Supported interfaces: connectivity to LIS and clinical analyzers
TransLABtor is on-premise lab software — a lab system layer that provides an interface with LIS and bidirectional analyzer links. Analyzer interfaces route orders and results securely across the hospital and laboratory intranet.
Analyzer and LIS library
Named families currently in the driver library. Additional instruments are added when a site submits a host-interface specification. Connectivity to LIS uses the standard HL7 v2.4 channel below.

Not listed?
We keep developing drivers on customer request. Send the manufacturer interface manual or a de-identified hex/HL7 trace. Under a valid maintenance contract, new drivers are included; a beta pack is typically ready for site validation within 14 working days, depending on protocol complexity.
Formal site validation of each interface remains the responsibility of the deploying laboratory.
Lab Systems FAQ
Lab middleware vs Laboratory Information System
A LIS is the laboratory information system of record. TransLABtor is lab software that supplies connectivity to LIS and analyzers.
Lab middleware Hong Kong
KW Informatics Limited is based in Lai Chi Kok, Hong Kong. The lab system runs on-premise — patient data does not leave your intranet.
Need connectivity to a LIS or analyzer that is not listed?
Send the manufacturer interface specification or a de-identified sample trace. We map a driver for your laboratory system and keep the library growing for every site.
