Proteomics prep is long and branching. Digestion, labeling, fractionation, cleanup, and acquisition each carry their own reagents and their own failure modes, and a TMT multiplex ties a dozen samples together in one channel set that has to be tracked as a unit. If that link breaks anywhere in the chain, there is no reliable way to tell which result belongs to which original sample. 

The instruments generate more data than any lab can hand-record, and the LIMS usually stops at the sample list. Run metadata, acquisition method, and pipeline output end up in the vendor software and a shared drive, disconnected from the sample record. So when a result looks off, there's nothing to trace it back to. 

Labbit tracks the multiplex set, the digest, and the acquisition run as connected entities, captures instrument metadata through integration, and hands off to the analysis pipeline with sample identity intact. When a result looks wrong, tracing it to the label lot or the acquisition batch takes one query.
