LIMS for Environmental and Water Testing Labs
Reuben LIMS is built to support the complex workflows of environmental and water testing laboratories. As a specialised LIMS solution, it helps laboratories manage high volume environmental data while maintaining strong quality assurance, quality controls, and regulatory compliance.
From field sample collection to lab analysis and regulatory reporting, our system adapts to your processes and compliance requirements, helping you meet ISO 17025, UKAS, and EPA standards with less effort. It is designed to streamline sample management across environmental matrices ranging from drinking water to soil and air samples.
Challenges we solve
- Manual sample logging and tracking from field to lab, increasing risk of data loss across water samples and environmental datasets.
- Disconnected systems slowing down analysis and reporting workflows and reducing operational quality controls.
- Paper-based chain-of-custody processes that are hard to audit, prone to error, and hinder regulatory compliance.
- Delays in reporting due to manual data entry and fragmented approval chains that limit quality assurance effectiveness.
How it works
- Sample intake — configure intake workflows to match your lab’s sampling process, from field collection to lab registration, using structured sample management that supports both environmental and drinking water workflows.
- Guided testing — set up testing protocols aligned with your SOPs and regulatory compliance requirements using pre-configured or custom templates.
- Review & approval — define multi-stage review processes tailored to your team structure, with built-in quality controls and validation safeguards.
- Certificate of Analysis — generate CoAs in your preferred format, including water quality parameters, contaminant levels, and regulatory thresholds for water samples.
- Reporting & dashboards — access real-time dashboards for sample status, turnaround times, and environmental metrics.
Key Capabilities for Environmental and Water Testing labs
Field-to-Lab Sample Tracking
- Capture sample data at the point of collection using mobile tools, barcode scanning, and GPS tagging — ensuring complete traceability for drinking water and environmental water samples.
Regulatory-Ready Workflows
- Configure workflows to meet ISO 17025, UKAS, and EPA standards. Automate method selection, validation steps, and documentation to support audits and strengthen quality assurance.
Environmental monitoring
- Log and manage environmental data alongside lab results, including water quality metrics, pollutant levels, and site-specific parameters all supported through robust sample management.
Custom approvals
- Design multi stage approval processes that reflect your lab’s structure, with built in audit trails, alerts, and e-signatures to maintain regulatory compliance.
Instrument and Data Integration
- Connect seamlessly with lab instruments and external systems to automate data capture, reduce manual entry, and ensure accuracy — with pre-configured integration options available.
Outcomes for your lab
