/ Features

Features overview

The following features are available in J Street LIMS — from sample login and results entry through quality control, reporting, invoicing, security and audit trails.

Single sample or batch logging

Log individual samples one at a time for low-volume sampling. To speed logging of repetitive samples, create a batch with shared characteristics, ideal for routine and high-volume sampling.

Results entry by sample or analyte

Enter results for single samples with multiple analyses. Or, enter results for multiple samples at once. Results can be imported from instruments or existing Excel spreadsheets using our integrated Excel interface.

Integrated Excel interface

Import sample data and analyses to log samples, import results from instrument data files, and create custom reports within the LIMS  built-in report generator or by modifying built-in report templates.

Integrated messaging

With the optional Messaging component, automatically send an email with sample information when a sample is logged or completed.

Sample scheduling

Schedule samples to be logged by a specific date and optionally repeat at a given frequency (weekly, monthly, etc.). The system automatically generates a warning when a scheduled sample is due or overdue.

Sample tracking and warning

Prevent lost or expired samples with automatic warnings when a sample has an analysis due. Tracking features include quick location of incomplete or past-due samples and samples with warnings. Keep track of your daily work with bench sheets and workload reports.

Quality control

A dedicated Quality Control menu supports QC sample login, control charts, instrument lists and maintenance calendars, and procedure schedules.

Powerful queries

Design custom queries using any combination of sample criteria (project, analyte, location, sample type, date, etc.) to locate and report your desired sample data. Build user-defined reports using structured query language (SQL) to satisfy your reporting needs.

Reports, charts and statistics

Use our extensive list of built-in reports to collect, analyze, and present lab data. Generate chain-of-custody reports, bench sheets, sample summaries, invoices, analytical batches, and more. Our user-defined report builder allows you to create your own custom reports.

Invoicing and customer lists

Maintain customer lists and assign costs by analysis, project and customer. Generate detail and summary invoices to upload to your accounting system or export to your own invoice templates.

Instrument and procedure lists

Maintain instrument and lab procedure records and generate calendars with instrument maintenance, calibration, and procedure schedules.

Integrated barcoding

Automatically generate barcoded container labels when logging samples, or design your own. Speed results entry by scanning sample containers, barcoded worksheets, or sample lists.

Data access security

Use Windows Authentication to add users. Assign users to one of five permission roles with hierarchical privileges (Read Only, Sampler, Technician, Admin, Owner).

Audit trail

Automatic audit trailing tracks any change in data throughout the system and requires users to enter a reason for data changes. Select from a wide range of audit trail events and reports to meet your compliance needs.

Method development

Develop and document analysis methods to define and control how specific tests are performed. Or, hyperlink your existing methods documents.
