Customer communications have also received an upgrade. The advanced contact management tools in version 5.06 enable laboratories to track interactions with clients and respond to concerns more quickly, supporting better customer service. A redesigned master data dashboard improves oversight and change tracking, offering lab managers more control over items such as test catalogs and data entry sources. Role management has been reorganized to simplify the process of assigning access permissions and responsibilities. With more intuitive role definitions, configuring user access is now faster and clearer.
Searching for key data within the system has also been improved. Smarter, template-based search functions make it easier to manage and update reference ranges, which is vital for keeping test accuracy and compliance standards high. LabWare has also enhanced the system’s ability to handle HL7 orders. New features help identify when tests are added or removed during order entry, which strengthens oversight and ensures test results remain accurate and complete throughout the process.
With these improvements, LabWare Clinical Health Solution 5.06 continues to build on its reputation as a modular, highly configurable LIMS and LIS platform. The update makes the system more user-friendly while maintaining the powerful functionality that has made LabWare the trusted choice for clinical and public health laboratories worldwide.
