The LSpecs extension for ESdat, in combination with a field-based tablet data collection system such as pLog, provides a complete electronic data trail which enables you to:
- plan your sampling programme prior to fieldwork;
- collect and record field data such as borehole logging information and field parameter sampling;
- issue electronic lab sample details and requests (Chain of Custody or COC);
- rapidly identify inconsistencies between lab requests and deliverables at the touch of a button; and
- sign off on lab reports.
Electronic COC and sign off has the following advantages:
- all data is stored electronically and backed-up;
- no more waterlogged paper-based forms;
- no typographic errors introduced during lab sample check in;
- easy to calculate expected lab costs;
- QA samples are tracked electronically and correctly identified; and
- inconsistencies between lab requests and deliverables are flagged automatically.
Electronic COC requires the LSpecs extension for ESdat.
