NovoPath review
A pathology-focused LIS for managing specimens, workflows, instrument links and results.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
NovoPath is a laboratory information system for pathology, molecular and clinical laboratories. It is aimed at mid-market and enterprise organizations coordinating specimen processing, testing workflows, data exchange and result reporting, including across departments or locations. Its stated scope makes it most relevant to laboratories that need an LIS centered on pathology or molecular work rather than a general-purpose healthcare platform.
The operational feature set connects specimen tracking with laboratory workflow management and electronic result reporting. NovoPath also supports HL7 and healthcare interoperability, alongside direct interfaces to laboratory instruments. Together, these capabilities address the movement of specimens and results through lab processes and the exchange of information with other healthcare systems. Laboratories should assess whether the particular interfaces and workflow requirements they need are supported as part of vendor discussions.
NovoPath is offered as a web platform, with the product marketed directly to laboratories and healthcare organizations. According to NovoPath's public pricing approach, prospective customers are directed to contact the vendor rather than select from published list-price plans. That sales-led route may suit organizations evaluating a lab system against specific operational needs, but it gives buyers no public plan tiers to compare before starting a conversation. Laboratories seeking pathology and molecular workflow support, specimen tracking, instrument connectivity and result reporting should consider NovoPath; teams needing a broader platform scope or transparent self-service plan pricing may prefer to evaluate alternatives.
