Environmental Sciences
Designed To Protect and Save Earth’s Resources
Our environmental sciences LIMS is designed for both public and commercial environmental testing, and contract laboratories operating at national, regional and local levels. The STARLIMS Environmental Sciences LIMS solution is tailored to address the needs of international environmental testing and contract laboratories to remain in compliance with regulations from reservoir to tap. By supporting the daily functions of a multidisciplinary laboratory, we ensure environmental testing results are fully traceable to known standards and quality assurance parameters throughout the entire sample life cycle. The inherent flexibility of the LIMS solution allows the lab to continually adapt business processes to match customer needs and emerging regulations.
Have Confidence In Compliance And Best Practices
- Use preconfigured Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) methodologies or configure other environmental international methodologies
- Track and manage testing certifications of chemists and technicians to ensure methodologies are followed according to EPA and other international standard methods
- STARLIMS has been designed to help your organization comply with ISO 17025, often the basis for gaining industry recognized accreditations (i.e. National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP), International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), American Association for Laboratory Cooperation (A2LA))
- Track and manage versions of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and define document routing with a Scientific Data Management System (SDMS)
Support For Public And Commercial Environmental Testing Labs
Commercial environmental testing labs
