Avalon Laboratory System vs LabCollector LIMS: Which is a better fit?

The system is very customizable to allow labs to build it out however best suits their needs. The layout of case and sample pages is clean, easy to read and easy to find information.

There also seems to be a lot of add-ons that aren't included in packages so we had to upgrade several times before we even got started. As a small lab with limited budget, that was stressful.

Once the layout design and migration concerns were addressed, I find the system very intuitive, easy to use, and the team is wonderful to work with.

The different layers of the lab book are useless and just add confusion. Trying to fit my recording needs to the lab book was the reverse of what I needed.

It is definitely worth the extra energy you have to put into it at the beginning to set up your system. In addition, good documentation also adds value to our products.

There are some bugs in the program but if you report them to the developers they will try to fix them or at least they will suggest you a way to solve your problem.

Labcollector contains already a lot of nice features which give the final application additional functionalities and a rich interface with a lot of possibilities.

It is a bottum up program, so you need to set up first the casing, (freezers, racks in freezers, boxes inside rack, before you can add samples to a box).
