At ATL, we’re committed to working closely with the water/wastewater industry. We think you’ll enjoy this Technology News article about an exciting discovery by environmental geoscientists. A team in Vienna tracks traces of an artificial sweetener, acesulfame, in wastewater, as it is not metabolized in the human body.

We’re kicking off a new webcast series starting on January 18 with “The Importance of a Complete LIMS Solution: Don’t Forget the Enhancements, Support and Training!” This is the first of our complimentary monthly presentations for 2023.

ATL is committed to working with the cannabis industry, and made METRC validation a priority. Our LIMS are used in cannabis labs across the nation for safety and purity testing as well as compliance. METRC stands for Marijuana Enforcement Tracking and Compliance.

Errors occur every day in healthcare facilities worldwide, and sometimes these errors prove fatal. Sample and Specimen identification errors are more frequent than you would believe, and are reported as the most common laboratory error.

We’re hearing a lot of buzz from our users about an emerging challenge for the water/wastewater industry – per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) testing. PFAS are man-made chemicals that have been used in industry and consumer products worldwide since the 1950s.

A recent article in European Pharmaceutical Review identified ATL as a major contributor to impressive growth in the global LIMS market-projected to reach $3.56B by 2030. ATL has been a leader in LIMS and lab automation for more than 25 years.

Today’s technology enables the creation of vast amounts of data. This data must be collected, tracked, managed, retrieved, and used to support compliance. To succeed in this environment, a LIMS is no longer a luxury but a necessity.

Your lab is barely keeping up. Work volume is increasing, resources are strained. Tools are old and outdated. Processes are manual and time-consuming. You have researched LIMS implementation and it sounds like a great solution. But is it worth the time and effort?

The term “lab of the future” is one we see often lately. What is the vision for technology that will revolutionize the way labs operate? One thing is certain– ATL will be there, providing cutting-edge automation, mobile solutions, and next-generation thinking.

In 2021, Congress passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), to address long-overlooked infrastructure needs across the U.S. These sought after resources come at a time when utilities and laboratories are being asked to do more with less.

Another year of success, wins, relationship building, and science at its best. We came together to overcome challenges of the pandemic, developed new ways to connect, and remained focused on the important work our customers and their constituents rely on.

You’ve finally decided to purchase or upgrade your LIMS. This is a complex undertaking, but if the work is done upfront, the rewards can be well worth the effort in terms of time savings, cost savings, and process improvements.

You’ve completed a needs assessment (gap analysis), identified and prioritized user needs and functionality. After a few months of planning, design, configuration, verification testing, and coding your new LIMS is ready to deploy. If you are replacing an existing...

Security breaches, malware, viruses, all common occurrences in today’s business environment. Data security a is serious matter. Exposure can have devastating consequences, both operationally and financially.

What is it? Traceability means a complete understanding of today’s complex food chain and testing at control points where contamination is likely to occur. Understanding the source of all raw ingredients, the CoA (Certificate of Analysis) report, other test results,...

Mobile technology has made our lives easier in many ways. In addition to keeping us connected on a personal level, mobile applications have improved our professional lives by simplifying and streamlining tasks. This is evident in the analytical laboratory. An increase...

Your lab is busy! Processes are manual and paper-based. There’s regulatory compliance issues to contend with. You need to act to improve data quality. Like most lab managers in this situation, you are overwhelmed, and you are unsure how to start.
