Challenges of Water Testing

Data Management

This p tag is needed to trigger the image layout swap

  • 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

This p tag is needed to trigger the image layout swap

  • 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

This p tag is needed to trigger the image layout swap

  • 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

This p tag is needed to trigger the image layout swap

  • 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
