Sample Master® Pro LIMS at Texas Analytical Laboratories for Environmental Management (TALEM):
After evaluating several LIMS systems, TALEM decided that ATL’s Sample Master® Pro LIMS was the right LIMS choice for their laboratory. Sample Master® Pro is a highly automated LIMS that provides scalability, enhances data quality, reduces costs and improves productivity.  The following Sample Master® Pro modules streamline and automate sample management as well as strengthen procedures for QA/QC and reporting at TALEM:  Sample Tracking, Data Entry, QA/QC, Electronic Data Transfer, Time Tracking and Maintenance.
 
TALEM has saved a considerable amount of time by using Sample Master® Pro’s pre-log function for all of their routine customers. Sample Master® Pro LIMS allows pre-login of samples as part of the “Sample Login” function.  Pre-logged samples can be logged in with the push of a single button.   Another benefit is Sample Master® Pro’s automatic email reporting functionality.  E-mail is critical to maximizing the LIMS investment and Sample Master® Pro supports numerous e-mail packages, including Microsoft Outlook. Reports can be distributed via e-mail from Sample Master® Pro LIMS upon a users command or automatically.
 
TALEM’s customers have experienced benefits from Sample Master® Pro LIMS as well.  Sample Master®  Result Point™ is a web-based data portal that allows TALEM’s customers to access order/result status, analytical data and PDF reports directly from the Sample Master® LIMS database. Sample Master® Result Point™ is also a tool for internal and external laboratory employees to get quick feedback of order status.
 
“The features and benefits of ATL’s Sample Master® Pro LIMS paired with ATL’s willingness and dedication to meet our software needs has resulted in a very valuable partnership.”
