Real Life Testimonials

“Our previous LIS system can not interface our Mass Spec to the system, we had to manually enter the data. Apex has experts to solve this problem, we have been happily using this LIS for 6 years.”

Lab Manager | Reference Lab

“The system was affordable and the customer service is great. I'm able to get on a first name basis with employees so it feels familiar and personal. Apex LIS is definitely worth the price.”

Lab Manager | OK State University

“An LIS in the POL results in more timely results without transcription errors. However, most LIS are designed for large hospitals and are so expensive that the average POL cannot even consider the cost of installing one. Apex has changed that. I am the Lab Manager in a POL with 10 providers performing over 100,000 labs on an annual basis, and I must say that this was our best purchase ever! As a plus, the customer support has been very timely and personable.”

Lab Manager | 11 Doctor Pediatric Practice

“We are very pleased with our Apex LIS. It is easy to use and meets all of our needs in a complex pathology lab. Apex was willing to customize the LIS to meet some our unique requirements. Apex support is both professional and responsive.”

Lab Manager | FDA National Clinical Pathology Lab

“For the price it's really hard to beat. Anytime we have any issue we are able to get a tech on the phone and get the issue resolved in a timely manner. When I was brought on as the IT Director, this app was the biggest open issue. After doing some testing I found that our ISP latency response time was extremely high thus being the underlying issue with the app communicating with our cloud server. Called and had a discussion with Oscar, we had a test console deployed into our Citrix environment that evening and began testing the next day. Console ran like a champ and my staff couldn't be more thankful!”
