Analysis Configuration

AssayNet LIMS provides a robust and flexible framework for configuring analytical workflows to meet the specific operational needs of the laboratory. The analysis configuration defines how tests are structured, calculated and reported—from individual analytes to complete test packages.

Each component plays a key role:

• Methods and Method Types—Define standard procedures and associate them with the correct instrument type.
• Fractions—Analysis fractions are similar to preparation products, but they exist lower down in the analytical chain. Although multiple fractions are seldom used in minerals analysis, every analysis code must have at least one analysis fraction.
• Analyte Types—Groupings for analytes.
• Analytes—Define the parameters being measured numeric or non numeric.
• Units—Concentration and other measurement units, along with unit conversions, ensure that all types of measurements are properly supported in AssayNet LIMS.
• Analyte Schemes—Combine analytes, units and methods to form the smallest unit of analytical work—this is where results are entered, imported, or calculated.
• Detection Limits—Help flag results below or above quantifiable thresholds and instrument detection limits
• Analysis Codes—Group analyte schemes and specify laboratory and instrument job conditions.
• Packages—Bundle analysis codes and analyte schemes into test suites tailored to specific client or project needs.

This section describes how to create and configure each of these key components, and how they work together to build the required analysis suite tailored to your specific requirements. This section lays the foundation for implementing more advanced workflows, calculations, and quality control in AssayNet LIMS.
