Modernising the laboratory system for HKAL
HKAL’s ageing LIMS was rebuilt into a modern workflow platform — so lab staff could focus on the work that matters.
The problem
HKAL, a pesticide testing laboratory, was running on an ageing laboratory information system (LIMS). It worked, but it created repetitive admin, made history and auditability hard, and got in the way of the actual lab work.
Context
Laboratory work is compliance-heavy. Samples move through defined stages, every step needs a log, and auditability is not optional. The system supporting that has to be dependable and clear.
What Tyto built
Tyto rebuilt HKAL’s old LIMS into a modern workflow platform. The new system supports compliance, logs, history and auditability, with workflow automation and a Kanban-style view of sample flow.
The purpose throughout was to remove repetitive admin and let lab staff focus on the work that matters — testing — rather than on feeding the system.
What this proves
Internal software, built around how a team actually works, removes friction instead of adding it. The right workflow platform makes compliance a by-product of doing the job, not a separate chore.
- Compliance, logs and history built into the workflow.
- Kanban-style visibility of sample flow.
- Less repetitive admin for lab staff.
