August 12, 2021: Accelerated Technology Laboratories, Inc. (ATL), a leader in Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), is pleased to announce that it will be presenting at the 2021 Indiana Water Environment Association (IWEA) Annual Conference. This in-person event will be held on August 25-27, 2021, at the Grand Wayne Convention Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

ATL’s presentation is entitled Using a LIMS to Solve Today’s Most Common Laboratory Challenges. ATL will discuss common obstacles that prevent water/wastewater and environmental laboratories from realizing their full operational efficiency, meeting regulatory requirements, and generating high quality data. The focus will transition to highlighting one of IWEA’s member organizations and how they are currently using LIMS and laboratory automation to conquer these challenges.

The presentation will include the following:

• Traceability –The ability to trace back from sample login to disposal is becoming increasingly important based on changes to standards such as TNI and ISO 17025.
• Data integrity – Learn how companies are integrating LIMS and laboratory automation to eliminate data quality issues.
• Reporting – Automating this entire process is a significant time saver by leveraging Web portals and automated emails to reduce turnaround time, thus increasing lab productivity, and lowering operational costs. We will highlight the ability to integrate LIMS with Hach WIMS to generate the monthly discharge monitoring report (DMR).
• Attaining/maintaining laboratory certifications – Quality standards such as TNI and ISO 17025 put significant pressure on laboratories to keep accurate track of hundreds of data points, QC data, laboratory supplies, instrument calibration records, and employee training records.
• IWEA LIMS Case Study: Citizens Energy Group
