Sample registration and 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?).

Core laboratory testing - Basics

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.

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?

Review, verification, approval, and rejection

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.
