Thermo Fisher
Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today announced a new
informatics solution specifically developed for laboratory professionals
working in water and environmental testing laboratories. The Thermo Scientific Water
and Environmental LIMS is preconfigured to enable customers to comply with
water and environmental regulatory guidelines and requirements, and it is built
on the comprehensive functionality provided by the company's flagship laboratory
information management system, Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS. The
company will showcase the Water and Environmental LIMS at Thermo Scientific
booth # 4145 during WEFTEC 2011, being held October 17 - 19, in Los Angeles.
Water and environmental
testing laboratories face unique challenges with delivering accurate,
consistent and traceable results. In the current economic environment, it's
more important than ever to standardize workflows and processes that facilitate
regulatory compliance, ensure public safety and monitor quality throughout the
entire sampling, testing and reporting process. The Safe Drinking Water Act,
and the subsequent release of the EPA's Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs
Survey and Assessment, puts pressure on municipal, state and privately owned
water facilities to remain in compliance with mandatory limits for an
increasing array of contaminants. Thermo Scientific Water and Environmental
LIMS offers tools and functionality to enable lab managers to deliver the
defensible data necessary to meet the compliance requirements of the Safe
Drinking Water Act.
Thermo Scientific
Water and Environmental LIMS helps laboratory professionals make faster, more
informed decisions at all levels of the organization, delivering information needed
to manage laboratory processes and respond to the most current regulatory and
business demands. Purpose-built functionality helps labs:
- Establish protocols and documentation
methods that meet NELAC compliance requirements and ISO 17025 guidelines
- Automate reports and records to ensure
full traceability
- Improve lab and workflow efficiencies
Developed in
conjunction with environmental experts for ISO 17025 and NELAC requirements,
Thermo Scientific Water and Environmental LIMS has built-in functionality designed
for workflows found in water and environmental labs. Pre-defined test methods,
batch sequences, regulatory reports and other templates allow customers to
reduce administration overhead, cost and implementation time. In addition,
comprehensive dashboard functionality addresses the regulatory and operational
needs of three distinct but interrelated aspects of a laboratory's business:
personnel, quality assurance and the customer.
Companies working
within the environmental and water and wastewater sectors face many challenges
in improving efficiencies, processes and traceability while ensuring regulatory
compliance. To assist
the industry in meeting these challenges, a series of five educational on-demand
webinars is now available for viewing at
www.thermoscientific.com/waterandwastewater.
Developed in collaboration with industry experts from EM2 Solutions, Pilgrim
Software and the Winvale Group, the webinars address topics relevant to
professionals working in the environmental and waste testing industries.
"The pace of
regulatory change in the water and environmental industry is sometimes faster
than the adoption of new technologies to meet those new requirements," said Dave
Champagne, vice president and general manager, Informatics, Thermo Fisher
Scientific. "With the EPA establishing compliance parameters for five new
contaminants every year, the cycle of certification for state, municipal and
privately owned water supplies is in a constant state of oversight. Our Water
and Environmental LIMS will help industry professionals meet these ongoing
challenges. And by developing this on-demand webinar series with our industry
and technical partners, we are able to deliver an overview of the key issues to
the industry and contribute to the adoption of newer technologies which can
enable easier and more cost effective regulatory compliance."
