Accelerated Technology Laboratories (ATL) has introduced the XL BOD Master for automated data management in wastewater laboratories.
The ATL XL BOD Master is an Excel-based software tool that has been integrated into Sample Master Pro Lims, which will automatically calculate and report the BOD/CBOD results based upon Standard Methods criteria in seconds.
The software will flag any data that is not within acceptable limits and will complete all required calculations.
It can be used by laboratory personnel and operators with minimal training.
It also provides enhanced data integrity.
The ATL XL BOD Master is able to provide customised or template analysis sheets with breaks between samples for ease of tracking final results.
A drop-down menu is included for adding samples, dilutions or replicates in building an analysis sheet.
Results for samples are flagged in orange when they are not within the BOD/CBOD data criteria.
All BOD/CBOD results used in calculating the reported BOD/CBOD are colour coded blue.
All calculations can be automated with the press of a button.
The ATL XL BOD Master is integrated into Sample Master Pro Lims for automated data management.
It can also be purchased as a stand-alone solution.
As an integrated solution, all data is captured and stored electronically.
The system is complete with integrated calculations and error-checking mechanisms to minimise transcription errors.
All data can be stored in a secure master database where data is available for automated reporting, emailing or viewing by other members of staff.
