Make Your Lab Results Speak in LSM

Why Add Color?

Plain numbers work, but colors speak faster. With LabCollector’s LSM color gradient feature (available on the latest version v4.0948), labs can now visualize results at a glance, whether you’re comparing glucose levels or tracking PCR amplification thresholds, you no longer have to hunt for outliers – they’ll jump right off the page.

For example, in a diagnostic lab running 500+ patient samples a day, highlighting only the abnormal test results saves time during review and allows for faster reactions by lab technicians.

What's New?

The color gradient tool lets you set up threshold-based color coding for your test results.

You decide:

Which value ranges to highlight
What color to use for low, in-range, and high values
Whether to apply this to numeric or calculated fields

It’s fully flexible. This works even when your thresholds are dynamic or depend on other parameters.

🛠️ How to Use It?

Go to LSM > Admin > Preferences > Parameters, then choose the test level
Choose the “numeric” or “calculated field” data type
Set your numeric ranges: Low, In-range, High
Pick a custom color for each
Add the tag ##results_meter## to your report template

Voilà! Your reports now show color bars that match the results, so your team and clients see what’s critical, fast.

💡 Some Use Cases:

🔬 Hematology:

Automatically highlight low hemoglobin or high white blood cell counts. Works great for quick clinician review.

⚗️ PCR Workflows:

Create a color-coded Ct average output. Instantly spot values over 35 or failed runs based on your own scale.

🌊 Water Quality & Food Safety:

Color thresholds for pesticide levels, contamination markers, or residue detection, even if they’re pulled from averages or formulas.

Science is hard. Reading results shouldn’t be.

This small feature brings a big impact: it helps your lab become faster, smarter, and easier to trust. Let your results speak for themselves in color.
