LTech are pleased to announce that NSW Department of Primary Industries have chosen to replace their existing LIMS with Lims1.
NSW Office of Water in the Department of Primary Industries is responsible for the management of the states surface and groundwater resources.
NSW Office of Water reports to the NSW Government for Water Policy and the administration of key water management legislation, including the Water Management Act 2000 and Water Act 1912.
NSW Office of Water were looking at a system with capabilities of handling large volumes of client requests, an easy and flexible system to monitor work status and data mining capabilities. Lims1 has allowed NSW Office of Water to have greater efficiencies in the laboratory without the need of a programmer. The staff at NSW Office of Water have the capability to monitor the quantity and quality of the laboratories data in accordance to policies and legislations.
Analytica Laboratories combine the experience and talent of New Zealand’s most experienced analytical chemists and commercial laboratory managers. The laboratories testing services range from targeted, known chemical parameters to discovery-based compound identification and are able to test a wide variety of matrices from pharmaceutical and agrichemical ingredients, to microbial organisms, plants and animals. Analytica Laboratories, required a system that was capable of providing a range of internal and external customer reports, Quality Control Tracking, as well as allowing the flexibility to their clients of accessing their results and reports on demand.
We are pleased to announce that Ausgrid has chosen to implement Lims1 in their Chatswood Laboratory. The NATA accredited laboratory, offers a broad range of measurements, indicating their ability to offer the highest level of professional and technical standards. Ausgrid required an easy and flexible system with minimal disruption to staffs current practices, capabilities of monitoring historical results of the transformer oils over time, and a system that will allow staff to have better traceability of results. Lims1 has allowed the staff to have greater efficiencies in their workflow practices, enabling faster turnarounds for both their internal and external customers.
TropWATER’s Water Quality Laboratory, providing water quality assessment services for James Cook University’s research goes live with Lims1.
The laboratories focus is on analytical research of water, wastewaters, sediments, biological tissue samples and the expertise of discharge license compliance monitoring.
TropWATER required a LIMS organisation that could offer a long term relationship.
With results exported from the laboratories instrumentation directly into the Lims1 database, and the ease and the ease and flexibility of historical result searches will now allow TropWATER to see an increase in efficiencies in their Laboratory.
Please join us for our webinar on Wed, Apr 9, 2014 9:00 AM – 9:30 AM AEST to hear from Ron Fisher, Laboratory Manager at Swinburne University of Technology, how they used Laboratory Information System Lims1 to streamline their lab process and made their future lab managers workforce-ready.
Ron and the Lims1 team will share with you
– A short intro to Lims1
– what Swinburne University was looking for in a LIMS system and a supplier partnership to get their students future-proofed
– what the pre-implementation issues and
– post-implementation benefits for the lab were plus
– what learning can be taken from this project.
If you are looking to implement a LIMS over the coming year, this webinar is right for you as many tips for planning and implementation can be taken away from this case study.
We hope to see you there.

Lims1 is a 32bit Windows Client/Server-based suite of executables and is used in a multitude of different environments (over which we have no control).
For SQL Server installations, it is assumed that the database server has already been established.
Lims1 Version 9 is compatible with MS SQL Server Version 2008, 2008R2 and 2012. For other configurations please contact LTech Technical Support.
LTech does not supply SQL Server licences. It is the responsibility of the end-user to have the correctly licensed SQL Server and Client software and the appropriate installation media.
We test against limited versions of Microsoft Office. Lims1 V9 is compatible with later 32bit versions of Microsoft Office (Office 2003 and above) but there are known issues with the 64bit version of Office 2013. If customers depend on Outlook and Excel, they must test the upgraded versions with Lims1 before rolling out to the production environment.
Lims1 depends on each user be able to access (Read and Write) a common network folder. The default path for installation of the application files is C:\Program Files\LTech Australia\LimsOne\bin but with security restrictions usually applied to the C:\Program Files folder for 32bit Operating Systems or the Program Files (x86) folder for 64bit Operating Systems in Windows Vista or later, it is easier to manage if Lims1 is installed to a different drive, e.g. the D: drive. The bin folder must have read/write access. Share out the LTech Australia folder so that it can be used later when the global LimsOne Folder is established.
We have found some issues with 32-bit and 64-bit Citrix and Terminal S execution environments. Specifically, saving/restoring user Registry settings, accessing printers and using the correct Locale. The issues seem to be inconsistent and depend on the client’s specific installation.
Lims1 uses a serial port to connect a balance to some applications. This connection may be difficult to establish in Citrix, Terminal Services and virtual ( App-V ) environments.
LTech customer service and developer personnel are not experts in the specifics of Citrix, TS or App-V. Customers are expected to test Lims1 in their environments before deployment. We will assist with deployment issues and may make coding changes where this will enhance the compatibility of Lims1 with our customer’s execution environments generally.
