Thermo Fisher
Scientific Offers Data Management Solution for Mining Industry with
SampleManager LIMS
PHILADELPHIA (August 1, 2008) – Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader
in serving science, today announced that its laboratory information management
systems (LIMS) offer efficiencies, improved productivity and regulatory
compliance for the modern mining industry. LIMS are a key component in the
day-to-day management of a modern mining operation, not only to monitor the
quality of the mine’s output, but also to drive increased productivity and help
the mining operations comply with myriad regulatory requirements related to
everything from documentation and instrument calibration to environmental
monitoring.
Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS™ offers the modern mining industry a
centralized system to access data and extract information, enabling effective
management of laboratory operations. The LIMS provides evidence and
documentation to support laboratory compliance with ISO 17025, allowing full
traceability of personnel and procedures entered and facilitating the review of
all incidents, corrective actions, non-conforming results and other events.
SampleManager LIMS also includes built-in functionality to handle environmental
monitoring. Within SampleManager, environmental monitoring of key areas of the
laboratory can be scheduled, and validation of methods allows laboratory
managers to achieve continuous compliance with ISO 17025.
The future of mining depends on the industry’s capacity to maintain a balance
between profitability and preservation of new environments, human capital and
the surrounding communities. This requires assessment of risk at all stages to
ensure that impacts on the environment and on humans are always understood.
Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS addresses these requirements, serving as a
tool to manage mining data, which enables laboratory and mining operations
managers to obtain faster results, improved efficiencies, increased margins, and
certification of the end product. An automated information management system can
ensure secure documentation and compliance with the many requirements imposed on
the industry. Modern mining operations realize these benefits and deliver
increased value to their shareholders when they automate their laboratories with
world-class LIMS.
To further secure its position as a leader in the mining industry, Thermo Fisher
is hosting a Laboratory Informatics Symposium – Latin America Mining Day - in
Belo Horizonte Lourdes Brazil on August 12, 2008. The Latin America Mining Day
will offer an exciting program aimed at introducing the full capabilities of
Thermo Scientific laboratory data management solutions to the mining industry.
