Confience’s Sample Master® LIMS Meets Data Management Needs at Parker Water & Sanitation District
Parker Water & Sanitation District (PWSD) was formed in 1962, to provide water and wastewater utilities to the customers of the District, which serves more than 60,000 residents today.
PWSL had an older computerized Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) system which was only partially used. A manual system was used to login all samples into the laboratory and numerous other logs across it. It became evident that the existing LIMS was never able to “fit” the way the laboratory worked, and vendor support was poor in terms of obtaining bug fixes and updates. PWSL was struggling to become automated and more efficient; the current system was holding back its personnel from reaching their potential. The PWSL team decided it would be judicious to have a laboratory automation needs assessment performed prior to evaluating the purchase of a new LIMS.
