Environmental testing is unique in terms of the required types of sampling, testing, and reporting. LabWare LIMS is designed to facilitate environmental testing in several ways, as described below: 1. Sampling Points - LabWare LIMS can operate in a sampling point centric manner that matches how environmental samples are collected. Sampling points can be part of higher level groupings, like collection runs. 2. Schedulers - Several different schedulers are available for pre-logging samples, assigning tests, and printing bar-code labels. There are frequency based schedulers, calendar schedulers, and a comprehensive scheduler specifically for large scale water sampling. 3. QA/QC Batches - QA/QC batches are supported along with protocols for defining how samples are tested as a group. Standards, blanks, spikes, duplicates and other quality control samples are all supported. Batches are integrated with a system for managing standards and reagents, with full traceability. Standard analysis features, like dilution factors and cross test calculations play an important role in environmental testing. 4. Aliquots, Subsamples, and Composites - LabWare LIMS has full support for making aliquots of samples where some tests are performed on a fraction of an original sample; subsamples where all testing is performed on replicate fractions of the original sample; and, composite samples which are made by combining two or more samples. 5. Instrument Integration - Full instrument integration is available to all types of instruments used in environmental testing. Downloading of run-sequence files to instruments like ICP and CDS is supported. LabWare LIMS functions equally well in centralized or decentralized deployments, and offers a variety of tools for synchronizing and controlling business rules and data definition across a distributed enterprise. Our customers benefit from a high degree of investment protection. LabWare LIMS adheres to technology standards yet avoids brand dependencies. As a result, our solutions are hardware, operating system and database independent. The LabWare LIMS Client runs on any contemporary MS Windows variant, the Server component may be installed on anything from Windows to UNIX to Linux, and it may utilize any relational database from Oracle to SQL Server to DB2. Industry surveys grade LabWare highest in overall value for good reason. Our product packaging and licensing are straightforward, and are based on a comprehensive single license without the complexity and inflated cost associated with optional modules and plug-ins. Capabilities such lot management, instrument integration, analyst training, instrument calibration and maintenance, and reagents inventory, are all included in an integrated and highly configurable package. LabWare then provides a full range of training and consultative services to assist in adapting the system to conform to and enhance your business processes, all accomplished without any invasive changes to the software. As a result, your system is ready for productive use more quickly, and may be implemented more effectively. LIMS is a mission critical application within your business, and LabWare recognizes that implementation of your LIMS is a rewarding yet demanding process. Our goal with every customer is to assure long-term success and payback. This is accomplished not only with the project services just described, but also through the provision of a strong after care program. Our customers benefit from an aggressive program of product improvement, as well as from a responsive technical support service. Revisions and enhancements are made available periodically based on a modular release methodology, enabling customers to add to the utility of their installed systems with minimal validation burden or disruption to their ongoing operations. Technical support is offered through a consistent and cohesive global support channel, and includes LabWare experts available by telephone as well as on-line resources accessible over the web.
