Enviromental Analysis Minerals and Mining Industry
 
LIMS editions tailored for specific industries.
  Each AssayNet LIMS is built around a set of common core components, to which we add specific features tailored to provide an optimal solution for your industry. This approach gives you the best of both worlds; combining the support benefits of out-of-the-box programs with the advantages of customized solutions.
Customizable menus are easily configured within the interface, allowing you to integrate third-party applications into the LIMS.
Minerals and Mining Industry.
  From simple process stream analysis to complex, multi-instrument determinations of hundreds of analytes, AssayNet LIMS provide fast, efficient data management systems at a very competitive price point.

LIMS2003 and LIMS.NET provide the ideal solution for:
  •  Commercial minerals laboratories
  •  Minesite laboratories
  •  Process plant facilities in the materials industry
  •  Federal and provincial laboratories supporting the geological and mining  sectors
Features
 
Fast sample login.
From single samples to multi-thousand sample batches, login that is both fast and efficient will save your staff time and save you money. A sample wizard allows you to rapidly enter series with repeating numeric sequences, while a co-ordinate entry system quickly builds up x-y-z co-ordinate labels. The system can import sample labels from other sources, such as text and spreadsheets, and it supports pre-defined sample lists and analyses, linked to an automatic scheduler for routine sample login. Using the web interface, your customers can register samples remotely through a browser interface, and even print their own barcode labels, saving you labor and reducing the potential for sample labeling errors.
 
Sample preparation included
Virtually unique in minerals analysis is the attention that must be given to sample preparation protocols. Minesite and minerals lab managers understand well that they ignore sample prep at their peril. LIMS2003 allows managers and those responsible for quality to estimate the variance introduced at each stage of the analysis, including sample preparation. This lets them make informed decisions about preparation methodologies, including such things as optimal sample size, number of size reduction stages, and number and type of splitting stages. Information about preparation variance is normally gathered using split samples, taken at various stages along the preparation route.

Many labs also introduce additional QC samples during preparation, as distinct from those introduced at the analysis stage. An example is the use of barren quartz washings to identify equipment contamination. AssayNet LIMS systems can track these independently and they form part of the overall QC program.

Finally, by analyzing sample products separately, LIMS2003 is able to perform intra-sample calculations such as for screen analysis with assay of fractions, metallics screen assays, and bullion analysis
 
Powerful tracking tools
User-defined status codes allow the LIMS to track samples in the way you want, not the way a programmer decided you should. Find your work rapidly, or get instant feedback about work-in-progress with complex saved filters.

Our revolutionary Job Book concept stores all analytical data in a readily-accessible and customizable register – so you can view everything in one place, anytime you want.
 
Automatic worksheet generation
Quality control integration and automatic worksheet generation are just some of the sophisticated tools that allow analysts to spend less time at the keyboard and more time on the bench. QC templates allow you to insert randomized and fixed-position QC samples according to pre-defined rules. Worksheet samples can come from different worklists and different clients, and can even have different sample types.
 
Flexible results entry
AssayNet LIMS accept many different types of results entry, including numeric and textual values, as well as choosing from pre-defined lists, (e.g. mineralogical characterization). In addition, analysts can add comments to individual samples or results. These comments can be free-form or chosen from drop-down lists. They are indexed and can be configured to display on subsequent results screens as well as on customer reports.
 
Calculations made simple
Using our intuitive, calculator-style equation editor, users can rapidly define complex, intra- and inter-test formulae, incorporating powerful, conditional logic rules. Examples range from simple analyte totals such as whole rock total mineral, to more complex weighted calulations such as screen-fire assays.

For raw data processing, LIMS2003 offers several different correction options, all fully user-configurable, including position-based drift and blank correction, and matrix interference corrections for specific analytes.
 
Compliance and Verification
Adverse results can be flagged automatically, with custom alerts providing colored, on-screen and / or email warnings for out-of-compliance samples. Complex, cross-task verification rules promote peace of mind by checking results algorithmically before they are approved. Finally, results approval screens allow users unparalleled flexibility, giving multiple, user-customizable views of the same data, instant QC feedback and much more.

Testimonials
  “If LIMS2003 can run in our laboratories, it will run in any mineral lab. We had looked for many years for a LIMS suitable to our highly specialized mineral analysis and never found anything suitable.”

Dr. Eric Hoffman,
President of Activation Labs, Ancaster Ontario, Canada.

LIMS 2003
  AssayNet's flagship product is a client/server LIM system built specifically for environmental and minerals laboratories, and powered by the Microsoft SQL Server database engine. Robust and highly scaleable, the program was written to conform to the ASTM level II specification for LIMS.
QC+
  QC+ is a robust and flexible data analysis and charting tool, designed to give Chemists immediate feedback about the validity of Quality data from an analytical run. The program also allows managers and others responsible for Quality to investigate longer-term trends, and assists in the provision an preparation of Quality reports.
LIMS.net
  LIMS.net is our next-generation LIMS for mineral and environmental laboratories. It is a highly scalable, multi-tier application written in C# to target the .NET runtime.
LIMS.net is still under development and is scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2005.
