Every Sample Counts: How SLIMS Transforms Testing Workflows
Food and environmental laboratories and contract testing labs are challenged with high sample volumes, regulatory requirements, and the need for consistent data integrity. A digital platform that can centralize workflow management, instrument connectivity, and compliance tracking is becoming essential.
Agilent SLIMS unifies sample management, workflow execution, consumables tracking, and reporting into a single platform, providing labs with full visibility and control. This webinar session will demonstrate how SLIMS supports food and environmental workflows by ensuring compliance with ISO 17025, improving operational efficiency, and maintaining data traceability. Workflow examples, ranging from pesticide analysis to PFAS testing, will illustrate how SLIMS can be adapted to diverse applications.
Who Should Attend:
- Food and environmental contract testing lab managers
- Quality assurance and compliance teams working under ISO 17025 standards
- Laboratory operations leads handling multi-step sample workflows
- Scientists and technical staff involved in data management and reporting
- IT/LIMS administrators responsible for digital lab transformation
Learning Outcomes:
- Attendees will gain clarity on how SLIMS can:
- Centralize the management of food and environmental testing workflows from sample intake to final reporting
- Integrate instrument data, consumables inventory, digital SOPs, and chain of custody in one system
- Support ISO 17025 compliance through controlled processes, audit trails, and digital documentation
- Provide adaptable workflows across applications such as pesticides, heavy metals, and PFAS, demonstrating flexibility for diverse analytical needs
- Deliver practical improvements in turnaround times, operational consistency, and reporting reliability across contract testing labs
