We built the data backbone for commercial diagnostics enough times to know what a lab needs on day one.

arcminute builds software for regulated laboratories. Our first product, navisLIMS, exists to help molecular diagnostics labs start the right way, right away — a compliant system of record that carries a lab from the first box of samples to a running, commercial operation, without a two-year implementation.

A lab’s edge is in running tests — not in building the plumbing underneath them. Every week spent assembling chain of custody, audit trails, and role-based sign-off by hand is a week not spent on patients and results.

navisLIMS turns that plumbing into a system you start on, not something you assemble later. Structured intake, enforced sample states, Part 11 e-signatures, and a hash-chained audit log are there from the first sample — so a lab operates like a serious clinical operation from day one and never accumulates compliance debt it has to pay down under inspection.
