Built a laboratory application producing MHRA submission files and removing substantial manual effort.
“Slynk made the whole process simple, from basic design through launch and continued support. We highly recommend them.”
Turning laboratory analysis into a controlled workflow
EL Science provides analytical and manufacturing services for eLiquids. When the Tobacco Products Directive introduced new compliance requirements, it needed a custom application to manage sample analysis and prepare the documentation and files required for submission.
The system also needed checks and balances that highlighted irregularities or results that did not meet the required criteria, while making selected batch-test data available to customers through the company WordPress website.
A working application for analysts
Slynk worked with people across EL Science to understand the laboratory process and built an application used throughout the company to record analysis results. It automatically performs calculations, flags anomalies and retains data that can support future analysis.
The application generates regulatory documentation for submission to the MHRA through the European Common Entry Gate notification portal. Selected Ethar data can also be surfaced on the public website when a customer searches for batch results.
The outcome
The service replaced hundreds of staff hours of work each week, improved standardisation and quality, and continued to evolve as the laboratory team identified new ways to use its data.
