Sample tracking saves time and money

Autoscribe Sample Tracking and LIMS solutions enable saving of time and money by reducing Testing Requirements based upon the number of samples of a specific product registered.

Autoscribe Sample Tracking and LIMS solutions enable saving of time and money by reducing Testing Requirements based upon the number of samples of a specific product registered Each time a product sample is registered into the system a counter is incremented on the appropriate specification record for that type of product

This counter is then used to determine whether the test should be included for the sample by comparing it with the frequency specified for it.

The test frequency will be specified as a whole number, eg 1,2,3,4 etc.

and will be compared with the counter to determine if it is a factor.

If it is an exact factor the test will be included.

Configurable options include testing frequency specified for each test on a substance/product eg add test every nth sample registered.

Tests may be forced for the first 'n' samples of a new substance/product.

Full testing may be automatically allocated if a specified time period has elapsed since the last sample of a particular substance/product.

It is also possible to ensure that the first n samples registered for a new substance are registered with the full complement of tests before reduced testing begins.

Full testing can also be specified if it is more than n days since the last sample of this type was registered.

Similarly full testing can occur after n samples of a product have been registered.

These further options make use of a "Force" test type.

When full testing occurs due to one of the above options being triggered, tests which you have marked as being "Force" type tests are added to the sample.

The "Force" tests are not normally involved in the reduced testing schedule.

These tests can be used to occasionally submit the product to rigorous testing.

If you need to save time and money then reducing your analytical testing requirements using the Matrix Frequency Testing module may be the answer. Request a free brochure from Autoscribe ...
