Technology and products

OnLIMS and Online Worksheet

OnLIMS is a modular laboratory information management system (LIMS) for the mining industry that "specializes in geochemical solutions and was carefully designed to cleanly store samples generated in a small or large mining plant."^[5] Primary modules include Online Worksheet (an electronic laboratory notebook or ELN), OnLQC for quality control, OnLab for laboratory management, and LabData for client management.^[5]

Online Worksheet is an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) module of OnLIMS that is "designed to integrate the laboratory at the bench level and to standardize all analytical techniques."^[6] It's not clear if the ELN can function as stand-alone software.

Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:

the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
the feature does not exist for the product.

A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.
