Confience’s Sample Master® LIMS Solves Several Challenges for the City and County of Broomfield, Colorado
The City and County of Broomfield, Colorado Environmental and Wastewater Laboratories needed to evaluate alternative LIMS options to replace their existing LIMS to address the shortcomings in their current LIMS as well as move to a solution that could provide additional capabilities they would need in the future.
In 1999, the Environmental and Wastewater laboratories implemented a commercially available LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) that was in place for 15 years. During that time, the LIMS performed adequately, although the laboratory realized the staff needed additional capabilities.
In 2014, both laboratories agreed that they needed to evaluate alternative LIMS options to address the shortcomings in their current LIMS as well as move to a solution that could provide additional capabilities they would need in the future. There were several LIMS vendors who submitted proposals. The evaluation team pared the list of proposals down to a manageable number and then scored the proposals based on a list of their functional requirements. In the end, the City and County of Broomfield selected Confience’s Sample Master LIMS was selected.
