Case Study: New York-Based Water Testing Lab achieves 70% fewer data errors and 30% faster sample turnaround with Scispot alt-LIMS

How a New York-Based Water Testing Lab Reduced Errors by 70% and Cut Sample Turnaround by 30% with Scispot alt-LIMS

The New York-Based Water Testing Lab, which processes over 500 water samples weekly to support government water safety initiatives, struggled with high sample volumes, manual data-entry errors and time-consuming EPA/ISO 17025 audit preparation. To modernize tracking, QC and compliance, the lab implemented Scispot’s alt-LIMS on the Scispot Professional plan.

Scispot deployed a barcode-based sample management system, automated quality-control workflows and pre-configured compliance templates with secure audit trails. As a result, the lab reduced manual data errors by 70%, cut sample turnaround time by 30%, and achieved near-perfect compliance/audit readiness (98–100%), enabling faster, more reliable reporting to government agencies.
