Environmental laboratories, especially contract labs, can be asked to handle perhaps the most diverse range of sample types of any laboratory
Furthermore the results can have legal implications, so it is vital that sample recording, reporting and auditing are as accurate as the analysis itself.
QSI says its Lims products have been serving environmental laboratories for many years, and the latest Winlims incorporates extensive functionality for the environmental analysis sector.
Remote sample login, in conjunction with automatic routine sample scheduling, simplifies and speeds the task of sample entry.
A sample can be taken at a remote location, logged directly into the Winlims database via a wireless link or the web.
The sampling routine and analytical parameters, and any other relevant information, can be automatically predefined, eliminating the need for manual data entry with its attendant errors.
The sheer volume of samples processed at many environmental laboratories makes automated analysis practically essential.
The Winlims Interlink module provides a by-directional interface not only to these instruments but also to any on-line monitors in use, providing improved data accuracy and significant time savings.
QA/QC procedures, essential to demonstrate the validity of results can also be scheduled and operated via Winlims.
Crystal Reports is the preferred report generator, and QSI's specialist support for this tool helps clients conform to any mandatory reporting protocols.
For the contract laboratory, there are comprehensive quotation and invoicing facilities as well.
