Digital Transformation in Wet Chemistry Laboratories

Blog Digital Transformation In Wet Chemistry Laboratories 720X480pxl (1)

In the world of analytical chemistry, wet chemistry techniques like Kjeldahl, Solvent Extraction and Fiber analysis remain cornerstones for determining many critical parameters. However, traditional methods often rely on manual processes, paper-based records and fragmented workflows. The digital transformation can help laboratories to modernize.

Why Digitalization? 

Digital transformation and digital data management are increasingly vital in all laboratories due to their impact on efficiency, accuracy, and innovation.

Key drivers are: 

  • Increased need to free up operators and researchers for high-value work
  • Increased Data Integrity requirements from governmental and certification bodies
  • Larger datasets that should be managed in databases instead of on paper
  • Increased need to cut operational costs with streamlined workflows
  • New technologies that demand exchange of digital information


The Need for Digital Transformation of the Wet Chemistry Laboratory

Analytical laboratories, particularly those performing wet chemistry, face unique challenges. These methods involve precise measurements, multiple steps and strict adherence to standards like ISO 17025 and FDA Title 21 Part 11. Manual data entry and paper logs can result in errors, time loss and compliance risks.

Digital transformation of a Laboratory addresses these issues by automating workflows and centralizing data. With connected instruments it allows labs to focus on analysis rather than administration. Done correctly an SQL database offers distinct advantages over other data storage solutions. It provides structured data organization with robust querying capabilities, strong data consistency and reliability through standardized protocols and transactional support. Backups are easy to maintain and control. It is possible to encrypt SQL databases to ensure integrity of the recorded data.

How LabConnect Powers Digital Transformation 

LabConnect, designed by OPSIS LiquidLINE, is a software solution that digitizes and optimizes laboratory workflows. It offers a secure, searchable SQL database, seamless instrument integration and compliance-focused features. LabConnect provides Sample Registration, Balance Connection, Result Management, Instrument Connectivity, Reporting, Data Visualization and Secure Data Storage. 

The software’s ability to connect OPSIS LiquidLINE instruments, balances and barcode scanners creates a fully integrated digital ecosystem. No need to enter weights manually or risk errors when entering parameters into an instrument. The software empower labs to move away from paper-based systems and embrace a future-proof digital workflow. By automating routine tasks and ensuring traceability, LabConnect saves time, reduces errors and enhances data reliability.
