The LIMS of the Future

 

If you’re running an industrial lab, why not an industrial LIMS?

BLISS, Baytek International’s LIMS, is fit-for-purpose industrial manufacturing lab automation. From BLISS’s elegant and robust routine sample schedule to its integrated SQC capabilities, the BLISS system is enterprise-class software designed and built for the purpose of automating and simplifying your laboratory workflow.

The selection of your LIMS is far more important than just picking a software package... it’s about the quality of your product… your customers’ confidence… regulatory compliance… efficiency and lower cost.

For 40 years, Baytek International has catered exclusively to the process industries, incorporating good ideas from all levels of plant management and operations. You’ll see the difference immediately, from the fundamentals (like the way we identify and schedule samples) to the unexpected (like automatic screening for suspicious data). We guarantee our standard functionality will be better and our cost of ownership lower than any other product on the market because our LIMS was built to manage industrial laboratories.
