OnLAB – LABORATORY MANAGEMENT

OnLAB is the core of the Lab Management module. This module allows managers to review final results, print reports, and run various management

statistics. Online LIMS data model is the unique one capable to handle routine (process) and non-routine (any) samples.

.

LabDATA – LABORATORY DATA

LabData is for the online self-service assay requests.

Lab clients can view published results. LabData eliminates the time-consuming report preparation and allows clients to access other information like sample tracking, report status, etc.

Online LIMS incorporates the lab’s natural and logical workflow in the design of their data model. This creates a clean and well-defined structure with two distinct modules: Analytical and Management. This structure has proven very successful and flexible and is easily adapted to any lab.

why Labs like Online LIMS

No client installation is required. Only a shortcut to the App located at the Server.

No ODBC configuration on client The only LIMS that can work with routine & non-routine samples LIMS is configurable by lab supervisors Real instrument integration system QA/QC system is user interactive Color coded work list menu, reflects status

Online LIMS incorporates the lab’s natural and logical workflow in the design of their data model. This creates a clean and well-defined structure with two distinct modules:

1.Analytical and Management. The Online Worksheet is at the core of the Analytical module and it integrates all instruments in the lab. 2.OnLab is the main module used for the lab management.

This structure has proven very successful and flexible and is easily adapted to any lab model.

SYSTEM DESIGN

System and Design reduces support and maintenance costs

Client-server architecture makes deployment very easy, only requiring adding short-cuts of the Online LIMS modules on the clients computer desktop. This can represent huge savings for IT by reducing support and maintenance cost. All applications and configuration are managed centrally on the server. Note: There is also no installation or setup required to install the Online LIMS applications on the server. Simply create a shared folder that can be accessed by the clients computer in the network.

Online LIMS applications will run in any MS Windows OS from WinXP to Win8.

Online LIMS backend database can use any version of MS SQL server from SQL Server 7 to SQL Server 2012, also supports SQL Sever Express edition.

System configuration and maintenance is complete in the hands of the client (by the lab staff! ) requiring very little or no IT support.

LABORATORY MANAGEMENT

OnLab - Laboratory Management Module, creates efficiencies OnLab supports two types of jobs simultaneously: Routine and Batch. Batch jobs are best suited for client requests that have variable number and type of analysis, for example Geology, Exploration, Water samples from clients, etc. Routine jobs are best suited for production environments where the analysis performed are routine in nature, usually a known sampling point within the process itself, example, Metallurgical process (copper, gold, zinc), Smelters, Refineries, etc. Routine jobs allows the lab staff and lab clients to quickly access historical data and do performance analysis effortlessly.

OnLab data can be easily shared with other systems, and interfaces can be built for third party ERP or Accounting systems. Online LIMS provides several SQL Server tools to allow the creation of third party interfaces as easily as possible.

OnLab supports an Excel-based solution to export data from Routine jobs and generate custom reports.

ELN - DIGITAL WORKBOOK

Online LIMS Worksheet - The laboratory technician's digital workbook. A powerful tool that is easy to learn and facilitates the work of lab staff. The Online Worksheet is an easy-to-use and a powerful tool able to manage easily complex and large methods. With its excel "look and feel", users are comfortable in a short time with minimal training. It has many built-in functions and tools specially designed to aid technicians in their daily work.

The Online Worksheet has extensive auditing and security functions in combination with an excellent quality control module, making laboratory accreditation a more "pleasant" and efficient process. Many laboratories have been able to get their accreditation using the Online LIMS system.

The Online Worksheet is able to retrieve data from many laboratory instruments either via serial connection or file transfer. Besides retrieving the instruments analysis results, the Worksheet also stores other instrument parameters such as dilution, standard deviation, uncertainty, notes, etc. This make the Worksheet a 3D tool that allows the chemist to work not only with the analysis results but with other parameters supplied by the instrument.

The Online Worksheet also has a "visual wave length selector" tool specially designed to work with large ICP result sets. This tool allows chemist to visually select the wave length to use within each element of an ICP method. The selected wave length markers are then converted to formulas before the results are calculated.
