Key Features for Agricultural Labs
Control field samples, nutrient analysis, QC review, statistics and authorised agronomic reporting in one agricultural LIMS.
Track Field Samples
Log soil, plant, irrigation water, or fertiliser samples by farm, plot, and GPS tag in seconds. Full chain‑of‑custody keeps audits simple.
Customer-Configured Workflows
Auto‑route samples through prep, digestion, and instrument queues. Trigger tasks when moisture, pH, or N‑P‑K steps finish.
Analytics and Metrology
Plug ICP‑OES, AA, discrete analysers, balances, or spectrophotometers straight into the LIMS.
Enforce Quality Control
Set crop, soil, water and feed limits from local regulations, and enforce them in every analysis and release.
Statistics and Controlled Reporting
Generate controlled soil-fertility, plant-tissue and irrigation-water reports from authorised templates, with applicable methods, decision rules and reporting obligations identified for each service.
Integrate Farm ERP
Syncs with SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, JD Edwards, Oracle, Salesforce, and other farm management platforms via Odoo's open connectors.

FAQs
How does the LIMS support ISO/IEC 17025 for agronomy and soil laboratories?
Authorised workflows can be configured around requirements relevant to the laboratory’s ISO/IEC 17025 scope, including sample receipt, method execution, technical review, result authorisation and controlled records.
Can it pull results directly from our instruments?
Supported instrument interfaces can be scoped for ICP-OES, ICP-MS, AA, discrete auto-analysers, Kjeldahl systems, balances and moisture ovens. File formats and transfer rules are confirmed during implementation.
Does it support multi‑site operations?
Role‑based permissions isolate each lab or field station; central dashboards roll up KPIs across the group. Offline caching keeps remote labs working on weak networks.
Does the LIMS support animal research and livestock testing workflows?
Yes. The system handles animal sample tracking, feed and tissue analysis, veterinary diagnostics, and livestock health monitoring. Each animal or batch can carry its own test panels, detection limits, and compliance records in one centralised system.
Which sample types can it handle?
Soil, plant tissue, water, fertiliser, feed, residues and even greenhouse gas flux can sit in one database. Each matrix can carry its own prep steps, detection limits and reporting units.
What regulatory reports can we export?
Generates agronomic fertility reports (Albrecht, Bray, Mehlich), national fertiliser compliance files (e.g., USDA EQIP) and EU nitrate‑vulnerability submissions.
What kind of onboarding and support do we get?
We make onboarding simple. We configure the system to match your lab’s workflows, guide your team through each step, and remain available to resolve any issues quickly, even after you go live.
How does the LIMS handle soil testing workflows?
Soil samples are logged with full field location data and GPS coordinates, then routed automatically through your configured test panels for parameters like pH, nutrients, heavy metals, and moisture content. Results feed directly into fertility reports and controlled documentation aligned with applicable USDA and EU requirements and the laboratory’s ISO/IEC 17025 scope.
