LabCollector v6.34

Laboratories don't need more features for the sake of features — they need tools that make daily work faster, safer, and easier to trust. That's exactly the philosophy behind LabCollector v6.34, a release that brings together the most meaningful improvements since v6.32 into one focused, production-ready update.

Whether you run a research lab, a clinical or diagnostic facility, a QC department, a biobank, or an environmental testing operation, v6.34 touches the parts of your daily workflow that matter most: document control, compliance, communication, security, and speed.

Here's what's new.

Stronger Quality Management with the New QMS Document Control Module

Quality documentation is often where labs feel the most friction — version chaos, unclear review status, and no reliable audit trail. LabCollector v6.34 introduces a redesigned QMS document control system built around the way accredited labs actually work:

• Revisions — track every version of a controlled document with a clear history.
• Reviewers — assign the right people to validate content before it goes live.
• Acknowledgements — confirm that staff have read and understood critical procedures.
• Review dates — schedule and enforce periodic reviews, so nothing goes stale unnoticed.

QMS document control — docs

For labs working toward or maintaining ISO 17025, ISO 15189, or GLP/GMP compliance, this gives you a defensible, auditable trail for every SOP, policy, and protocol in your system.

Radioactive Reagent Tracking, Built for Regulatory Reality

Labs handling radioisotopes face a unique set of tracking and safety obligations. v6.34 adds dedicated radioactive reagent tracking, covering:

• Isotope identification
• Decay calculations
• Disposal tracking
• Activity reports

This means less manual calculation, fewer spreadsheets on the side, and a clearer record for safety officers and auditors alike.

A Messaging System That Actually Works Like Messaging

Internal lab communication has been reimagined. The revamped messaging module now includes:

• A proper inbox with unread status indicators
• Threaded replies so conversations stay organized
• Record links, connecting messages directly to the samples, tests, or documents they relate to
• Closure status, so it's obvious when an issue or request has actually been resolved

No more digging through email chains to find out whether a question about a sample was ever answered.

Co-Scientist Gets Sharper

LabCollector's AI-assisted Co-Scientist continues to mature in this release, with:

• Support for scientific diagrams
• More reliable indexing and routing, meaning it finds and connects information more accurately across your lab's data

The result is a smarter assistant that better understands the context of your lab's records when you ask it a question.

One Place to Manage Every License

Managing licenses across LabCollector and its many add-ons used to mean checking multiple places. The redesigned license hub now gives administrators a single, unified view covering LabCollector core and all installed add-ons — making renewals, audits, and troubleshooting far simpler.

Security You Can Actually Rely On

Security improvements in v6.34 focus on making authentication both stronger and more resilient:

• Reinforced SSO and 2FA
• Fallback authentication options in case a primary method is unavailable
• Attempt limits to guard against brute-force access attempts

Combined with safer asynchronous backups — which now include database files — labs get a more resilient system overall, with reduced risk of data loss and reduced exposure to unauthorized access.

Better Connections: APIs, Parser, and AccountsIQ

Integration work gets easier too, with:

• Improved APIs for smoother custom development and third-party integrations
• Better Parser integration for automated data capture
• Enhanced AccountsIQ ERP connectivity, tightening the link between lab operations and financial/inventory systems

A Faster, Cleaner Daily Experience

Beyond the big features, v6.34 sharpens the everyday experience:

• Live memorized records for quicker access to frequently used data
• Clearer treeviews for easier navigation of hierarchical data
• Smoother BoxGrid performance for sample storage management

Fixes Across the Board

This release also resolves a wide range of issues across storage, exports, shared panels, purchasing, backups, and security, reinforcing the platform's overall stability and reliability.

Why This Release Matters

v6.34 isn't a single flashy headline feature — it's a consolidation of real, practical improvements that make LabCollector safer, faster, and easier to manage day to day. For labs balancing compliance requirements, data security, and operational efficiency, this release delivers meaningful progress on all three fronts at once.

Trusted by more than 9,000 laboratories across 60+ countries, LabCollector continues to evolve alongside the needs of research, clinical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, biobank, and environmental labs worldwide.
