Lab Analyzer-LIS Integration -- 2

I run a laboratory that relies on a home-grown Laboratory Information System (LIS). I now need the LIS to communicate seamlessly with three bench-top instruments:

• cobas c 311 analyzer
• cobas e 411 analyzer
• CELL-DYN EMERALD 22 system

The task is to build and deploy an interface that automatically pulls each instrument’s sample test results, converts the data to clean JSON, and posts it straight into the LIS with no manual intervention. Calibrations, controls, and maintenance logs are handled elsewhere, so the scope here is strictly the routine test-result stream.

I can supply instrument manuals, current LIS database structure, and a test environment. You will decide the best communications approach supported by the analyzers (e.g., serial, TCP/IP, or vendor SDK) and implement reliable handshaking, queue management, and error handling.

Deliverables
• A working middleware or direct driver that acquires results from all three analyzers and hands off validated JSON to the LIS API/end-point.
• Configuration and deployment documentation clear enough for in-house IT to replicate.
• A brief validation report confirming correct field mapping and end-to-end data integrity for a representative batch of samples.

Acceptance is complete when we can power on the instruments, run controls, and watch the LIS populate in real time with the matching JSON payloads—no duplicate records, no data loss, no manual edits.
