OneLab Software

Intuitive graphical design

Define your laboratory protocol in OneLab Software using an intuitive graphical drag-and-drop interface. For example, to perform a liquid handling operation, add the required consumables and samples on the virtual bench, then drag the pipette from the source to the destination as you would on a real bench. With OneLab Software, you can add heating, shaking, centrifugation steps, and more from any computer or tablet. Operations including serial dilution, concentration normalization, heating, shaking, centrifugation, and temperature control can be defined in OneLab Software, eliminating the risk of error-prone calculations and inaccurate SOP descriptions.

Share the protocols you design or start from already existing methods

Ensuring repeatability of your experiment in a collaborator’s lab, in a ring trial, or across a network of regulated laboratories can be challenging. OneLab Software lets you design and securely share your protocols with lab members or collaborators in other labs anywhere in the world. Protocols designed in OneLab Software ensure that each step in your experiment is executed correctly, reducing the likelihood of errors or different interpretations, and avoiding wasted research time and funding.

If a OneLab Software protocol is available, you can use these methods right away, helping you get up and running faster. We are continually adding new methods and validated protocols to the library, so check back often if you don’t see what you need.

Choose the level of automation that fits your workflow

Protocols built in OneLab Software can be executed three ways, so you can match the right level of automation to each experiment — no all-or-nothing commitment to robotics required.

• Advised — OneLab digitally guides scientists through SOPs step by step, with full traceability and no connected hardware required. Ideal when you're pipetting manually but want to eliminate errors and capture every action.
• Assisted — The Pipette+ Stand, paired with Waters electronic pipettes and the OneLab Software user interface, provides real-time, step-by-step guidance and automatically configures the correct volume, mixing, and tip-ejection settings at the press of a button — cutting manual workload by up to 90%.
• Automated — The Andrew+ Robot runs complete workflows unattended, turning laborious manual procedures into easily programmable protocols without any lab automation expertise. It uses Waters electronic pipettes and can even operate inside fume hoods.

Together, these options form a growing ecosystem of connected devices that scale with your lab as your needs evolve.

Built for regulated environments

Operate confidently in GxP-compliant and regulated laboratory settings with OneLab Software’s comprehensive compliance features, giving laboratory managers peace of mind about meeting strict standards. The platform is equipped with all necessary technical controls to satisfy 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 requirements by including electronic signatures, detailed audit trails, user access management with role-based permissions, and protocol versioning.

All actions within OneLab Software, from protocol design to execution, are securely logged and traceable, ensuring data integrity throughout your workflow. With OneLab, you can reduce the validation burden on your IT and quality teams while maintaining the highest standards of regulatory compliance, supported by built-in validation tools and documentation features that simplify audit readiness.

Seamless software integration

Available exclusively for on-premises deployments (OneLab Secured Deployment Solution and OneLab Enterprise).

Enhance your end-to-end workflows by seamlessly connecting OneLab Software to your existing laboratory informatics ecosystem. OneLab integrates effortlessly with Waters chromatography and mass spectrometry software, including Empower, MassLynx, and waters_connect, to facilitate smooth metadata transfer and acquisition triggering.

The OneLab platform can integrate with LIMS to support comprehensive sample tracking and experiment control across your laboratory organization.

The OneLab API enables you to automate tasks by connecting with third-party scheduling software. This integration allows you to streamline workflows across multiple instruments, including Andrew+ and Waters devices, ultimately boosting throughput and operational efficiency.
