LIMS chosen by testing group

Labtronics product story

Labtronics has announced that SGS has chosen LimsLink to be the standard integration technology for their North American Mineral Group laboratories.
Labtronics , a World leader in providing innovative laboratory data integration and management solutions, today announced that SGS has chosen LimsLink to be the standard integration technology for their North American Mineral laboratories and will be rolling the technology out to several sites across North America.
SGS Group is the World's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company with over 42,000 employees Worldwide.
SGS North America Mineral has been successfully utilizing LimsLink at six of their sites in the United States and Canada for almost two years.
During that time, these laboratories have been able to eliminate the time analysts used to spend manually entering results from their laboratory instruments.
This timesaving allows them to run more samples, thus improving the productivity of their laboratories.
They are also able to review, approve and perform calculations on the data before committing the results to their LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System), which has improved the quality of the data.
The success of their existing LimsLink implementations has prompted them to start implementing the integration solution at their other locations across North America.
Another factor in their decision was that Labtronics had trained SGS personnel on how to develop and implement instrument integrations on their own.
This internal competence allows them to expand their use of the solution to their other laboratories without needing to engage any outside services.
SGS has also been impressed with the adaptability of LimsLink.
One of their laboratories using LimsLink changed from their current LIMS to a new LIMS.
This meant that all of the instrument results now needed to be sent to this new LIMS.
Typically, this would mean having to re-write all of the existing integrations; however, LimsLink's ability to work with any LIMS allowed them to move their integrations to the new LIMS, without having to re-write any of their existing LimsLink methods.
LimsLink has provided SGS with significant value in recent years.
SGS's success hinges on their ability to provide customers with test results as quickly and as accurately as possible.
LimsLink has helped improve the service that SGS provides, which makes this a very strategic project at SGS.
"We are extremely pleased that SGS has decided to expand their use of LimsLink," said Robert Pavlis, President of Labtronics "Customer satisfaction is our major focus at Labtronics, so when a customer decides to roll-out our solutions to more locations, we know that we have been successful at helping them meet their objectives.".
