Key Features

Streamline Login: According to the vendor, users can simplify the login process using various methods such as Fixed and Dynamic calendar-based scheduling, Work Order Login, Prelog, Quicklog, CoC Import, Operational Data, or online sample submission. Additionally, automatic email notifications can be sent to inform clients of their project status.

Strengthen Laboratory Analysis: The software offers electronic bench sheets to eliminate paper records and capture analytical procedures and sample preparation information. It also supports various types and methods of testing, allowing users to export bench sheet information for analysis-specific calculations. Furthermore, wet chemistry test bench sheet information can be exported into pre-defined spreadsheets.

Automate Reporting: According to the vendor, report assembly is automated, integrating test results, QC results, raw data, CoC, and case narratives. Reports are formatted and automatically distributed to multiple recipients. The software also offers a large EDD library and on-board EDD/import builder, as well as the integration of subcontract data, DMRs, complex cannabis reporting, and seed-to-sale integration. Data can be exported in PDF, Microsoft Excel, XML CSV, and text file formats.

Upload Instrument Data: The software includes the Element DataTool feature, which allows users to import and translate data from instruments, eliminating manual activities and improving accuracy. Additionally, it provides a library of instrument interfaces.

Integrate QA/QC Into Workflow: The software integrates QA and QC capabilities into the laboratory workflow, enhancing efficiency and reducing manual errors. It offers automated control chart notifications for critical feedback, assigns case narratives at the analysis class and work order level for detailed comments, and ties personnel certifications to analytical and prep methods. The software also provides a detailed audit trail for accurate monitoring and audits.

ClientConnect Portal: The software includes a web portal that allows clients to access sample data, test results, and documents. It also enables online sample submission with automated chain of custody (CoC) and reduced data entry.

EnviroChain Online Sample Submission: According to the vendor, users can schedule samples through Element LIMS and enter data through any web-enabled device with an internet connection. They can also copy existing sample submissions to save time and use previous sample entries as templates for new entries. The software allows the creation of custom CoCs, which can be stored in the Element LIMS library for access by EnviroChain. Additionally, users can assign proper sample containers from within Element LIMS and receive submitted samples in real-time.
