Massive boost to sample throughput
A new Lims system has helped one of the UK's biggest analytical laboratories to increase its annual sample throughput from 36,000 to 103,000 and to offer a standard five day turnaround
The labs analyse many samples from veterinary practices but are also responsible for analysing samples derived from nationally recognised health schemes monitoring sheep, goats and cattle for various diseases.
"The laboratories were already using AIS Lims for Dos and version 6.5 was chosen as its natural progressor; for its functionality and ability to analyse a diverse range of samples," explained Dai Darkin, director of AIS.
"The system posed some interesting installation challenges because the configuration of AIS Lims is data driven and veterinary analysis differs significantly from other QA labs.
The new software could access the existing DOS database and migrating the users from the old Dos Lims to the new Windows Lims was a quick and relatively painless process" This latest contract, along with the recent decision to use AIS LIMS 6.5 for all the Scottish Public Analyst Laboratories ensures that AIS maintains a strong presence in Scotland.
