The Tobacco Testing Module, an add-on to the BlazeLIMS Enterprise product, features a comprehensive testing request submission form that embodies FTC, ISO, MASS, Sidestream and other testing regimes in a configurable and easy-to-use form, allowing for the entry of complex sets of brands and testing requirements. The testing request is then automatically translated into the required set of samples, aliquots, analytes and replicates to execute the complex coupled process of smoking and analysis. All the logging requirements for a multi-brand, multi-regime request may be accomplished in a matter of a few minutes. Additional features of interest to the independent testing laboratory include estimates and blinding of brands. The LIMS also provides the QC support required to manage the incorporation of smoking QC and analytical QC samples, handling each in the context of both smoking and analytical batches throughout the laboratory process. It provides ELN automation and tracking for method execution, including preparation and usage tracking for all reagents and standards as desired to accomplish the paperless lab, as well as flexible batch run management.
