As LabVantage replaces the StarLIMS system at the National Water Quality Laboratory, the format of data sent to AQUARIUS Samples will shift significantly from today’s QWBATCH structure. This session will explain how LabVantage’s outputs align more closely with AQS’s Observations format, what differences users can expect in the new data model, how these changes enable features and capabilities that were not possible with QWBATCH, and what new constraints will be present in the data flow.
