Most analytical labs test more than one kind of sample. Testing clients change, so sample matrices change. Regulations change, so compliance requirements change.

As your lab's business changes, your LIMS should change too.

That's why Confident LIMS now supports your full mix of industries — Agriculture, Cannabis & Hemp, Environmental, Food & Beverage, Nutraceuticals, Cosmetics & Personal Care, Industrial Chemicals, Oil & Gas, and more — natively, from a single lab account. No second system. One login. Industry-specific configurations.

What multi-industry LIMS support actually means in Confident

Confident LIMS began by serving analytical testing labs in the highly regulated legal cannabis industry a decade ago and expanded support for labs in hemp and nutraceuticals over the years. Today, Confident is announcing new-and-improved functionality that seamlessly and dynamically adapts lab workflow and configurations according to each industry the lab serves. This means that a single lab account can operate across multiple industries natively, with automated, industry-specific workflows that adapt to each industry to make your lab move faster than ever.

Your menu, order forms, table views, calculations, action limits, and report templates dynamically reflect the actual work your lab is doing — in whatever industry it's doing it. Cannabis & Hemp workflows, including METRC and BioTrack integrations, continue to function exactly as before.

What's new in Confident LIMS

The release is organized around three practical changes to how labs configure and run their testing operations.

Industry-specific test packages

Each supported industry has its own test packages, built around its sample matrix categories, fields, analytes, and reporting requirements. No generic templates retrofitted to cover everything.

Cross-industry ordering

Your lab and your clients can now place orders across all your supported industries from a single account. Intake forms, Chain of Custody, COA templates, and LIMS configurations automatically adapt to the industry selected on each order. Cannabis & Hemp orders, including regulator integrations like METRC and BioTrack, work the same as before.

Filter and organize by industry

Table views across the platform now include an Industry column. Sort, filter, and group your work by the real industry of each sample — the way your lab actually operates.

Who Confident LIMS is built for

Confident LIMS is built for third-party analytical testing labs that test samples across any matrix category for chemical, microbial, or physical assays on behalf of business or government clients operating in regulated and complex industries.

For example, the ideal Confident LIMS user is the lab director who needs one platform to handle her cannabis and food testing without duplicating data across two systems. He's the QA manager preparing for an ISO 17025 audit while scaling into environmental contracts. They're the operations leaders running multiple labs serving three distinct industries who need to configure each location and industry in one system.
