PerkinElmer Introduces Easy-To-Use Lims Solutions To Simplify Data Analysis In Water Laboratories

WALTHAM, Mass. – PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences, a global leader in application-focused measurement and analysis solutions, today announced a market-specific LABWORKS™ Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) package for water laboratories.  LABWORKS waterLIMS™ simplifies data management by providing an integrated suite of software applications, interfaces and reports based on the fundamental needs of most water laboratories.

“This LABWORKS solution integrates with our chromatography, inorganic and materials characterization instruments to build on our EcoAnalytix™ initiative that provides comprehensive application-focused solutions,” said Richard Begley, Ph.D., president, Analytical Sciences, PerkinElmer. “We have worked with customers in each of these industries to develop targeted solutions that reduce the cycle time for delivering quality results to their data consumers.”

“Laboratories conducting analysis of water face increasing challenges to deliver more results with a fixed set of resources,” said Donna Lococo, LABWORKS product manager, PerkinElmer.  “We created LABWORKS waterLIMS to help our customers meet these challenges by automating the processes of collecting, evaluating and delivering quality data to decision makers.”

LABWORKS waterLIMS increases operational productivity by managing complicated sampling schedules, alerting the lab to hold time requirements, streamlining the collection and evaluation of data from a variety of instruments, and providing the results in both printed and electronic formats to the laboratory’s customers.  

Further efficiencies may be achieved by interfacing LABWORKS waterLIMS to handheld field devices, Geographic Information System (GIS) applications, Plant Information Systems (PIMS) and Environmental Enforcement Data Management Systems (EEDMS).

LABWORKS waterLIMS fully integrates with PerkinElmer instrumentation and interfaces with most analytical instrumentation found in water laboratories. To further enable laboratories to get up and running quickly and operate efficiently, LABWORKS waterLIMS includes a basic service package with installation and training and can be enhanced with additional applications and services to meet an individual laboratory’s needs.
