Clinisys Laboratory Solution (CLS) LIMS overview

By Thibaut Desseignes, founder and editor · Last verified 2026-10-13 · 18 independent and 43 vendor sources

Verdict. Clinisys Laboratory Solution (CLS) is a cloud LIMS sold in packages for environmental and water, public health, toxicology, food, crop science and contract testing labs, with clinical pathology and genomics LIS packages on the same platform in North America. It is a good fit for public health and environmental laboratories, the segment where US public laboratories run Clinisys LIMS products. It is less suited to pharmaceutical QC, an offering Clinisys announces as coming soon.

Clinisys LIMS key facts

Replaces	Clinisys says the capabilities of HORIZON LIMS are now part of CLS and that Element LIMS capabilities enhance it; Clinisys still handles Element LIMS sales and upgrades.
Price	Quote only. Public contracts for Element LIMS (Fresno), HORIZON LIMS (New Hampshire) and a Clinisys LIMS the contract does not name (Michigan) give price benchmarks; see the pricing section.
Hosting	Run by Clinisys on Microsoft Azure, according to a 2024 Clinisys interview. No on-premise option is described for CLS.
Implementation time	Not published. Alaska moved its existing Clinisys system to the cloud in 75 days instead of the planned 180, keeping its integration engine on site.
Compliance	Part 11, ISO 17025, CLIA, ISO 15189 and HIPAA are listed on package pages, without a described e-signature workflow; nothing is published on GAMP 5 or EU Annex 11.
Who uses it	State public health laboratories in Michigan, Alaska, New Jersey and New Hampshire; EPA Region 4's laboratory documents its use of Element LIMS in 2026, and Fresno's wastewater laboratory contracted it in 2023.

Clinisys LIMS assessment

Editorial reading of documented evidence, not a hands-on test. See how we assess.

Overall fit Strong

For public health and environmental labs: public bodies in Michigan, Alaska, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Fresno and EPA Region 4 document choosing or running Clinisys LIMS products.
Compliance documentation Mixed

The Toxicology page describes a data audit trail covering the complete specimen lifecycle and chain of custody tracking from collection to reporting. Part 11, ISO 17025, CLIA, HIPAA and ISO 15189 are listed on package pages; no e-signature workflow, validation package, GAMP 5 or Annex 11 documentation is published.
Deployment execution Mixed

Clinisys Laboratory Solution is documented as cloud software only, run by Clinisys on Microsoft Azure according to a 2024 Clinisys interview; hosting regions are not published. Alaska's laboratory moved its Clinisys LIMS to the cloud in 75 days with Clinisys's transition team, keeping its integration engine on site.
Pricing transparency Limited

No public price list; public contracts in Fresno, New Hampshire and Michigan give price benchmarks.
Support Strong

Two public records point the same way: New Jersey's laboratory rated Clinisys above STARLIMS on support services, and Alaska credits Clinisys's transition team with its 75-day migration.

What Clinisys Laboratory Solution is

Clinisys Laboratory Solution (CLS) is the cloud LIMS that Clinisys, a Roper Technologies business, sells to non-clinical and public health laboratories. It is the result of a string of acquisitions. Roper bought Horizon Lab Systems (HORIZON LIMS) and Common Cents Systems (ApolloLIMS) in 2022, merged them with CliniSys and Sunquest under the Clinisys name, then bought Promium (Element LIMS, environmental and water markets) in May 2023 for 16.5 million USD. Clinisys launched CLS in July 2023 and says the capabilities of HORIZON and Element are now part of it.

How CLS is packaged

CLS is one SaaS platform sold as discipline packages, each pre-configured for a laboratory type:

Package	For	What Clinisys describes
Environmental and Water Quality	Environmental, drinking water and wastewater labs	Sample login, collection scheduling, mobile collection in the field, Level 4 client reports; positioned for NELAC/ELAP, Safe Drinking Water Act and UCMR requirements
Public Health	State and local public health labs	Surveillance and outbreak response, NEDSS and LRN interfaces
Toxicology	Forensic and drug testing labs	Chain of custody from collection to reporting
Food & Beverage	Food testing labs	Retained sample tracking from receipt to disposal, multi-level matrix management (2025)
Crop Sciences	Agricultural testing labs	On-site and remote sample collection
Contract Services	Contract testing labs	Client portal (launched April 2024)
Clinical Pathology and Genomics	North American clinical labs	LIS packages on the same platform since version 2025.2

A pre-configured content package for environmental and water labs was released in January 2025. Clinisys presents these packages as the way to keep a configuration compatible with future updates, and says customization added to a package lengthens installation.

What changed in 2025 and 2026

Version 2025.2 (November 2025) added the clinical packages, the CLS CARE assistant, which answers questions from CLS documentation and has no access to patient data, updated QC rules and Dutch language support. Version 2025.3 (July 2026) brought the Gateway Module, presented as the evolution of the LabOnline client portal, support for the Clinisys Collect mobile app, a connection to the SciNote ELN and a revised approach to test configuration. A partnership with the low-code vendor Decisions, announced the same month, is bringing a workflow engine into the platform, and document intelligence features were announced on 7 October 2026. Most of these items come from release announcements, so the capability tables list them as vendor-stated.

Reading the public record

The independent evidence comes from public buyers rather than reviewers, and it points to one segment: state and municipal laboratories that combine clinical and environmental work. Alaska’s health department ranked Clinisys first in its 2023 tender for a cloud LIMS, with 841 points against 512 for the runner-up. New Jersey’s environmental and chemical laboratory chose Clinisys over STARLIMS to replace the Element LIMS it had run since 2009, rating it higher on ease of migration, support services and state procurement.

These documents refer to Clinisys, or to HORIZON and Element before their integration, rather than to Clinisys Laboratory Solution by name. The Alaska case also records the trade-offs of a deadline-driven cloud move: to go live in 75 days, the laboratory kept its integration engine on site, so reporting data now travels to the cloud and back, and it dropped the parallel run it had planned.

What users report

G2’s page for Clinisys covers the vendor’s products as a whole, not necessarily Clinisys Laboratory Solution: of the 9 of its 22 reviews we read, four name Sunquest or MYSIS, none names CLS, and most describe hospital or clinical work. Across those 9 company-wide reviews, seven call the software easy to use or to move through and four say new staff learn it quickly, while two find it hard for new users at first, one of them calling it clunky. The same Clinisys-wide reviews raise three other complaints, each in two of the 9: the software is slow, an order is hard to correct or cancel once entered, and getting from one function to another takes too many clicks or detours.

Compliance in practice

Clinisys’s package pages list the standards CLS is presented as supporting, and describe traceability in more detail: chain of custody and an audit trail across the specimen lifecycle on the Toxicology page, document control, SOPs, non-conformances and staff competency records on the Clinical Pathology page. For a public health or environmental laboratory, that traceability is the relevant evidence. For GMP quality control, no electronic signature workflow, validation package or GAMP 5 documentation is published, and Clinisys lists its pharma offering as coming soon; that documentation is worth requesting during selection.

Clinisys LIMS FAQ

Is Clinisys Laboratory Solution the replacement for HORIZON LIMS and Element LIMS?

Clinisys says the full capabilities of HORIZON LIMS are now part of Clinisys Laboratory Solution, and that Element LIMS capabilities now enhance it. It still handles Element LIMS sales and upgrades.

How long does a Clinisys LIMS implementation take?

Clinisys publishes no duration. It says its pre-configured content packages shorten installation and that customization lengthens it. The one documented timeline is Alaska's move of an existing Clinisys system to the cloud: 75 days instead of the planned 180, reached with Clinisys's transition team by limiting the go-live to what was essential.

Does Clinisys Laboratory Solution cover clinical testing?

Since version 2025.2, released in November 2025, the same platform carries Clinical Pathology and Genomics LIS packages. Clinisys sells them exclusively in North America, and the Clinical Pathology package only in US English.

Which laboratories use Clinisys LIMS products?

Public records show state public health laboratories in Michigan, Alaska, New Jersey and New Hampshire, EPA Region 4's laboratory in Athens, Georgia (Element), and the City of Fresno's wastewater laboratory (Element). These records refer to Clinisys or its earlier HORIZON and Element products rather than to Clinisys Laboratory Solution by name.
