Challenges of Water Testing

Data Management

Water Testing generates a high volume of data to be processed quickly and without errors
Data managed across paper reports, Excel spreadsheets, file shares, and LIMS can be difficult to track
Archived data may be lost or become inaccessible over time

The SciCord Solution

Consolidated digital solution to manage your samples, record bench sheet information, trend QCs, and report results
Data available in a timely manner and in a streamlined process from a central repository
All data is archived regularly and made available both online and locally, if needed

Regulatory Compliance

Changing regulations, additional compliance, increasing resource usage
Need for regulatory reporting to be accurate and timely
Manual processes for data collection and reporting can result in inaccurate results, leading to permit violations

The SciCord Solution

Controlled compliant electronic bench sheets
Reports and QC trending
Respond to changing regulations quickly and without relying on expensive consultants to make needed system changes

Equipment

Reliable instrument performance and data is critical to manage your treatment process effectively
Transcribing results from instruments manually can be time-consuming and prone to errors

The SciCord Solution

Monitor routine maintenance and calibration
Directly interface with equipment, or automatically parse instrument output reports depending on needs
Eliminate the need for manual transcription and reduce errors

Cost Savings

Transcription errors, loss of data, system crashes, instrument issues, or misplaced paper records can all cost time and money
Using multiple systems for recording, reviewing, and archiving data can create inefficiencies

The SciCord Solution

Eliminate transcription errors, record raw data directly in electronic bench sheets
Monitoring instrument maintenance and calibration to reduce the chance of an instrument going down
Prevent recording results from uncalibrated or out-of-spec instruments to reduce data loss and identify issues sooner
Centralize data creation, management, and storage
