Bika LIMS Branches
Bika BranchesThe generic Bika configuration and functionality are replicated in Bika Branches, supplemented with add-ons as applicable and then configured with data sets for the discipline Bika FoodFor the Food and Beverage sector These implementations often feature extensive food safety specifications, different for all the many sample types normally handled by these labs, from raw meat, seafood and dairy, egg, grains fruits and vegetables as well processed, frozen, canned or dried versions; Alcoholic, non-alcoholic and concentrated beverages; Animal feed; Packaging Food labs are often set up for analyses configured per food class, in organic and inorganic, organic, additive, mycotoxin and pesticide categories and big microbiology component Bika CannabisAdditional attributes METRC interfacing via Track & Trace addon Background processing for bulky samples and analyses Cannabis specific Certificate of Analysis - Early example, customisable State Limits are used to configure analysis specifications. Results beyond regulatory specification configured are highlighted in views and results certificates, COAs Since analysis request objects may include a 100 and more tests, big batches are processed in an asynchronous background queue |
Bika Water - Environmental managementConfigured for water quality and environmental management, testing water matrices: bottled, drinking, ground, irrigation, potable, recreational, river, sea, and surface water; sewage, wastewater and industrial effluent; for treatment, water from boilers, condensers and cooling systems Analyses are typically configured in categories for Anions, Inorganic Non-metallic, Metals and Cations, Organic, Microbiology, Physical Properties, Pollutants, Volatile and Non Volatile Pesticides Sample points are often grouped per location, e.g all the places in a village or building where samples are collected. Field results are captured Water labs often do their own Sampling - this workflow step is enabled in the configuration and users set up with Sampler authorisation Samples are partitioned and sample in differently preserved containers depending on which tests have to be carried out Calculations, apart from standard dilution and weight loss formulas, may include complex Langelier and Ryznar corrosion and scale index calculations Analysis specifications are usually configured to country drinking water quality standards or that of the World Health Organisation In some instances water labs also analyse soil and air samples in environmental health and agricultural applications |
Bika HealthAdds Patients and Diagnosis to the general Bika setup, for use in health care and veterinary settings Microorganism Identification, Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing, ICD coded Diseases and Symptoms, Panic level alerts An older version, still in use, features full clinical case management Clinics, hospital wards and general practitioners are set up as LIMS clients, and their contacts as care givers. Per region and district which makes the system suitable for epidemiology It also features a regulatory inspector role Bika Health has seen specialised deployment for Ebola, EID and VL cases and successfully interfaced to EMR/HIS Bika Fire AssayUsed in mining and exploration labs to analyse for say precious metals using mainly atomic absorption and x-ray diffraction methods after fire assay and other extraction methods Samples are vigorously prepared, crushed, milled, sized and split and these steps, with and without measurements are set up as analysis services ordered in the sequence the steps are executed Bulk sample intakes are read in from spreadsheets and delivery slips Bika TribosFor use in tribology labs measuring the properties of lubricants used in big machinery and transformers for maintenance information Sample points are configured on theses as locations |
