Key LIMS Features Built for Environmental Labs

Control field sampling, custody, analytical work, QC review and authorised environmental reporting in one LIMS.

Logistics and Chain of Custody

Log water, air, soil, or waste samples by site, GPS coordinates, and sampling plans. Record chain-of-custody events from field collection through receipt, analysis, storage and final report.

Controlled Environmental Reporting

Auto-flag results that exceed permit limits. Generate discharge monitoring reports and compliance summaries on schedule.

Analytics and Metrology

Integrate ICP-MS, GC-MS, spectrophotometers, and field meters directly. Results flow into the LIMS.

Manage Quality

Document every sample handoff with timestamps, signatures, and conditions. Defensible records for regulatory review.

Consolidate Subcontractors

Send samples for specialised tests and unify all results in one report. Monitor turnaround, costs, and quality in one place.

Deliver Reports Faster

Municipalities, consultants, and industrial clients expect fast results. Generate and send branded reports from the system.

Environmental LIMS Based on Odoo

Lims.science is built on Odoo ERP, a widely adopted platform used by more than 28 million users globally. As a result, your environmental lab system integrates natively with accounting, inventory, purchasing, and CRM modules, without complex integrations.

FAQs

How does the system support ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation?

Yes. Workflows can be configured to support the requirements relevant to your laboratory’s ISO/IEC 17025 scope. Audit trails, method validation records, calibration logs, and document control are built in. Controlled records and traceability can make accreditation assessments more efficient.

Which environmental sample types can it handle?

Surface water, groundwater, drinking water, wastewater, air emissions, soil, sediment, hazardous waste, sludge and more. Each matrix has its own prep steps, parameters, and regulatory limits.

Can it generate EPA discharge monitoring reports?

Controlled DMR and other reporting templates can be configured for the laboratory’s applicable programme and jurisdiction. Version-controlled permit limits and decision rules populate authorised data and flags for review before submission.

Does it support field sampling and chain of custody?

Absolutely. Log samples in the field with GPS coordinates, timestamps, and sampling conditions. Document every handoff with signatures and custody seals for defensible records.

Can it integrate with our existing instruments?

Interfaces can be scoped for supported ICP-MS, GC-MS, ion-chromatography, spectrophotometer, turbidimeter and portable field-meter outputs. Transfer rules, method binding, validation checks and exceptions are defined during implementation.

What kind of onboarding and support do we get?

We handle setup, data migration, instrument integration, and staff training. Ongoing support includes system updates, regulatory template adjustments, and technical assistance.

Stay Ahead of Environmental Compliance

Deploy a cloud-based LIMS purpose-built for water, air, soil, and waste testing. Automate reporting, meet permit deadlines, and support regulatory review.

Emissions analysis plan management

Manage approved emissions analysis plans from monitoring design through authorised report.

Supports controlled monitoring and evidence. Compliance depends on the applicable permit, jurisdiction, validated scope and laboratory procedures.
