Rotech Laboratories, a metallurgical testing and consultancy services operation based in Wednesbury, UK, is the latest company to take advantage of WinLIMS Rental from QSI
Part of the Rubery Owen group, Rotech's laboratories provide a diverse range of testing services including metallurgy, chemical analysis including ICP, mechanical failure analysis, corrosion and surface finish testing and non-destructive testing, and offer a 24-hour turnaround on urgent samples.
Rotech Laboratories has Ukas ISO 17025 accreditation and also complies with Rolls Royce requirements.
A standard WinLIMS out-of-the-box rental package will handle internal and external reporting, and is expected to lead to greater efficiency and accuracy within the operation and improved customer service levels.
QSI managing director Clive Collier commented: "The availability of software on a rental basis has dramatically reduced the cost to the larger laboratory of acquiring a Lims, and revolutionised access to the technology for smaller ones.
"According to one estimate, there are 14-15,000 laboratories of all kinds in the UK, of which only 20% have a Lims installed, so there are many laboratories out there that could enjoy the benefits of a Lims.
Rotech Laboratories' choice of WinLIMS Rental shows that a really comprehensive out-of-the-box Lims package can fully meet the needs of a multi-disciplined contract laboratory, and very cost-effectively too."
