6 Analysis Services. Categories
Setting up Analysis Services - the tests offered by the lab to its clients, their Methods and parameters. Categorising them
5.5 How To bring an instrument back on line after failing QC
Recalibrate the instrument and teach the LIMS accordingly
5.4 Corrective Action
If configured, instruments decommission themselves when failing QC
5.3 Instrument QC
QC. Control Charts for Instruments, Disabling instruments failing QC, Calibration certificate expiry
5.2 Instrument Maintenance
To ensure only accurate results with high confidence level reach clients, Bika and Senaite embeds GLP and ISO 17025 recommended procedures that are best be left untouched, but could be configured and customised to lab specific SOP
5.1 Instrument Configuration
Instrument Methods and Calibration Certificates
4.6 Analytical Methods
10.7 Audit trails
Extensive logging of changes and transitions of both transactional Samples and Worksheets, but also configuration objects which are also versioned for database integrity purposes
4.5 Samples and Sampling
Sample Points and Types, Containers, Preservation. Configuration leading up to the Analysis Services the lab offers, all their dependants
4.4 ID server
The Bika / Senaite ID server generates unique sequential IDs for all new objects, Samples, ARs, Invoices, COAs and can be configured to fit most needs
4.3 Global settings. System defaults
Before diving deeper, and ignoring trivial setup items, the main workflow items and global defaults
4.2 Order of Configuration
The configuration items are not necessarily discussed in the best sequence for setting the LIMS up, e.g. to correctly configure the Analysis Services the lab offers, you'll need the Lab departments, Methods, Instruments, Calculations, etc. to be populated first. This page tables the order in which to structure the systematic configuration
4.1 Configuration Convention
All the Setup pages are the same, if not in complexity
4. Configuration
Setting up your LIMS. Only users with lab manager authorisation have access to the LIMS configuration. Users won't have to come here regularly, most of the configuration is completed during initial implementation.
