Environmental Labs

Built for environmental testing complexity.

PureLIMS handles multi-matrix, multi-method, multi-state environmental testing — with EPA method compliance, chain-of-custody, and regulatory reporting built into every workflow.

Challenges you know too well

These are the pain points we hear from labs in your industry — and the reasons they switch to PureLIMS.

Multi-State Compliance

Every state has different reporting requirements, action limits, and submission formats. Managing them manually leads to errors and audit findings.

Chain-of-Custody Gaps

Paper-based custody forms get lost, arrive incomplete, or can't be traced back to specific handoffs — a critical audit risk for environmental samples.

EPA Method Complexity

Hundreds of EPA methods across water, soil, and air matrices — each with specific QC requirements, holding times, and preservation rules.

High Sample Volumes

Environmental labs process thousands of samples per week across dozens of projects. Bottlenecks in accessioning and reporting slow everything down.

Data Integrity Under Scrutiny

Environmental data drives regulatory decisions. Any question about data integrity can invalidate entire projects and damage lab credibility.

Fragmented Instrument Data

Data from ICP-MS, GC-MS, IC, and other instruments lives in separate systems. Manual transcription introduces errors and slows turnaround.

Water, Soil & Air Testing

Pre-configured workflows for drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, soil, sediment, and ambient air testing. Each matrix type has its own sample handling, QC, and reporting rules.

  • Matrix-specific sample handling and preservation rules
  • Holding time tracking with automatic alerts
  • Multi-matrix project management
  • Field sampling parameter capture
  • Composite and grab sample support
  • Subcontract lab tracking for specialty analyses

EPA Method Compliance

Built-in support for EPA 500, 600, 200, 300, 8000, and TO-series methods. QC requirements — method blanks, LCS, MS/MSD, duplicates — are enforced automatically per method.

  • Pre-loaded EPA method templates
  • Automatic QC batch association
  • Method blank, LCS, MS/MSD enforcement
  • Control chart generation per analyte
  • Method detection limit tracking
  • Corrective action workflows on QC failure

Unbroken Chain-of-Custody

Digital chain-of-custody from field collection through lab processing. Every handoff is captured with e-signatures, timestamps, and condition documentation.

  • Digital COC with e-signature at every transfer
  • Temperature and condition logging at receipt
  • Photo capture for sample condition documentation
  • Custody gap detection with automatic alerts
  • Field-to-lab COC continuity
  • One-click COC export for regulatory submission

  • State-specific report templates and EDD formats
  • Automatic limit comparison per jurisdiction
  • Electronic data deliverable generation
  • SDWA and NPDES reporting support
  • Multi-state project reporting
  • Regulatory submission queue with status tracking
