QBench is a cloud-based laboratory information management system (LIMS) from QBench Inc. It is built for labs that need to track orders, samples, and tests, record results, and issue reports to customers. The company describes the product as a lab operating system rather than only a LIMS.
That description reflects the modules sold alongside the core system: a Quality Management System, Inventory Management, a Customer Portal, and Billing. The company says it was started by lab owners and professionals, and that it hires former lab scientists to understand customer needs.
QBench says it serves Fortune 100 companies as well as small businesses, across industries such as materials and manufacturing, food and beverage, life sciences, agriculture, and environmental testing. It reports 8 years in business and thousands of active users.
QBench is delivered as a cloud application. Labs configure it to match their own processes rather than adopting a fixed workflow. Administrators can rename workflows and fields, define roles and assign them to users, and tag core data types to build their own organizational system.
Automation is handled by a no-code If/Then builder that can skip manual steps and shorten turnaround times. Reports are produced from configurable templates edited in a no-code editor, and hundreds can be generated, approved, and released at once.
For anything beyond the built-in tools, QBench provides an open REST API for custom automations and deeper integrations. The company contrasts this approach with legacy systems that depend on custom code and long, costly implementations.
The core system covers orders, samples, tests, batches, projects, suppliers, protocols, panels, plate maps, controls, and control charting. Labs can record results, run automatic calculations, import and export Excel files, and print barcode labels. Custom fields and custom IDs can be added to orders, samples, sources, projects, and invoices.
Higher plans add modules. Inventory management includes automated stock consumption, formulations, low and expired stock alerts, and COGS. The Quality Management System includes equipment management, CAPA, document control with versions and approvals, issues, logs, and training sets.
QBench also lists billing features such as quotations, invoice emailing, quantity and turnaround time discounts, customer-specific pricing, and taxes. On compliance, it states ISO 17025 compatibility, HIPAA compliance, 21 CFR Part 11 support, and CLIA support.

It suits labs that want a configurable LIMS in industries such as materials, food and beverage, life sciences, agriculture, and environmental testing. Customers range from small businesses to Fortune 100 companies, per the company.
It lists NetSuite, QuickBooks, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Tableau. Enterprise adds BI integrations with Power BI, Domo, and Looker, and an open REST API is available.
QBench states it is ISO 17025 compatible, HIPAA compliant, supports 21 CFR Part 11, and supports CLIA certification. Enterprise includes an audit trail.
The company says it serves small businesses as well as large ones, and offers a simple starting setup. The $16,500 yearly entry price for 5 users is a consideration for very small labs.
QBench says configurable tools avoid a drawn-out implementation and a nine-month or longer custom setup. It does not state a specific timeline.
