A reading from the balance, not a sticky note
Place the vessel — the weight lands in the sample record. Less retyping, fewer transcription errors that trigger CAPA, client complaints, or failed assessments.
A LIMS People Use on the Bench — Not Only Before an Assessment
An analyst in gloves will not tap twenty tiny fields: they jot a number and mistype it into a spreadsheet later. WAPP designs LIMS for wet-lab reality — one screen, one action, readings from balances into the sample record. For small labs we ship a free base system — with a queue and clear terms. For accredited and regulated work we customize around ISO/IEC 17025 data integrity.
What changes when software matches the lab floor
UI for gloves and fogged goggles
One screen — one action, large controls. Consumer-style web UX gets abandoned on a chem bench: if it is awkward, Excel wins again.
Audit Trail without a clerk role
Immutable logs and record versions accumulate in the background. Analysts do chemistry — quality and assessors still get the evidence pack ISO/IEC 17025 expects.
Certificates of analysis without folder archaeology
Roles, reviews, and e-signatures in one flow. Managers do not collect scans from shared drives before releasing a result.
LIMS modules for samples and tests
Screens and master data follow your methods and accreditation scope. The point is that an analyst can capture a fact in seconds — not reconstruct it from a night draft.
Sample and specimen tracking
Sample record: client, method, sampling conditions, lifecycle statuses. A QR on the sample opens the record on the floor without searching a paper log.
Methods, analytes, and units
A library of test methods, matrices, analytes, and units. A method revision does not disappear into personal drives.
Reports and certificates of analysis
Reports assemble in the system: participants, reviews, signatures, templates aligned with your accreditation scope. Less manual transfer — less risk of a finding over a typo.
Equipment registry
Calibration, maintenance, and results per instrument. Fit-for-use status is visible before a measurement series starts.
Roles and access
Staff see only their areas: intake, testing, master-data admin. Permissions are set before go-live, not by informal agreement.
Traceability log
An audit of entity changes and user actions. Investigations use the system trail — not messenger history.
Sample QR
Label the sample for fast open on site. A scan opens one record instead of hunting a number in a binder.
Free pilot for labs up to ~10 people — not “tomorrow”
If spreadsheets already hurt and a boxed LIMS is neither affordable nor desirable, WAPP can ship a base system free. This is a selective pilot for small teams — not a mass giveaway. There is a queue and an exchange.
Who can join
Small labs — roughly up to 10 people, anywhere we can work remotely and visit when needed. Base contour: samples and statuses, methods and analytes, signed reports, equipment with calibration, roles, and an action log.
How you pay if not with money
With time and openness: we document the rollout as a public case (anonymized if required). Need it yesterday and fully confidential — commercial development.
A 2–4 month queue is normal
A free slot opens when the team has a window. We will not drop paid delivery for a free start tomorrow. Your request joins a live queue.
What is customized separately
Backend, instrument interfaces, report templates for your accreditation scope — after the process map. Billing modules, public sample portals, and full multi-site cloud sync are in progress and are not promised on this page.
Case: proficiency testing platform
Spektrokhim — interlaboratory comparisons: rounds, samples, participant results. Adjacent to LIMS work: there we learned that default web UX fails on a chem bench — and carried that into LIMS design.

For small labs (roughly up to 10 people) WAPP ships a base version without a license fee: samples, methods, reports, roles, action log. In return — a queue (often 2–4 months) and willingness to publish a case study.
Urgent or under NDA — commercial development. Backend, instruments, and accreditation-aligned templates are always priced separately.
We design for data integrity practices that accredited labs need: unique sample identity, controlled methods, e-signatures, and an Audit Trail that shows who changed what and when.
We do not sell a “certified stamp”. Your national accreditation body still assesses your management system — we make the software fit how you actually work.
Because the UI fights the floor: gloves, fogged goggles, a centrifuge nearby — and twenty tiny fields on screen. Numbers go on sticky notes and into Excel at night — with typos that later become findings.
We design for one screen, one action, and instrument capture where it matters.
An ELN captures experimental worksheets and notes. A LIMS runs the sample lifecycle: statuses, method, report, equipment, client, and traceability through result release.
A common path is ELN at the bench and LIMS for intake, custody, and certificates of analysis.
Yes. Method libraries, analytes, units, and CoA templates follow your accreditation scope and clients. WAPP does not sell a frozen box — we customize after the process map.
Standard revisions and internal SOPs are locked in the specification before UI work.
A pilot on one method family is usually shorter than a full scope with all instruments. For the free program, start timing depends on the queue — a window may open in 2–4 months.
Commercial tracks are planned after master data, roles, and external systems.
