Built upon the newest release of the STARLIMS Technology Platform v11, the enhanced STARLIMS Environmental Sciences Solution ES3.1 is intended to help laboratories become more efficient and maximize their laboratory data.
ES 3.1 includes STARLIMS ELN (Electronic Laboratory Notebook), which gives lab personnel a user-friendly tool for entering results, preforming complex calculations, and acquiring method execution capabilities. Capable of easily interfacing with instruments, ELN allows results to be documented electronically. In contrast to Excel, there is secure storage of data inside the STARLIMS database, preventing the creation of uncontrolled copies.
Unifying and integrating the STARLIMS solutions, SDMS (Scientific Data Management System), AA (Advanced Analytics), and Mobile capabilities, the deployment of ES3.1 will aid labs by providing speedier configuration, increased flexibility, deeper perception and analysis of data, and enhanced user experience.
In addition, ES3.1 has ready-made tools, including a wide selection of Tests, Methods, and Quality Control samples that are preconfigured for the most typical matrices (Solids, Drinking Water, and Non-potable Water). These out-of-the-box features can help labs shorten deployment time and decrease the expenses of implementing STARLIMS in a
laboratory.
