We build the workflow middleware that sits between your EMR, your LIS, and your bench — designed around your lab's protocols, not the other way around. Move case management, sample tracking, and forms off Excel, REDCap, and paper.
CassianLab builds custom database applications for genetic testing labs. Three flagship apps form the family — and we build new ones tailored to how your lab works.
Workflow & case management
Our most mature application — a complete case management database covering the full testing lifecycle from sample receipt to signed-out report. Configurable workflows, ACMG curation, three-tier review, full audit trails.
Clinical e-forms
Custom e-forms for genetic labs that capture cases that aren't yet in the EMR — replacing paper, PDFs, and scattered Microsoft Forms with auditable digital workflows.
Stocktake & sample storage
Specimen storage, freezer inventory, reagent stocktake, and patient sample tracking. We've built it for a genetics lab before — and we'll tailor a fresh version to yours.
Your hospital EMR and your lab's third-party tools weren't built to talk to each other.
CassianLab is the bespoke bridge between them — built to your stack, shipped in days, not quarters.
Bespoke central layer
built around your workflows
Enterprise integrations take months. CassianLab ships in days — and the result is one central lab database, clean and owned by you.
No two genetics labs work the same way. We configure everything — statuses, terminology, panels, permissions — during implementation so it fits from day one.
As a lab head, you need visibility — not more spreadsheets. CassianLab gives you real-time dashboards and analytics across every application so you can make confident business decisions, spot bottlenecks early, and scale your testing capacity without the chaos.
TAT, workload, revenue, and case volume — all in one view.
Diagnostic yield, case growth, cost-per-case, and custom metrics.
Cases needing attention, overdue sign-outs, and rogue status detection.
Add new applications without rebuilding. One platform grows with you.
Labs come to us when spreadsheets, emails, and generic systems stop scaling.
Big vendors mean big wait times. CassianLab is built and supported by a small dedicated team — so customisations ship in days, not quarters, and you always talk to someone who knows your system inside out.
We learn your workflow first, then build software that fits it. Four steps, no surprises.
We spend time understanding your testing modules, terminology, team structure, and integration needs. A paid phase that protects both sides.
We configure status workflows, gene panels, user roles, report templates, and module access to match your exact requirements.
Your team validates with real scenarios. We provide hands-on training tailored to each user role — scientists, directors, admin staff.
Launch on your own isolated AWS instance or on-premise server. We handle hosting, backups, updates, and ongoing support. Your data never shares infrastructure.
Research, workflow patterns, and field notes from molecular pathology labs.
Two leading US academic medical centres independently concluded that off-the-shelf molecular pathology software did not fit. Here is the evidence-based buyer's framework.
A 2025 JMIR study found EMR integration cut specialist wait times by 16.5 days. Here is why molecular pathology labs need a fast workflow middleware layer between the EMR and the bench.

Workflow middleware is the software layer that sits between your hospital EMR/LIS and the lab bench. For molecular pathology labs it orchestrates case intake, sample tracking through NGS pipelines, variant curation queues, and sign-out — without replacing your existing EMR or instrument software. CassianLab builds this layer custom for each lab around its actual protocols.
No. CassianLab is custom workflow middleware — it sits between your existing LIS/EMR and the lab bench. We don't replace your LIS for order entry, billing, or instrument interfaces. Instead, we build the case management, sample tracking, and workflow layer that off-the-shelf LIS systems handle poorly for molecular pathology and genetics labs.
Most molecular pathology and genetics labs default to Excel, REDCap, or paper-based SOPs because off-the-shelf LIS systems don't fit their workflow. CassianLab replaces those tools with a purpose-built web application designed around how your lab actually works — case tracking, sample chain of custody, variant curation queues, and sign-out — without the rigidity or 12-month implementation of an enterprise LIS.
Yes. CassianLab is designed as middleware — integrating with your existing systems is the point. We support HL7 and FHIR for healthcare data exchange, REST APIs for modern systems, CSV/Excel import for legacy data, and custom connectors where needed. We've built interfaces with Epic, Sunquest, Sapio, and major sequencer platforms.
Custom-built, not SaaS. Every client gets their own isolated server, database, and configuration. We build each system around your lab's specific workflows, terminology, and testing modules — typically deployed in 4–8 weeks, not the 12+ months an enterprise LIS replacement takes.
Yes. CassianLab originated at Children's Hospital Westmead in Sydney and is built around the requirements Australian molecular pathology labs face under NATA / ISO 15189 accreditation and the RCPA Quality Assurance Programs. We provide audit trails, version-controlled SOPs, role-based access, and the documentation patterns NATA assessors look for.
Each client gets an isolated AWS instance hosted in Sydney. AES-256 encryption at rest and in transit, daily automated backups with 30-day retention, and complete audit trails logging all access and changes.
