Labstat, a leading nicotine product testing laboratory and part of Certified Group, needed to move away from inefficient, manual data management. Their teams relied heavily on complex spreadsheets and outdated systems that created bottlenecks, risked compliance issues, and limited scalability.
Over a long-standing partnership, ISU Corp built a fully customized Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) tailored to Labstat’s specific workflows. This secure, intuitive, and automated system now powers everything from sample tracking to invoicing, dramatically improving productivity, compliance, and access to information. ISU Corp continues to support and enhance the platform as Labstat grows globally under Certified Group.

The Challenge
Before partnering with ISU Corp, Labstat’s internal operations relied on a mix of Excel spreadsheets and a legacy database. This made day-to-day tasks:
Time-consuming and inefficient
Prone to human error and data silos
Difficult to scale across teams and labs
Information retrieval was dependent on a few key individuals who knew how to navigate the old systems. As Labstat grew, it became clear that they needed a robust, centralized solution to support lab efficiency, traceability, and compliance.
What Labstat Needed:
Custom automation for managing sample intake, chain of custody, and test workflows
A centralized LIMS platform to eliminate spreadsheet chaos and improve collaboration
Secure user access and digital audit trails to meet strict regulatory requirements
Integrated invoicing and reporting tools for full workflow visibility
Scalability to support future lab expansions and growing client demands
The Solution: A Fully Custom LIMS Built by ISU Corp
ISU Corp worked closely with Labstat to design and implement a custom Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) built from the ground up to match the lab’s real-world workflows.
Key Features:
Web-based Client Order Interface: Clients can submit and track orders online
Automated Chain of Custody & Sample Tracking: Maintains data integrity and traceability
Built-in Quotation, Worksheet, Invoicing, and Reporting Modules: Replaces fragmented processes
Security & Compliance: Includes role-based access, digital signatures, audit logs, and full traceability
Scalable Multi-Tenant Architecture: Supports Labstat’s expansion into new locations and service lines
ISU Corp continues to enhance and support the platform to ensure it evolves with Labstat’s operational and regulatory needs.

Labstat continues to rely on ISU Corp for ongoing development and support, reinforcing the value of a long-term partnership with a trusted technology partner.
Why Custom Software Matters for Laboratories
Off-the-shelf systems often fall short for specialized labs that require strict compliance, unique workflows, and high traceability. By investing in custom software tailored to its operations, Labstat eliminated manual inefficiencies and built a platform that grows with their business.
In highly regulated industries like health testing and lab science, a custom LIMS can mean the difference between smooth compliance or falling behind. ISU Corp’s deep experience in building secure, scalable, and intuitive lab platforms makes us the go-to partner for labs that want to modernize.
