AnimalTrace
For DNA testing labs

Run real lab operations, end to end.

Replace spreadsheets and brittle in-house tools with explicit, audited workflows, without losing the depth your science needs.

The pain

What's slowing labs down today.

Legacy or in-house LIMS

Hard to extend, weak audit, and tied to one instrument or one species.

Manual result handling

Copy-paste from instrument exports is error-prone and effectively unauditable.

Brittle integrations

Every new partner or instrument feed becomes a one-off that breaks on change.

Scattered status fields

Workflow state lives in ad-hoc flags instead of explicit, reviewable steps.

How AnimalTrace solves it

Structure where there was improvisation.

The same lab work runs as governed workflow instead of scattered status, so it scales, audits cleanly, and survives integration changes.

  • Explicit case, sample, and result workflows with audit at every state.
  • Structured ingestion that validates and normalizes results into canonical facts.
  • Integration-first design across partner APIs, instrument feeds, and webhooks, with files as a fallback.
  • Append-only audit trail and admin resolution queues for anything that needs a human.

The lab workflow

    Intake

  2. 2

    Accession

  3. 3

    Import

  4. 4

    Normalize

  5. 5

    Review

  6. 6

    Release

  7. 7

    Verify

Migration & onboarding, first-class

Importing existing data is a primary onboarding pattern, not an afterthought. Source references are preserved and mapped, with no silent merges, and unmapped values queue for review.

Audit & verifiable reports

Every released report carries a content-hash snapshot a customer can independently verify, backed by an append-only audit trail.

New species by configuration

Add a species through capability configuration: panels, tests, traits, and report sections, without forking the product or shipping new code.
