Environmental lab data you can trust — from sample receipt to final result.
Environmental Lab Software
LabKey manages chain of custody, hold time tracking, method-specific QA/QC, and data qualification in one system — so your records are complete, connected, and ready when you need them.
Request DemoResults are only half the story — traceability is the other half.
Environmental testing data carries accountability burdens most lab software wasn't built for. Results feed permit decisions, remediation strategies, and client deliverables that face third-party scrutiny. When data is questioned, every step has to be documentable: custody transfers, hold time compliance, QA/QC execution, and the rationale behind every qualifier. A result that can't be traced through its full history isn't reliable.
LabKey environmental lab software tracks samples from receipt through final result, with automated hold time calculation, method-specific QA/QC execution, and data traceability built into the workflow. Commercial labs get records that build during operations — not assembled from separate exports the night before delivery. In-house compliance labs get monitoring data traceable from field collection to final reported value, with no gaps to fill in after the fact.
Drinking water, groundwater, wastewater, soil, sediment, and air each require different metadata, hold times, preservation requirements, and method assignments. LabKey's configurable sample types carry the right fields for each matrix — without the workarounds that create gaps the next reviewer finds. One system for every matrix your lab handles, with the data architecture each method requires.
Hold times without manual tracking
Holding times calculated automatically from collection date and time for every sample-analyte combination. Configurable fields surface hold time risk before extraction or analysis windows close — not after.
QA/QC built into every run
Every control type — blanks, spikes, surrogates, duplicates, and more — tracked against the acceptance criteria your methods require, in the same system as your sample data. Failures surface during the run, before they reach the data package or trigger a client re-sample.
Reporting that reflects the full picture
Reports generated from the same connected data your lab worked from — so deliverables reflect what actually happened, not what could be reconstructed before the deadline. Trends, exceedances, and QA/QC performance visible across samples, batches, and projects without exporting to a separate tool.
