# Announcements

Clarity LIMS software is a powerful laboratory information management system (LIMS) designed to optimize genomics sample and workflow management. It enables labs to track samples, streamline complex tasks, generate sample sheets, and identify poor-quality samples before they reach the sequencing system.

* Saves time and minimizes errors in sample handling through an automated workflow.
* Out-of-the box integration with Illumina instruments. Accelerate adoption of Illumina NGS and array protocols with preconfigured workflows that require no coding experience.
* Designed with compliance features including data entry validation, workflow enforcement, audit trails, electronic signatures and role-based permissions.
* Easily collect and share data in real-time with external clients via LabLink. Collaborate on sample submission, status, and results delivery in a single, secure environment.
* Scales with laboratory needs, accommodating third-party instruments and software through a robust RESTful Application Programming Interface (API).
* Flexible deployment options with cloud and local implementations supported.
