Accelerated Technology Laboratories (ATL) has introduced Sample Master LIMS 8.5, its flagship LIMS product, which features a range of user-suggested enhancements.
These suggestions came via ATL Technical Support and a variety of customer forums (ATL User Group, LIMS Boot Camps, training webinars, industry conferences) where ATL discusses LIMS requirements with its clients. In addition, ATL continually monitors the regulatory compliance requirements for core customer segments like environmental, food and beverage, agriculture, public health and biotechnology and changes in these requirements are reflected in this latest update.
The new functionality includes: workload management for both instruments and analysts into the Resource Management module; wildcard support on the 'Master Query'; additional sample fields added to the 'Master Query'; standards management into Chemical Inventory module; QC batch tracking of standards; automatic notifications on results utilising user created criteria such as over/under limits, calculations, etc.; enhanced fax/email configurations; enhanced QC batching including batching by analysis method; ability to reprint multiple samples and multiple orders; modified PDF report naming for auto reporting; due dates for orders and reports; sortable custom report listing; and enhanced information for samples, instruments, contacts, results, laboratory, etc.
