Problems with paper Benefits of Automation

- Illegible handwriting/transcription errors

- Information recorded where it should not be

- Image printed/pasted onto page

- Storage and Retrieval Concerns

- Ultimately no control

- Not to mention all the associated costs

- Legible text

- All information electronically traced

- Selection from pre-defined lists

- Electronic signature

- Insert image electronically (Easily and Quickly retrieved)

- Controlled execution –step by step

Scenario One – Disparate Databases

THE SAGA OF A HAMBURGER

• A significant obstacle to the consistent data exchange deliverables are the sheer number of networks and reporting requirements. Following public consumption of a tainted hamburger, a laboratory must:

• Send the data to FDA if it’s the lettuce, ketchup, mayo, or bun • Send the data to USDA if it’s the meat • Send the data to CDC and the state lab if someone became ill • If it is a biological contamination, send the data to one CDC network • If it is a chemical contaminant, send the data to a different CDC network • Send the data to EPA if the food was contaminated due to environmental concerns • Different EPA networks exist for water, waste, air and response mitigation. • Lab data must be formatted for each program and then sent through multiple

networks. • A single laboratory section in EPA RTP, NC has over 50 disparate segmented

databases. • How many does your lab have?

Automating Data Collection and Review

Without a LIMS that can manage and link this data, laboratories must manually input the quality control data into the results message. This adds a significant burden not only on the reporting laboratory but also on the data user, and increases the chances of errors in the data.

Typical QC Parameters

The analytical results associated with the analysis of a batch of targets and quality control samples is known as the analytical sequence. Different methods and different programs or clients may require different analytical sequences. Below is an inclusive example of what might be included in one analytical sequence: • Instrument Blank • Initial Calibration • Initial Calibration Validation • Lab Reagent Blank or Method Blank • Lab Fortified Blank or Laboratory Control Sample • Matrix Spike • Matrix Spike Duplicate • Target Samples (typically 10) • Continuing Calibration Verification • Continuing Calibration Blank • Target Samples (typically 10) • Continuing Calibration Verification • Continuing Calibration Blank

Data Elements for Type 2 Submission

• Project Details • Data Package Identifier • Date Format • Laboratory Narrative • Laboratory Qualifiers Definition • Project Identifier • Organization Details • Organization Identifier • Method Details • Method Identifier • Sample Details • Sample Identifier • Sample Chain of Custody Identifier • Sample Collection End Date • Sample Matrix • Sample Type • Analysis Details • Analysis Batch Identifier • Analysis End Date • Analysis Start Date • Analysis Type • Instrument Identifier • Laboratory Analysis Identifier • Method Identifier • Substance Identification Details • Exclusion Indicator • Reporting Limit • Reporting Limit Type • Reporting Limit Units • Result • Result Units • Substance Name • Substance Type • Run Batch Identifier

Any Instruments, Any LIMS, Any Metadata

• Uni-Directional Interfaces – One way transfer of data from instrument to LIMS – Simplest to implement – Eliminates transcription errors

• Bi-Directional Interfaces

– Two way transfer of data between instrument and LIMS – Leverages sample and test information that resides in LIMS

• Reduces effort and errors

• Integration with CDS – TotalChrom, Chemstation, Empower

– Two way transfer of data between CDS and LIMS – All interaction is initiated from within the CDS client
