The Reston Stable Isotope Laboratory "conducts research on the use of isotope ratio measurements in studies of water resources and environmental quality" for people inside and outside the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).[1] The laboratory also develops and offers cost-free several genre-specific laboratory informatics software products.

History

In September 2015, Los Gatos Research released an updated version of LIMS for Lasers, which acts as a "[f]ull client project and sample data management and reporting system" designed "for all off-axis (OA-ICOS) or cavity ring-down (CRDS) laser absorption spectrographs (LAS) used for δ2H, δ18O, and δ17O assays of liquid water samples" and includes a full users guide.[2]

Technology and products

LIMS for Lasers and LIMS for Light Stable Isotopes

LIMS for Lasers is a Microsoft Access-based laboratory information management system "for off-axis (OA-ICOS) and cavity ring-down (CRDS) laser absorption spectrometers (LAS) for δ2H, δ18O, and δ17O measurements of liquid water."[3]

LIMS for Light Stable Isotopes is a Microsoft Access-based LIMS "for both LAS and isotope-ratio mass spectrometers (IRMSs)" that "has proven useful in laboratories that receive samples from numerous individuals or perform at least a few thousand isotopic analyses per year."[3]

Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:
  • the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
  • the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
  • the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
  • the feature does not exist for the product.
A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.
