Streamlined Reporting and Empowering New Tools to Help Quality
Assurance Managers Monitor and Improve Laboratory Performance
GOLDEN, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 2015--
Waters Corporation (NYSE:WAT) today announced that ERA®, A
Waters® Business, introduced the new eDATA®
2.0 Proficiency Testing (PT) portal enabling environmental
laboratories to manage their proficiency testing data more efficiently
and gain greater insight into their laboratory’s performance. The portal
features new statistical analysis, data visualization and reporting
tools that give environmental lab managers the ability to track results
over time, flag potential issues and take preventive steps before
corrective action becomes necessary.
“The new PT dashboard makes it easier and faster to manage PT studies
and offers quality assurance professionals more options for analyzing
and interpreting data,” said Michael Yelle, Vice President Consumables
Business Unit, Waters Division. “Moreover, eDATA allows us to better
address the proficiency testing requirements of our international
customers. ERA’s in-depth knowledge of major international accreditation
and regulatory bodies enables us to expertly guide customers through the
analytical challenges they face.”
In
a newly-published webinar, ERA’s proficiency testing experts
demonstrate the new features of eDATA 2.0 and the ease with which test
results can be managed.
Environmental laboratories are required to conduct periodic proficiency
tests to maintain their accreditation. Proficiency tests measure a
laboratory’s ability to generate high-quality, credible results for
their clients. Laboratory managers use proficiency test data to assess
their lab’s state of compliance with industry standards and identify
areas for improvement in terms of productivity and efficiency.
