In high-throughput mining laboratories, chain of custody is not only a compliance requirement. It is the operating backbone that connects sample identity, preparation states, QA/QC controls, instrument data capture, turnaround time, and certificate confidence. OnLIMS turns that chain into a controlled digital workflow from field reception to final reporting.
