Run the Science. Win the Business. Keep the Client.

Digital sample intake, client portal, and invoicing in one system. Live in 4 weeks.
Stop the Monday Avalanche
Samples dropped off over the weekend are invisible Monday morning: a queue nobody can plan for. Milva Lab logs every intake digitally, so your team starts the week with full visibility of today's and tomorrow's workload.
Digital chain of custody. No paper forms.
Handwritten requisitions with missing fields are audit risks and delay sources. Digital intake eliminates errors and builds chain-of-custody automatically from day one. ISO 17025-ready from the first order.
Clients calling for status are one step from leaving
If a client calls to ask 'when will my results be ready?' you're already behind. Milva Lab's client portal gives real-time visibility. Clients track samples like a parcel. Status calls drop to zero.
Live in 4 weeks
Our structured onboarding is built to get you live in 4 weeks. No IT project, no operational pause. Same process applies to every lab we work with.
The client portal your competitors can't demo
When five labs bid on the same accredited analysis, the contract goes to the one with the better client experience. Milva Lab is the only EU mid-market LIMS for environmental labs with a dedicated client portal at this delivery speed.
Quote to invoice in one system
Order intake, lab workflow, result delivery, and invoicing: connected in one workflow. No re-entry across platforms. Invoice generates automatically when the report is approved.
How you get started
From paper requisitions to go-live in 4 weeks
We built Milva Lab around your day-to-day lab operations, not a generic IT rollout. Here's the path.
Digital sample intake from day one
We migrate your existing sample types and analysis setup into Milva Lab. Paper requisitions and spreadsheets get retired. Every intake is logged digitally, and chain-of-custody builds itself automatically.
Client portal replaces the status call
Your clients log in and track sample status in real time, like a parcel. Your support line stops being a status call center, and your team gets the time back.
Live in 4 weeks
Our structured onboarding process is designed to get your lab into full production in 4 weeks, with no prior IT project or operational downtime.
Milva Lab vs. traditional LIMS
- ✓A traditional LIMS manages samples and data internally. Milva Lab adds the client portal, CRM integration, and automated invoicing on top.
- ✓Legacy systems typically require 3–6 months to implement with external consultants. Milva Lab is live in 4 weeks via structured onboarding.
- ✓Traditional LIMS rarely include a client-facing portal. Milva Lab's client portal gives clients real-time sample status, a differentiator when bidding for contracts.
- ✓Classic LIMS are engineered for internal users. Milva Lab covers the full revenue cycle: from sample intake to invoice in one connected system.

Common questions
What is Milva Lab?
Milva Lab is a cloud-based LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) built for commercial environmental and building investigation laboratories with 15–50 staff. It covers the entire workflow from digital sample intake and internal lab operations to client portal and automated invoicing, in one integrated system. Labs go live in 4 weeks with no prior IT project.
Who is Milva Lab designed for?
Milva Lab is built for commercial service laboratories performing environmental analysis and building surveys, typically labs with 15–50 staff handling samples for external clients. It is especially relevant for labs still using paper requisitions, spreadsheets, or legacy LIMS systems that want to differentiate on client experience rather than competing on price alone.
What is the difference between Milva Lab and a traditional LIMS?
A traditional LIMS manages laboratory data internally. Milva Lab adds the commercial layer on top: a client portal clients use to track sample status in real time, automated invoicing linked to the order workflow, and integration with CRM and business intelligence. It is LIMS + client experience + business intelligence in one system.
How quickly can we get started with Milva Lab?
Our target implementation time is 4 weeks, with no prior IT project or operational downtime. Every lab we work with follows the same structured onboarding process.
What does Milva Lab cost?
Milva Lab starts from €4,999 per year for the Professional plan (includes Starter). This covers analysis setup, staff management, equipment management, and result and reporting workflows. Add-on modules such as Client Platform and Invoicing are priced separately.
Does Milva Lab integrate with our existing systems?
Milva Lab is built as part of the Milva IO ecosystem and integrates directly with Client Platform, Invoicing, Milva CRM, and Milva Hub. For labs with an existing LIMS, Milva IO can be connected via API so you keep your current solution and add the commercial layer on top.
