Environmental Lab Challenges Solved

Overcoming Field Logistics, Multi-Parameter Volume & Regulatory Deadlines

Water testing isn't just bench analysis—it starts miles away at river intakes, borewells, industrial outfalls, and treatment tanks. ExactLIMS bridges field collection with laboratory accreditation.

Tracking Field Sampling Coordinates, Temperatures & Preservatives

Field samplers collect across distant geographical borewells and discharge points. Paper sampling slips get smeared, arrival temperatures aren't logged, and unpreserved bottles compromise testing integrity.

ExactLIMS Fix: Mobile-friendly Chain of Custody (CoC) module. Capture GPS geolocation, arrival cold-box temperatures, and container preservative sets (HNO3, H2SO4, Na2S2O3) in real time.

Managing Multi-Parameter Packages (Physical, Chemical, Heavy Metals, Microbio)

A single water sample can require 30+ tests split between wet chemistry, ICP-OES spectrometry, titration benches, and microbiology incubators. Coordinating results without lost parameters is notoriously difficult.

ExactLIMS Fix: Automated worklist dispatch. One sample login instantly generates segmented worklists for Heavy Metals, Wet Chem, and Bacteriology with auto-merging into the final Certificate of Analysis.

Fast Turnaround Times for Municipal & Industrial Compliance Mandates

Municipalities face public health scrutiny while industries face factory shutdown notices from State Pollution Control Boards if effluent reports aren't released on schedule.

ExactLIMS Fix: Real-time SLA tracking with automated multi-tier approval and instant delivery via client portal, WhatsApp, and email upon sign-off.
Built For Water & Environmental Quality

Core ExactLIMS Features for Water Testing Laboratories

From drinking water specification tables to instrument calibration blanks, every tool is configured for high-volume environmental workflows.

Built-in IS 10500 & WHO Drinking Water Tables

Pre-configured specifications for IS 10500:2012 (Acceptable vs. Permissible limits), WHO guidelines, IS 14543 (Packaged Water), and CPCB/SPCB industrial effluent standards out of the box.

Batch Inwarding & Field Sampling Sheet Generation

Generate digital field sampling sheets for sampling tours. Inward dozens of river, borewell, or municipal supply samples simultaneously with barcode/QR container stickers.

Levey-Jennings Analytical QC Tracking

Record instrument blanks, calibration verification standards, and duplicate readings. ExactLIMS plots automated Levey-Jennings control charts satisfying ISO/IEC 17025:2017 audits.

Automated Indian GST Billing & Contracts

Configure corporate and municipal rate cards per parameter package or annual sampling contract. Auto-generate GST-compliant tax invoices with correct SAC codes upon report sign-off.

Bench Worksheets & Formula Calculations

Built-in formulas for Total Hardness, Alkalinity, BOD 3-day drop, and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). Eliminate manual calculator and spreadsheet transcription errors.

Instrument Interfacing (AAS, ICP-MS, Photometers)

Direct file parsing for Spectrophotometers, Flame Photometers, AAS, and ICP-MS systems. Pull heavy metal and anion concentrations directly into the sample worksheet.

NABL ULR & QR Authenticated CoAs

Generate tamper-evident, NABL ULR formatted Certificates of Analysis. Includes digital signatures and verification QR codes that clients or auditors can scan on mobile.

Complete 21 CFR Part 11 Audit Trail

Role-based access control, strict separation between Analyst entry and Technical Review, electronic signatures, and immutable timestamps for every record change.
