Good to know
Vibe Tox is free software under the GNU GPL, version 3, and its source is on GitHub. It is a new project, developed with substantial AI assistance and tested on synthetic data, and it is provided as is. Each lab validates it for its intended use before patient testing (42 CFR 493.1291(a)); we can do that validation, and your laboratory director approves it.

Frequently asked questions
6 answers on file
Q01
Who gets six months of free support?
The first 10 labs to sign up. They get six months of full support at no cost: bug fixes and enhancements, instrument connectivity, system setup, new report configuration, validation for intended use, and the Patient Portal connection. After six months, and for later labs, contact us for pricing.
Q02
What is Vibe Tox?
A free, open-source (GPL-3.0-only) LIS for small US clinical toxicology labs. It runs as a desktop app on one lab computer, keeps working without internet, and covers orders through reports, QC, audit, backup and export. The source code is on GitHub.
Q03
Why pay for support if Vibe Tox is free?
The software is free; the work around it is not. GPLv3 expressly allows paid support. Support gives you people who fix defects, connect instruments, configure reports and validate the system, so your staff do not have to.
Q04
Is Vibe Tox ready for patient testing?
Only after it is validated for your intended use. Vibe Tox is a new project, developed with substantial AI assistance and tested on synthetic data, and it is provided as is under GPLv3. We can run and document that validation; under CLIA (42 CFR 493.1291(a)) your laboratory director approves the system for patient testing.
Q05
Do you build custom features for one lab?
No. We build enhancements that benefit all of our Vibe Tox clients, after internal approval. Your instrument connections, reports and configuration are part of standard support.
Q06
Should our lab choose Vibe Tox or LIMS IQ?
Vibe Tox fits a small toxicology lab that wants a free LIS on its own computer. Labs that need a cloud LIS, several sites, EHR interfaces, or integrated billing should look at LIMS IQ or LIMS IQ Lite.
