Environmental Testing

Water, soil, and air labs run high sample volumes with strict traceability and reporting demands. Aliquora organizes sampling events, tracks chain of custody, watches EPA Part 136 holding times, and exports regulator-ready EDDs — without a per-seat enterprise rollout.

What Aliquora handles for Environmental Testing

  • Organize samples by sampling event, site, and matrix
  • Chain of custody from field collection to receipt
  • EPA Part 136 holding-time tracking with approach/expiry alerts
  • Flag results against reporting limits and action levels
  • EDD export to EQuIS, GeoTracker, and generic CSV

How it works

A typical environmental testing workflow in Aliquora

  1. 1

    Define the sampling event

    Create a project or sampling event and attach location metadata: site name, GPS coordinates, sampling date, and matrix type (water, soil, air, sediment). Group samples by event so you can review an entire site run together.

  2. 2

    Log field samples with chain of custody

    Record each sample collected at the site with its sample ID, collection time, depth or elevation, and the chain-of-custody transfer. Custody events are tracked from field collection through lab receipt, and the holding-time clock starts from the collection and received dates automatically.

  3. 3

    Track holding times

    Aliquora computes the effective EPA Part 136 holding time for each analysis and surfaces samples approaching or past their hold time, so analyses get run — and flagged — before the window closes.

  4. 4

    Import results and review exceedances

    Upload instrument output as CSV or enter values manually. Each analyte is mapped to its configured reporting limit or action level, and any exceedance — or a hold-time issue — is surfaced for a documented disposition before the sample can be closed.

  5. 5

    Export the EDD and archive

    Generate an electronic data deliverable in EQuIS or GeoTracker format (or a generic CSV) for regulatory submission, plus a PDF summary for client deliverables. All records stay searchable by site, date, and analyte.

Environmental labs must demonstrate defensible chain of custody, honor EPA Part 136 holding times, and submit results in regulator-specified formats. Aliquora tracks custody transfers, watches holding times per analysis, and exports EQuIS/GeoTracker EDDs — with a per-action audit log capturing every entry, edit, and approval by timestamp and user.

Frequently asked questions

Does Aliquora export EDDs for EQuIS and GeoTracker?
Yes. Approved results can be exported as electronic data deliverables in EQuIS and GeoTracker formats, as well as a generic CSV EDD, so you can submit to the same state and client systems you use today.
How does holding-time tracking work?
Aliquora starts the clock from each sample's collection and received dates, computes the effective EPA Part 136 holding time for every analysis, and raises alerts as analyses approach or exceed their window — deduplicated so you're not spammed for the same analysis.
Can we maintain chain of custody?
Yes. Custody is tracked as transfer events tied to each sample, from field collection through lab receipt, with status updating automatically as samples move and a reconciliation summary on receipt.
Can we configure different reporting limits per analyte and matrix?
Yes. Reporting limits, maximum contaminant levels, and action levels are configured per test type and can vary by matrix or project, so every result is judged against the right threshold.
