Laboratory work in OnLIMS
One system from sample reception to certificate: jobs registered in OnLAB, readings and calculations on the OnWSH worksheet, standards, blanks and duplicates checked against their OnQC limits, and published results on certificates and in LabData for your clients. Pick the workflow closest to your laboratory.
Geological Exploration (Batch)
Each exploration batch arrives as an OnLAB batch job with its sample IDs, tests and units, and loads straight onto an OnWSH worksheet for readings, calculations and QC review, without retyping the sample list.
View SolutionMetallurgical Plant Flow (Routine)
Plant samples that repeat every day run as a routine job created once in OnLAB. Each new sample is identified by the routine name, date and time, so the plant’s history stays in one job.
View SolutionQC review in the worksheet
A failed standard, blank or duplicate cannot be locked unnoticed. OnWSH checks them against their QC records as results are locked and opens the Control Chart for any out-of-range value; the analyst cancels and repeats, or accepts it with a written reason.
View SolutionEnvironmental Monitoring
Recurring monitoring points run as routine jobs, and AAS or ICP readings are imported into the worksheet instead of being retyped before the reportable results are calculated.
- Range checks: Each test carries a minimum and a maximum; results above the maximum appear red and results below the minimum yellow.
- Published results: Job export writes CSV, XLSX or XLS, and anything not yet published stays masked.
- Repeated sampling: Every monitoring event is added to the same routine job, so its history is reviewed in one place.
Laboratory records and OnQMS
When an auditor asks who changed what, every OnLAB job answers with its audit: recorded events by sample, test, date and user, with previous and new values, exportable to Excel. The OnQMS page presents our separate accreditation product.
View SolutionAnalysis requests and inspection enquiries
Your clients prepare their own analysis requests in LabData, listing the samples and the tests they need from the laboratory. For inspection work, the OnQMS page covers ISO/IEC 17020 enquiries.
View SolutionPending work and OnSight
Late work is visible before the client calls: OnLAB Statistics compares target and actual turnaround by job, sample and test and filters what is late. OnSight, our laboratory dashboard, is presented on the linked page.

Readings, preparation values and result formulas together on one OnWSH worksheet, locked after review.
Out-of-range QC results open the Control Chart before they can be locked.
Turnaround review in OnLAB Statistics and the OnSight laboratory dashboard.
Each sample movement is recorded, building a saved location history per sample.

// ONE PLATFORM
Every Lab, One Controlled Workflow
Whatever the laboratory type, the same four steps apply: the job supplies sample and test identities, the worksheet holds readings, preparation values, formulas and QC rows, and only published results reach certificates and clients.
Sample reception
The job is created with its samples and tests, and each sample identity is checked at reception.
Instrument capture
Instrument readings land in the worksheet column of their element and unit, and the results are calculated there.
Review and lock
QC is checked as results are locked; the locked worksheet becomes Approved and read-only.
Publish and report
Results go to the OnLAB job and are published before the certificate is printed or the job is exported.
