Case Study: Dr Lal PathLabs achieves scalable, automated lab operations and accelerated growth with STARLIMS

Dr Lal PathLabs Leverages Decade-Long Partnership with STARLIMS to Support Future Expansion

Dr. Lal PathLabs Ltd, India’s largest private clinical diagnostic company with more than 230 laboratories and 4,000+ tests, was struggling with an outdated legacy LIS that forced manual operations, slowed throughput and threatened the company’s rapid expansion plans. After a global review of compliant systems, Dr. Lal PathLabs selected STARLIMS’ LIMS and Scientific Data Management System (SDMS) to replace the legacy platform and provide a scalable, instrument‑integrated informatics foundation.

STARLIMS worked with Dr. Lal PathLabs through a 16‑month SDLC implementation and a simultaneous 2013 go‑live across sites, delivering workflow automation, reporting for 4,000+ tests and integration with 1,000+ instruments. The STARLIMS solution scaled with the business to support new labs and satellite facilities, enabled nearly 100,000 patient diagnoses per day, drove a threefold increase in sample‑handling capacity, produced double‑digit reductions in turnaround time, and improved data integrity and operational transparency.
