Overview

As an environmental laboratory professional, you know the importance of delivering legally defensible testing results, while constantly adapting to increasingly stringent regulations. At the same time, your lab must provide the required results in a timely manner, to enable public utilities to provide constant and uninterrupted services. It is no small challenge to balance the demands of quality control, uninterrupted processes and services, and regulatory compliance.

That’s why we developed the STARLIMS Environmental package.

STARLIMS is designed for both public and commercial Environmental testing laboratories, operating at national, regional, municipal and local levels. By supporting the daily functions of a multidisciplinary laboratory, STARLIMS ensures testing results are fully traceable to known standards and quality assurance parameters throughout the entire sample life cycle. The inherent flexibility of STARLIMS allows the lab to continually adapt business processes to match customer needs and emerging regulations.

Public Labs

Organizations responsible for ensuring water quality, both drinking and waste water, face the challenge of providing constant and uninterrupted service, while at the same time ensuring public safety and regulatory compliance.  This is complicated by frequently changing regulatory standards.  Public Utilities are expected to provide 24-hour uninterrupted service, and their support labs must provide timely and accurate results to both the internal organization, and to regulatory agencies, all in an effort to ensure public water supply quality is maintained at an acceptable level.STARLIMS helps your lab to achieve all this, by automating processes throughout the life cycle of the sample—from scheduling and sample login through reporting. The system supports comprehensive reporting (eDMR, SDWIS, State Drinking Water, etc.) as well as re-sampling as required (e.g. positive coliform results).

STARLIMS helps you automate processes and improve your lab performance. Contact us to find out how STARLIMS can help your lab:

Commercial Labs

Commercial environmental laboratories are operating in an extremely competitive environment, characterized by low profit margins. As a result, the laboratory organization is challenged to optimize resource utilization, and create efficiencies wherever possible.

STARLIMS helps your lab to meet these challenges by providing the information client and project managers need to make timely and informed decisions. An intuitive dashboard presents each user with the key performance indicators (KPIs) that are relevant to that job function. STARLIMS issues automatic alerts and can also generate reports and invoices automatically. With STARLIMS, you can expedite communications throughout your organization, and with your customers.

In addition, STARLIMS’s fully web-based solution enables authorized users to access data remotely via a standard web-browser, with no need for client-side downloads. This accelerates the delivery of results to the customer, and represents an important value-added service.

STARLIMS helps you automate processes and improve your lab performance. Contact us to find out how STARLIMS can help your lab:
