Introduction

The Lab Workflow Orchestration Suite (LWOS) in LDAS is designed to streamline and enhance laboratory operations by providing pre-built and customizable Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) components for protocol design and automation. It helps you automate data flow between lab instruments and software, eliminating manual transfers and reducing errors. It seamlessly integrates with ELNs, LIMS, and analytical instruments to ensure standardized data exchange. By automating workflows and applying business rules and validations, you improve data accuracy, enforce protocols, and maintain regulatory compliance.

Key Terms

This section provides an overview of the terminologies used in Orchestration.

Workflows

A workflow is a sequence of tasks that you and your team perform to achieve a specific lab protocol. By automating these tasks, you can streamline operations, reduce manual effort, and improve overall efficiency.

For example, in flow cytometry, LWOS automates sample registration, standardizes the data, sends it to FlowJo for analysis, and then pushes the analyzed results to ELN.

• Based on your lab protocols, you can create BPMN models and use them to launch workflows.
• In these workflows, the various events and tasks you define in the model are carried out in parallel.
