Lab Work:
|
|
The Lab Work functionality is used to enter results in the system. The result entry screen uses the AJAX technology to provide real-time validation and feedback to the user in the event of entry errors or out of specifications results. The result entry screen also provides result formatting and calculations and access to methods and SOP documents.
Result and Units
In order to improve and facilitate the results reporting LabPlus implements a distinction between raw, formatted, and for calculation results. It also integrates the ability to support multiple measurement units per test (U.I. Units) which provides native support of unit conversions and results reporting in multiple formats. The resulting validation, calculation, and formatting take into accounts these conversions.
Quality Controls
QA/QC functions are designed to provide increased capabilities and allow improved tracking and control of lab operations. All quality controls integrate similar attributes and provide enhanced capabilities such as charting, the ability to manage multilayer (category and types) of controls, automatic calculations for % recoveries, accuracy, etc. It is possible to define validation and control plans by methods, but in addition it will also be possible to define them for worksheets, instruments, etc. Hence, the scope for controls, such as calibrations and blanks, can be global to a method for a given period of time or be valid within the scope of a worksheet.
Graphical Charting Object
LabPlus provides the ability to display and print charts for controls and sample results.
Instrument Interfaces
Result entry can be automated through the use of the standard-compliant XML-based LabPlus Web Service Iinterface.
