FAQs
How does the system support ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation?
Yes. Workflows can be configured to support the requirements relevant to your laboratory’s ISO/IEC 17025 scope. Audit trails, method validation records, calibration logs, and document control are built in. Controlled records and traceability can make accreditation assessments more efficient.
Which environmental sample types can it handle?
Surface water, groundwater, drinking water, wastewater, air emissions, soil, sediment, hazardous waste, sludge and more. Each matrix has its own prep steps, parameters, and regulatory limits.
Can it generate EPA discharge monitoring reports?
Controlled DMR and other reporting templates can be configured for the laboratory’s applicable programme and jurisdiction. Version-controlled permit limits and decision rules populate authorised data and flags for review before submission.
Does it support field sampling and chain of custody?
Absolutely. Log samples in the field with GPS coordinates, timestamps, and sampling conditions. Document every handoff with signatures and custody seals for defensible records.
Can it integrate with our existing instruments?
Interfaces can be scoped for supported ICP-MS, GC-MS, ion-chromatography, spectrophotometer, turbidimeter and portable field-meter outputs. Transfer rules, method binding, validation checks and exceptions are defined during implementation.
What kind of onboarding and support do we get?
Stay Ahead of Environmental Compliance
Deploy a cloud-based LIMS purpose-built for water, air, soil, and waste testing. Automate reporting, meet permit deadlines, and support regulatory review.
Emissions analysis plan management
Manage approved emissions analysis plans from monitoring design through authorised report.
Supports controlled monitoring and evidence. Compliance depends on the applicable permit, jurisdiction, validated scope and laboratory procedures.
