Water & Environmental LIMS

Ensuring standards compliance while reducing costs and errors

Water and Environmental LIMS solutions

Water and Environmental laboratories are responsible for testing water quality samples and reporting results to ensure compliance with local and national regulatory directives while maintaining tight quality standards and constantly reducing operating costs. The Xybion LIMS Water/Environmental System contains many unique features to aid the collection, management and testing of water and environmental samples.

Key Features of our Water and Environmental LIMS:

Manage all aspects of the collection and testing of water/environmental samples
Schedule sample collection to ensure service level agreements are met
Manage collection rounds, sample point locations, and bottle inventory with ease
Built-in quality control features that ensure testing follows directives and procedures
Charting functions to make trend analysis and reporting easy, and allow QC bracketing
QC limits that may be updated based on historic data
Web interface which allows remote sample collection, management and reporting

Sampling Routes and Bottle Collection

Water and Environmental Labs typically collect samples from specific collections routes for testing. The Xybion LIMS Water and Environmental solution can manage multiple sample zones, with multiple sampling points, each of which may require multiple bottles and/or containers specific to the testing required. This ensures that samples are collected in an ordered way, and arrive in the lab correctly labeled, with the required testing assigned. Ad-hoc test samples may also be added as needed.

Managing Lab Testing and Quality Control

The Xybion LIMS Water and Environmental solution includes built-in features for Quality Control (QC). User-definable runsheets allow multiple samples to be grouped together, along with QC standards, to test in a single run. QC standards may include spikes, duplicates, replicates and controls to meet the labs testing regime. The daily work may be managed to ensure the correct instruments and staff resources are allocated.

Highly flexible QC bracketing rules allow results to be automatically passed, or rejected, depending on the results of the QC samples being tested around the samples in the same run. Built-in QC charting allows QC limits to be monitored, and adjusted, over time. This enables the laboratory to adjust and tightly manage limits from past results, a common requirement within water/environmental laboratories.

Flexible Reporting

Certificates of Analysis may be created, as necessary, to report results along with a wide variety of other reporting functions to aid laboratory management. Pre-defined reports include sample turn-around-time (TAT), test TAT, sample volumes and status, as well as instrument and resource workloads. This allows laboratory managers to create monthly reports to demonstrate productivity, highlight bottlenecks, and identify areas for future improvement.

Whether you are testing water, wastewater, soil, air, gas or leachate samples the Xybion LIMS for Water/Environmental Solutions provides a solid framework that can be easily adapted to your exact testing and reporting needs.
