Sample Master iMobile

Mobile data collection for laboratory sample logging, eliminating paper forms and improving data quality in field and remote environments.

Overview

Sample Master iMobile is a web-based mobile data collection application developed by ATL for use with their Sample Master LIMS. It is designed for laboratories, field teams, and QA testing organizations that need to collect and transmit sample data away from traditional computer workstations. By leveraging Wi-Fi and 3G/4G/5G cellular technologies, Sample Master iMobile enables real-time data capture and delivery, helping organizations reduce costs, improve data quality, eliminate paper forms, and remain competitive.

The application is fully user-configurable, allowing organizations to tailor its default features to meet their specific operational needs and support rapid turnaround of results for clients. It is seamlessly integrated with the Sample Master LIMS, ensuring that data collected in the field flows directly into the laboratory information management system without redundant manual entry.
