Maximizing the potential of Analytical Quality Control

Analytical Quality Control (AQC) is vital in the Oil and Gas industry for ensuring precision, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. SampleManager LIMS software is an essential tool in this context, transforming a lab's quality control narrative into data-driven charts and dashboards. The software's integrated AQC functionality aligns with ASTM D6299-23a standards and provides real-time visualization of charts and data. It also offers comprehensive tools for a streamlined AQC workflow, enabling labs to manage QC sample log-ins efficiently, visualize AQC limits and trends directly within result entry, accommodate changes to QC material with a single chart workflow, configure trend rules to meet user-specific needs, and easily visualize pool statistics and comparisons to relevant limits with color-coded highlights. By leveraging SampleManager LIMS, organizations in the oil and gas sector can optimize their processes, achieving greater levels of efficiency and quality assurance.

  • Efficiently manage QC sample log-ins with scheduling.
  • Visualize AQC limits and trends from directly within result entry.
  • Account for changes to QC material with a single chart workflow.
  • Point and click to configure trend rules that meet users' specific needs.
  • Easily visualize pool statistics and comparisons to relevant limits with color-coded highlights.
