A Zero Upfront Cost LIMS for Drinking Water & Wastewater Testing Labs

Digitally Transform Operations With CloudLIMS’ Preconfigured Water LIMS

A Rapid Deployment, SaaS LIMS For Potable Water & Wastewater Labs

Seamlessly Manage Workflows Using CloudLIMS -A SaaS, in the Cloud Water LIMS

Water testing provides valuable information on water quality and its suitability for various purposes. Some of the common sources of water contamination are soil erosion, use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, pollution, disposal of garbage in or near water bodies, an exponential increase in population, and accidental chemical or oil spills.

Frequent water testing helps monitor changes in the quality of water and address them early enough. Water should also be tested following unexpected events such as accidental chemical spills. Water testing laboratories need to receive and register increasing volumes of samples, store and analyze them, and report test results to clients and federal and state regulatory agencies.

CloudLIMS enables water testing laboratories to automate their processes, eliminate data silos through centralized data management, and keep up with federal and state regulatory requirements, thereby boosting productivity.

Easily Achieve ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Accreditation Using CloudLIMS’ Comprehensive Water LIMS

QA/QC Management

Manage QC samples and auto-calculate complex test results, compare results of QC samples with the actual test samples to identify analytical errors and send out multiple test results for validation and approval before releasing them to clients to ensure error-free and accurate reporting.

Document Management

Manage internal and external documents such as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), validated test methods, drawings, and manuals, and provide role-based access to authorized users.

Chain-of-Custody Management

Monitor the movement of water samples throughout their entire life cycle by maintaining an electronic Chain-of-Custody (CoC).

Instrument Calibration and Maintenance Management

Manage the information of all the instruments used during water testing, including the manufacturer, date of manufacture, serial and model number, current and next calibration and maintenance dates, and set alerts to remind you of the scheduled calibration and maintenance ahead of time.

Staff Training Management

Maintain valid and up-to-date information on all staff credentials, training, and competency. You can generate staff competency reports and notify staff members about upcoming training programs.

CloudLIMS - A Secure, Truly Configurable LIMS Purpose-Built for Water and Wastewater Testing with Built-in Quality Management System

Automate Sample Tracking

Store sample data and sampling location details, track samples using barcodes, print labels, flag samples approaching expiration date, and maintain a complete, unbroken chain-of-custody from when the samples are received to when they are disposed of.

Automate Data Management

Manage the end-to-end flow of data, assuring data quality, validity, and integrity at all times.

Manage Tests

Manage tests and their results such as tests for temperature, pH, salinity, chloride, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, nitrate and phosphate, redox, and heavy metals. CloudLIMS maintains a test CoC and tracks turnaround and hold times. You can configure flagging sets to automatically flag out-of-specification results and print labels with barcodes for multiple tests.

Generate Custom CoAs

Generate professional CoAs containing sample information, test details, and multi-analyte test results for clients and state and federal reporting. You can generate CoAs in a batch for multiple clients, and deliver them automatically over the client portal, thereby reducing the turnaround time. You can include a QR code on CoAs for authentication and an ID to uniquely identify each CoA.

Instrument & Software Integration

Water testing laboratories receive hundreds of samples and generate massive volumes of analytical data on a day-to-day basis. Manual transfer of data from analytical instruments, such as balances, spectrophotometers, pH and oxygen meters, Ion Chromatography instruments, FTIR, GFAA, and ICP mass spectrophotometers, to a LIMS is error-prone and time-consuming. For effective management of growing data volumes and laboratory automation, instrument and software integration is indispensable. Instrument and software integration facilitates data transfer from analytical instruments and software to a LIMS respectively, thereby eliminating chances of transcription errors, data redundancy, and ensuring data integrity. Furthermore, it helps digitize laboratory workflows, saving time and resources and ensuring fast turnaround.

How CloudLIMS Supports Instrument and Software Integration?

CloudLIMS supports instrument and software integration in the following ways:

Instrument Integration: CSV/XLS is a standard output file type generated by most analytical instruments. The CSV file mapping enables data to be imported from multiple instruments into a LIMS. CloudLIMS periodically reads instrument generated CSV files and maps the headers present in the files with the correct fields in CloudLIMS, thereby transferring the analytical data to CloudLIMS seamlessly.

Software Integration: CloudLIMS supports integration with ERP, such as SAP, SCADA systems (Wonderware), iHistorian, Almax’s Operator 10, HACH WIMS, WaterTrax, Linko, Enfotech, statistical analysis software packages such as NWA Quality Analyst and SAS JMP, and others. The statistical software packages enable downstream data analysis. Furthermore, CloudLIMS supports integration with third-party billing software such as QuickBooks, Peachtree. This enables laboratories to seamlessly manage critical business metrics and streamline their business operations.
