Codelco controls approximately 20 percent of the world\u2019s copper reserves.

The company needed a new system that could connect their four mining divisions. Given the extent of their geography, Codelco required a LIMS capable of integrating several remote and networked systems into a common platform.<\/p>\n<p>After a detailed selection process, Codelco selected SampleManager LIMS software. The company stated that its key selection criteria was the ability of SampleManager LIMS software to connect and align with in-house technology in the lab and throughout the entire organization.\u00a0 Codelco also valued Thermo Fisher\u2019s reputation for rapid response, extensive project management capabilities, and the availability of training, sales and support in their own language.<\/p>\n<p>The SampleManager LIMS software project started with a system implementation in Chuquicamata and several of the remote sampling sites that were part of Codelco\u2019s North division.\u00a0 Since then, the rollout was extended to the remaining three divisions and other affiliates.<\/p>\n<p>With SampleManager LIMS software implemented, Codelco achieved compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) principles.\u00a0 The audit tracking and validation in SampleManager LIMS software conforms to the requirements for environmental and security compliance ISO 9000 and ISO 1800 that are part of the GLP good standing.<\/p>\n<p>Working with the LIMS was key to create a more dynamic overall process in Codelco, from sampling and preparation of the raw materials undergoing a controlled process with automated reports and information analysis, to obtaining a product approved by quality and ready for commercialization. Besides providing the software and its implementation to improve productivity and support the quality process, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/blog\/connectedlab\/lims-reporting-six-tips-to-actionable-data\/\">LIMS interfaces<\/a> to other information systems and business applications to automatically collect data and provide laboratory statistics, such as workload, man-hours, utilization of assets, budgets and cost of processes.
