LIMS
The Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) module is used in the laboratories for the management of samples, laboratory users, instruments, standards and other laboratory functions such as workflow automation and generating certificates of analysis.
Because the system is web-based it requires no special client-side installation, thus allowing accredited users the opportunity to see analysis results in real time from any web browser and from any operating system.
It can be configured to be used by an unlimited number of users. Each user owns an interface, protected by security mechanisms such as a login and a password. This offers a high level of security and privacy of laboratory data. Users have customized interfaces based on their role description. A laboratory manager might have full access to the system, whereas technicians might have access only to functionality needed for their individual work-tasks.
The system is endlessly configurable and can incorporate new functionality quickly and with ease.
The LIMS module is uniquely designed in that it leverages off the other modules thus providing the organization not only with result information but an integrated view of quality per manufacturing process. This includes:
• Stockpile Quality Control based on Weighted Average Analysis
• Email and or SMS notification when sample results are out of Specification
• Mass Balance analysis from product to element level
The LIMS module automatically extract and save data from analysis equipment (e.g Spectro ICP, Eltra C/S etc), thereby reducing the risk of faulty results transfer and ensures fast turn around times for samples
It allows for the generation of certificates of Analysis with integrated electronic authorization and distribution workflow.
