Sanad LIMS · ISO/IEC 17025
A LIMS customised for your laboratory
Every laboratory gets Sanad LIMS set up for it, built from its own procedures, forms, methods and scope. One system for the whole testing cycle, from contract review and sample receipt to worksheets, signed reports, equipment, staff competence and the quality records your assessor asks for.

Clauses 4–8of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 mapped
Customised for each lab
Not a template. Built around your laboratory.
Most LIMS ask the laboratory to change the way it works. Sanad LIMS works the other way round. We start from your quality manual and set up the system to match it, then keep it in step as your procedures change.
📘
Your procedures & forms
Modules carry your procedure numbers, and every form keeps your own form code, fields and wording.
🧪
Your methods & worksheets
A worksheet for each of your methods, with your calculations, acceptance criteria and instruments.
📄
Your reports
Your logo, layout, signatures, statements and footer. The report prints what your lab entered and nothing else.
🔬
Your scope
Chemistry, microbiology or both. Each lab sees the tests, templates and checks that belong to its scope.
✅
Your approval rules
Who reviews, who approves and what must be done before work starts or a report is released, set to match your procedures.
🛠️
Your next change
A new procedure, a revised form or an assessor's finding is built into your system, so the system and your documents never drift apart.
Sanad LIMS core
Shared foundation: samples, worksheets, reports, equipment, quality records, roles, audit trail and backup.

Built for daily work
Details that save time at the bench and at the audit
🔗
One record, many uses
A completed worksheet feeds the equipment use sheet, the report and the sample trail. Nothing is typed twice.
🔐
Roles enforced on the server
Analysts, reviewers, managers and viewers each have their own permissions. The server checks them, so hiding a button is not the only protection.
🕘
Full audit trail
Every change is logged with the user, the time and the old and new values. Refused actions are logged too.
🚦
Gates that follow your procedures
Testing cannot start on a request until its contract review is recorded.
🔔
Reminders before things fall due
Calibrations, checks, low stock and missed environmental readings show up on the dashboard.
🖨️
Prints what you entered
Reports and forms carry your lab's own text and form numbers. The software adds nothing of its own.
📱
Any device
Runs in the browser on desktop, tablet and phone, and can be installed as an app. Nothing to install on lab computers.
💾
Automatic backups
The server backs up your data on a schedule, and an administrator can export everything at any time.

Frequently asked
Who owns the data?
You do. Each laboratory has its own separate database, and an administrator can export all records at any time.
How much can be customised?
Your system is built from your own quality manual. Module names carry your procedure numbers, forms keep your codes and fields, worksheets follow your methods, and approval rules follow your procedures. New modules can be added when your system needs them.
What happens when our procedures change?
Your system is updated to match: a revised form, a new procedure or a finding from an assessment is built into the system, so your records and documents stay in step.
Does it suit microbiology as well as chemistry?
Yes. Our customer Q-Lab International runs microbiology and chemistry in one system, and Egyptchem runs chemistry only.
What do we need to install?
Nothing. Sanad LIMS runs in a web browser on computers, tablets and phones, and can be added to the home screen as an app.
How is access controlled?
Each user has a role such as analyst, reviewer, manager or viewer. The server checks every change against that role, and the audit trail records who did what and when.
Can we move our existing records in?
Yes. Clients, equipment, staff and open records can be imported from your current spreadsheets during setup.
How is it priced?
Pricing depends on your scope and number of users. Contact us for an offer.
