FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The agreement appoints Legion BioSolutions as the regional dealer for QLIMS in the genomics sector across seven Middle Eastern markets, supporting the region's rapidly expanding national genome programmes and clinical research infrastructure.
London, 26 May 2026 - Legion BioSolutions Limited and OnQ Software Pty Ltd are pleased to announce that they have signed a dealer agreement appointing Legion BioSolutions as the regional partner for QLIMS, OnQ Software’s flagship laboratory information management system, across the genomics sector in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Jordan.
Under the agreement, Legion BioSolutions will lead promotion, distribution, configuration, and regional support for QLIMS deployments to genomics laboratories, research institutions, and national programmes across the territory. This expands Legion BioSolutions’ professional services offering with a mature, cloud-native LIMS platform purpose-built for high-throughput, regulated environments - directly addressing one of the most pressing infrastructure needs reported by the institutions Legion is currently engaged with.
QLIMS is a modern SaaS laboratory informatics platform trusted by laboratories worldwide, with a strong track record in genomics including major institutions such as Children's Cancer Institute Australia. The platform offers no-code configuration, API-driven integrations, and an evolutionary architecture that allows laboratories to adapt as their needs change, alongside built-in support for industry standards including ISO 17025 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11. QLIMS can be integrated with Illumina, Oxford Nanopore and MGI sequencing devices allowing seamless experimental tracking. Recent releases have introduced advanced project management, instrument tracking, inbuilt business intelligence dashboards, and the QLIMS Bridge Module for instrument and data system integration.
For OnQ Software, the partnership provides specialist regional reach into a market where demand for clinical-grade, scalable LIMS infrastructure is accelerating. Legion BioSolutions brings deep technical and commercial relationships across the region’s genome programmes, research hospitals, and precision medicine initiatives, along with the bioinformatics and data engineering expertise to ensure QLIMS implementations integrate cleanly into broader sequencing and analytical workflows.
The agreement forms part of Legion BioSolutions’ broader strategy to assemble a best-in-class, vendor-agnostic technology stack for the institutions building the next generation of genomic infrastructure across the Middle East - combining specialist analytical, sample management, and data governance tools under a single regional point of contact.
“Sample tracking, workflow management, and audit-grade data governance are foundational to every credible clinical genomics programme - and the institutions we work with in the Gulf are building these capabilities at pace. OnQ Software has built a LIMS platform that is genuinely modern: cloud-native, no-code configurable, and proven in genomics environments. We’re proud to bring QLIMS to our clients as the LIMS layer of choice for the region’s most ambitious programmes.” - Dr Bhupinder Hundle, Co-Founder & CEO, Legion BioSolutions
“We are incredibly excited to partner with Legion BioSolutions to introduce QLIMS into the crucial genomics markets of the Gulf and Jordan. The region's commitment to building world class national genome programmes requires robust, scalable, and modern informatics infrastructure. Legion BioSolutions' deep local expertise and technical strength in bioinformatics make them the ideal partner to ensure QLIMS, a platform proven in high-throughput genomics, integrates seamlessly and supports these ambitious, clinical grade initiatives.” - Jonathan Gannoulis, CEO, OnQ Software
