Free tools for pathology labs
Small utilities that do one job each, in your browser, with no account and no upload. They are useful on their own, and we would rather you knew where they stop than found out later.
- Bill and invoice generatorYour letterhead, the patient, the tests and the rates. Discount and tax if you charge them. Prints on A4, or saves as a PDF from the print dialog.One bill at a time. No ledger, no bill numbering, no patient history.Open the tool
- Report template builderLay out a blank A4 report: patient and specimen fields, your own test rows with units and reference intervals, remarks, and two signatory lines.A blank form to print. It holds no results and verifies nothing.Open the tool
- Software cost calculatorPut your own figures against your current way of working and a software one: licences, setup, hardware, and the hours a person spends on paperwork.Arithmetic on your numbers. It has no prices of its own, ours included.Open the tool
- Test price list makerBuild a rate list by department, print it for the reception desk, and export the rows as CSV so the same list can be loaded somewhere else later.A printed sheet and a CSV. The prices are yours; none are supplied.Open the tool
What a utility cannot do
Each tool above starts from an empty form every time. That is the whole difference between a utility and a laboratory system, and it is worth being clear about before you spend an afternoon on one.
It does not remember
Close the tab and the patient, the tests and the rates are gone. A lab needs the same patient found by phone number next month, and last month’s bills still there.
It does not number anything
You type the bill number. A system issues it from a counter that cannot repeat or skip, which is what makes a day’s collection reconcilable at all.
It does not follow the sample
A bill is the start of the work, not the end. Nothing here barcodes a tube, tracks who ran it, flags a result or records who released the report.
If a utility is all you need, use it and ignore the rest of this site. If you are weighing up software, what is genuinely free for an Indian lab goes through the options, open-source systems included.
Set up your lab this afternoon.
Create your organisation, add your tests, print the first barcode. If you would rather see it first, ask for a walkthrough.
