Food Analytical Laboratories

In today's modern world where laboratories are now mainly independent businesses rather than components of larger, non-testing companies, AIS LIMS is ideally suited to this sort of laboratory.

Food Analytical Laboratories Limited (FALabs) was established by a management team who exited one of the largest UK testing companies in 2006. The business plan demanded a business structure capable of servicing a five million turnover laboratory analysing over 3000 samples (15,000 tests) a day within three years. In addition the demand was to have the highest quality of all laboratories, the lowest cost base and be commercially slick.

"My team were extremely experienced in configuring and developing Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and were in the unique situation of being able to start FALabs with any LIMS of our choice, or even build our own. The choice was actually easy, why do it ourselves? We chose AIS LIMS because it is more than a LIMS. What we needed was a solution that could be configured with ease and go further; in fact we needed a 'BLIMS', a Business and Laboratory Management System!

says Stephen Harris, Director and CEO

"AIS LIMS not only handles with ease the data volumes we require and all the other standard quality laboratory functions, it also acts as our invoicing system, seamlessly producing invoices and exporting them to our accounts package. The AIS team solve any issues we have and work with us to make any improvements we wish to make. AIS LIMS also links into many other business applications."

"Whilst price was not really an issue, the total cost inclusive of additional user licences etc. actually worked out significantly lower priced for both purchase and support than several major international suppliers, or doing it ourselves! Installation and configuration time was days rather than months and help was always there on request."

"In today's modern world where laboratories are now mainly independent businesses rather than components of larger, non-testing companies, AIS LIMS is ideally suited to this sort of laboratory and we have no hesitation in referring this product."

AIS LIMS
AIS AQC software is available integrated into AIS LIMS or as a standalone product. It contains a set of powerful features for checking results against stored target values. The software will react to, and warn of bias and drift on predefined constants and provide audit trail of AQC breaches when integrated into AIS LIMS.
