It offers real-time visualization of charts and data, aligns with ASTM D6299-23a standards, and provides robust tools for an efficient AQC workflow.
Why is aligning with ASTM D6299-23a so important?
ASTM D6299-23a standard is a test procedure for constructing, interpreting, and using statistical quality assurance and control charting methods to assess the performance of analytical measurement systems. It’s vital as it assures that all test methods are providing accurate results, and it also sets limits for discrepancies in results from varying systems.
So, adherence to D6299-23a is crucial in the oil and gas industry as it guarantees measurement consistency across different labs, and fosters confidence in the reliability and comparability of test results. It also aids in regulatory compliance, as many government regulations refer to ASTM methods for fuel quality testing and certification. The bottom line is that it is integral for quality control and improvement in the oil and gas industry.
So, how does SampleManager LIMS Software’s Analytical Quality Control capabilities add value?
SampleManager LIMS Software stands out as a value-added powerful tool in streamlining Analytical Quality Control workflows and bolstering data integrity.

SampleManager LIMS enables centralized data management, automation of quality control processes, and seamless integration with analytical instruments. This integration allows for real-time data collection, analysis, and faster decision-making.
And while Analytical Quality Control modules within other LIMS providers on the market may also be designed to facilitate AQC processes, they will differ in terms of its specific features, functionalities, and compatibility with the needs of industry. They may not come with the same pedigree or scale of portfolio or product support capabilities of Thermo Fisher. Factors such as the ability to integrate with existing systems, ease of use, scalability, regulatory compliance features, and customer support should be taken into consideration.
What’s remarkable about SampleManager LIMS Software, is that not only does ensure the reliability and accuracy of their analytical measurements it also takes this a step further by converting a lab’s quality control narrative into data-driven charts and dashboards. The software’s built-in AQC functionality allows for real-time visualization of charts and data in one place, aligns with ASTM D6299 standards, and offers robust tools for a streamlined AQC workflow. It enables labs to:
- Efficiently manage QC sample log-ins with scheduling
- Visualize AQC limits and trends from directly within result entry
- Account for changes to QC material with a single chart workflow
- Point and click to configure trend rules that meet users specific needs
- Easily visualize pool statistics and comparisons to relevant limits with color-coded highlights
It is, of course, important to thoroughly evaluate the capabilities of any shortlisted LIMS solutions. You might find it prudent to read this guide to LIMS, to determine which one is best suited for your Oil and Gas organization’s needs, and when comparing LIMS providers or pricing a LIMS, it is recommended to consult with experts and conduct a thorough evaluation to ensure that the chosen solution aligns with the specific requirements and success criteria of your organization and can effectively enhance AQC practices within it.
Don’t let product quality get out of control…
The software’s Analytical Quality Control features allow for immediate notifications when samples have been tested with out-of-control instruments. It isolates abnormal samples for immediate access and action, and suspends instruments found to be out of control, sending immediate notifications to relevant personnel. This proactive approach boosts efficiency, compliance, and quality control, leading to enhanced productivity and product quality.
In addition, SampleManager LIMS software presents statistical data through charts, streamlining the analytical quality process and enhancing operational efficiency. It also allows for easy visualization of pool statistics and comparisons to relevant limits with color-coded highlights, providing a clear and comprehensive view of the data.
In essence, SampleManager LIMS Software transforms the lab’s quality control narrative into data-driven charts and dashboards, unleashing the power of data in the oil and gas sector. By partnering with Thermo Fisher for your analytical quality control needs, you can work smarter, not harder, and see your productivity and product quality soar.
