Minerals laboratories can automate their processes, and increase efficiency and data integrity, with a LIMS from Core Informatics. The Core system is flexible and allows labs to track any type of object needed in terms of any type of attribute including string, numeric, image, hyperlink, etc. This creates an environment in which data is stored and classified according to the lab�s needs, and is therefore more easily accessible than data that has been altered to fit a system.
The Core LIMS assists minerals labs in managing product specifications. It stores specifications and recipes by customer for custom batches. Products can be re-graded if it is discovered during the manufacturing process that a threshold was not met for an ingredient, to see if they are still applicable to another customer�s needs. The system cuts down on wasted product and allows for visibility in the testing process. Its capabilities include results validation, and lot approval and certification to ensure the highest quality products possible.
