Specifications include, but are not limited to: The goals of the Laboratory Information Management System Project are: • To increase laboratory productivity and improve data accuracy through LIMS/instrument interfaces and automated sample and Quality Control (QC) data upload. • To provide instrumentation interfaces (Multi-Parameter Instruments) for sample information upload, and download. Information to include sample ID’s, and all analytical batch QC information. • To implement laboratory result retrieval and automated reporting. • To have the capability to retrieve sample and QC data for trend analysis and range of logs charting. • To have the capability to generate Chain of Custody for all samples received. • Ability to remotely enter field sample information and testing results (via iPad or other agreed upon hardware). To subsequently have sample information saved to the LIMS RFP #: 8227-W5 Page 4 of 14 server. Thus, saving time during sample receiving once samples are brought to the laboratory. • To provide automatically populated Massachusetts DEP, as well as customizable laboratory reports and deliverables. • To provide invoicing generation for laboratory clients. • Provide documentation of instrument calibration information. • To have the capability to manage inventory of standards including expiration date and lot numbers.
