Simplifying LIMS Test Maintenance Admin
Grouping Tests to Minimize Test Maintenance Admin Overheads in a LIMS. In this case we talk about grouping tests within QC testing for furniture, but this same grouping methodology can be applied to any industry. Analytical testing plays a key role in ensuring the safety of consumer and other products and is therefore vital for both the manufacturers and users of those products. The need for testing is often mandated by governments or regulatory bodies, who may also define the standards that the products must meet. The testing involved may be complex with many different components or parts of the product requiring testing. However, the tests required may also be common across multiple products, for example flammability testing applied to furniture.
Organizations that undertake this type of testing, whether the testing be done in house or outsourced to contract testing laboratories, commonly rely on a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to manage the required testing and subsequent results.
