THE SITUATION
A high-volume environmental and occupational health testing laboratory processing thousands of samples weekly. Every incoming Chain of Custody required manual re-entry into their LIMS before analytical work could begin, field by field, technician by technician. The constraint wasn't instrumentation. It wasn't staff capability. It was sample login. As volume grew, the only lever was adding more hands to keying, a task that added ISO compliance exposure with every keystroke.
THE DEPLOYMENT
erblue LOMS delivered structured, validated, LIMS-ready records via REST API. Every data exchange is customer-initiated.
- No LIMS credentials required
- Customer-controlled data exchange
- Full field-level audit log attached to every delivered record
THE RESULT
Average 70% efficiency gains in login time across processed COC volume. A 1,200+ sample Chain of Custody was digitized, validated against laboratory business rules, validated by an erblue analyst and delivered as LIMS-ready records in approximately 11 minutes, QA included. The equivalent manual process would require four to six hours of technician time and carries ISO/IEC 17025 transcription exposure at every field.
