The agricultural industry can use the Core LIMS to unite its disparate processes, and associated data, into a unified, flexible informatics platform. The Core system supports soil, water, plant tissue, manure, compost, fertilizer, feeds and forage, milk, and air sample testing.
The Core system supports imaging for nematode analysis, water bacteria, and other processes. Images and documents can be attached to any object in the system to ensure that all related data is grouped together and easily located in the database. The Core LIMS supports environmental sampling functions with automatic results flagging and alert generation. Lot management allows for grouping of soil samples by location and depth for decision support in fertilizer or water assessments.
With the flexibility to create any object or attribute necessary for a lab, the Core LIMS can track anything, including geographic coordinates of sample locations. It can also support any sort of testing, from radioactivity to water alkalinity and salinity. The system�s high level of configurability enables users to evaluate information such as dry or liquid fertilizer and compost chemical concentrations. Microbial observations can be documented as well as the presence of minerals, nutrients, fungi, bacteria, etc.
