Yes — there are several sample tracking platforms that support barcoded sample tracking and can integrate with LIMS. The best fit depends on whether you want a standalone sample management system, a LIMS with sample-tracking built in, or a lightweight barcode-first tool.

Common options to look at

  • LabWare LIMS — strong enterprise LIMS with barcode/sample tracking and many integration options.
  • LabVantage LIMS — supports barcode workflows and external system integration.
  • Thermo Fisher SampleManager LIMS — widely used for sample tracking, barcode scanning, and lab integrations.
  • STARLIMS — barcode-based sample chain-of-custody and LIMS connectivity.
  • Benchling — good for R&D/biotech sample tracking, barcode support, and API-based integrations.
  • Quartzy — more inventory/sample coordination focused; integration capabilities vary by setup.
  • eLabNext / eLabJournal — sample management with barcode support and integration options.
  • Freezerworks — strong in biobanking/sample tracking, barcode support, and LIMS integration.
  • Sapio Sciences — configurable sample management with barcode workflows and LIMS features.
  • Apex Healthware / other biobank platforms — often support barcode labeling and downstream LIMS integration.

Integration methods to confirm

When evaluating, ask whether they support:

  • API integration (REST/SOAP)
  • HL7 / ASTM / CSV / file-based exchange
  • Direct LIMS connectors
  • Webhook/event-based sync
  • Barcode label printer compatibility (Zebra, etc.)

What to check before choosing

  • Do you need 1D/2D barcodes?
  • Do you need chain-of-custody and audit trails?
  • Will it integrate with an existing enterprise LIMS or replace it?
  • Do you need offline scanning, mobile support, or robotic instrument integration?

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a shortlist by use case (biobank, clinical lab, R&D, QA/QC), or
  2. a comparison table of these platforms with their integration capabilities.
