Water quality directly impacts public health and the environment, which means maintaining stringent standards in water testing is non-negotiable. The stakes are significant, and even a single error can result in substantial fines and may jeopardize public health and safety. For example, failing to comply with regulations like the Clean Water Act can lead to hefty fines for each violation. This underscores the critical importance of adhering to complex regulations, such as EPA guidelines, and standards, such as ISO/IEC 17025. [Read More]

In the years since this blog was first authored, not only have the number of instrument types increased, but also the number of options for interfacing. And yet, the more things change, the more they stay the same. It’s still shocking when reviewing laboratory information management system (LIMS) survey results to find that some implementations go live without interfacing all the lab instruments with the system.
