===Sample registration and management===
===Document and compliance management===
Please describe how your cannabis testing LIMS helps laboratories securely and efficiently facilitate the registration, tracking, and management of cannabis and other related sample types. Describe what metadata and identifiers are supported for registered samples, including lot number, field number, client demographics, sampling point, random selection process used, and other cannabis-specific identifiers. Additionally, briefly explain any other configurable sample registration preferences available, the level of chain-of-custody tracking provided (ideally at every single step), and sample statuses supported (e.g., does the LIMS manage sample weight reconciliation as sample material moves throughout the lab?).
Please describe how your cannabis testing LIMS helps clients better manage their industry- and regulation-specific compliance documentation responsibilities and requirements. Provide details about LIMS mechanisms such as document management and storage, versioning, approval and rejection, validation, auditing, signing, and disposition in relation to better meeting those compliance efforts.

===Core laboratory testing - Basics===
===Resource and inventory management===
Please describe how your cannabis testing LIMS facilitates the rapid and error-free testing of cannabis-related samples. Describe the types of pre-loaded state- and local-compliant cannabis testing protocols in the system, as well as their degree of configurable measurement units and substrates/matrices. Does the same level of configurability of pre-defined test protocols apply to any client-creatable test protocols? Verify that pre-loaded protocols include testing for acid and neutral forms of cannabinoids, potency testing, strain identification, water activity, moisture content, pesticides, solvents, heavy metals, microbiological contaminates, fungi, mycotoxins, and foreign matter.  
Please describe how your cannabis testing LIMS helps clients better manage their laboratory's resources (e.g., time, training, and money) and inventory (e.g., equipment, test samples, reagents, and standards). What makes your LIMS solution stand out about resource and inventory management for cannabis testing laboratories? For example, describe special features like sample weight reconciliation, disposition management, training and certification management, configurable schedulers, and cannabis-related billing management that are important to a cannabis testing laboratory.

===Miscellaneous activity management===
Please describe in brief any additional noteworthy functionality in your cannabis testing LIMS (outside of what has been mentioned so far) that supports the operations and workflow of a cannabis testing laboratory. This includes, but is not limited to, instrument maintenance and management, calibration scheduling, batch and lot management, and alarm and alert management.


===Core laboratory testing - Advanced===
Please describe the level of support your cannabis testing LIMS provides in regards to unique forms of sampling and testing such as representative sampling, calibration testing, quality control testing, preventative maintenance testing, stability testing, sterility testing, compatibility testing, identity testing, proficiency testing, and service-event-related testing. Is retest workflow fully supported?

===Quality management===
===Review, verification, approval, and rejection===
Please describe how your cannabis testing LIMS helps clients improve the quality of their processes, data, and test results. Address critical functionality such as out-of-specification (OOS) and out-of-trend (OOT) identification, nonconformance and deviation tracking, corrective action documentation and management, and quality management system documentation and management.
Please explain in brief the review, verification, approval, and rejection processes for test results built into your cannabis testing LIMS. Which of those processes can be automated and customized? Also address how flexible specification limits are within the system.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
===Reporting===
Keeping in mind the importance of accurate and timely results reporting for cannabis testing laboratories, please describe how your LIMS facilitates such reporting. Explain the level of customization reports, including certificates of analysis, have in the LIMS. Does the system come with pre-loaded report templates based on state and local regulations affecting the lab? Additionally, describe the level of automation applied to results reporting, including feeding results to customers via email or secure web portal. If additional reporting dashboard tools for benchmarking, variance reporting, visualization are available, highlight those as well.

Document and compliance management

Please describe how your cannabis testing LIMS helps clients better manage their industry- and regulation-specific compliance documentation responsibilities and requirements. Provide details about LIMS mechanisms such as document management and storage, versioning, approval and rejection, validation, auditing, signing, and disposition in relation to better meeting those compliance efforts.




Resource and inventory management

Please describe how your cannabis testing LIMS helps clients better manage their laboratory's resources (e.g., time, training, and money) and inventory (e.g., equipment, test samples, reagents, and standards). What makes your LIMS solution stand out about resource and inventory management for cannabis testing laboratories? For example, describe special features like sample weight reconciliation, disposition management, training and certification management, configurable schedulers, and cannabis-related billing management that are important to a cannabis testing laboratory.




Miscellaneous activity management

Please describe in brief any additional noteworthy functionality in your cannabis testing LIMS (outside of what has been mentioned so far) that supports the operations and workflow of a cannabis testing laboratory. This includes, but is not limited to, instrument maintenance and management, calibration scheduling, batch and lot management, and alarm and alert management.




Quality management

Please describe how your cannabis testing LIMS helps clients improve the quality of their processes, data, and test results. Address critical functionality such as out-of-specification (OOS) and out-of-trend (OOT) identification, nonconformance and deviation tracking, corrective action documentation and management, and quality management system documentation and management.
