The Labordatenbank is a web-based LIMS system that is operated as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) in the AWS Cloud in Frankfurt. Access is via a web browser, which means that the full range of functions is available on any computer (Windows, macOS, Linux), tablet or smartphone.

System requirements

• Browser: Current version of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge oder Safari.
• Operating system: Windows 10/11, macOS, Linux, Android oder iOS.

Network requirements

• Internet connection: Broadband connection with at least 10 Mbit/s (symmetrical recommended).

Cooperation with your IT

We ask for cooperation with your IT department on the following points:

1. Single sign-on (SSO) and authentication:
• Provision of SSO with an OAuth 2.0-compatible procedure.
• Alternatively, multi-factor authentication (MFA) via passkey or time-based two-factor authentication (2FA) via password manager or key is possible.
2. E-mail dispatch:
• Provision of a dedicated e-mail account (e.g. lab@testlab.com) including SMTP access data.
• Note: For Microsoft Outlook we recommend SMTP authentication with OAuth 2.0.
3. Additional Backup:
• If desired, please provide an SFTP drive for additional local data backup.

Safety recommendations

• Regular updating of the operating system and all software components used.
• Use of virus protection and intrusion detection systems.
• Regular training, sensitize employees (social engineering!)
• Least privileges: Check whether users have exactly the access rights they need or no longer need
