Babcock Labs conducts an extensive on-boarding process for all new employees, coordinating between Human Resources, the Quality Assurance Department, and the assigned employee manager. In addition to LIMS and HR policy training, employees must perform initial demonstrations of capability prior to performing analyses. Staff receives annual refresher training in various aspects of Quality Control and Quality Assurance practices, including Ethics training. These practices help ensure that Babcock Labs, through its professional staff, can be relied upon to produce data of known and properly documented quality. For QA/QC information, please see "Quality Assurance / Quality Control" in the Company Information section. For specific organizational and staffing information, please see the Company Personnel section.
APPLIED TECHNOLOGY
Client project data and reports are maintained in the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). Babcock utilizes a highly flexible software system which is integrated with instrumentation, client relationship management (CRM), client portal, and accounting programs.
Information entered into the LIMS allows for real-time data queries by project, sample location, analytical parameter and/or date range.
Babcock Labs utilizes a highly functional Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and represents one of the more sophisticated implementations of the system. With the capabilities of the LIMS and our related business processes, we see the opportunity to use these resources to address the City's current concerns and future aspirations.
Data Deliverables
Babcock Labs provides results in Adobe PDF, which contains a copy of the accompanying Chain of Custody. The COC is inserted into the report and is paginated along with the results and any other required documentation. These reports, along with any requested Electronic Data Deliverables (EDDs) are sent via email and are available for download from our secure client web portal ().
Babcock's Labs LIMS currently contains over one hundred commercially available EDD formats, including WaterTrax and those required for upload into the CA State Water Quality Database (California Laboratory Intake Portal - CLIP). We generate these EDDs on a daily basis for our drinking water clients and upload them directly to both WaterTrax and the State. Timeliness is important for WaterTrax functionality which is why Babcock Project Managers upload data promptly at the time client reports are generated. For microbiology, perchlorates and nitrates this means that in addition to alerts coming directly from Babcock regarding MCL exceedances, WaterTrax notification acts as a redundant safeguard for prompt notification.
Moreover, Babcock Labs is not limited to the formats contained in the LIMS provider's EDD library. We also maintain a custom EDD builder that can produce EDDs in almost any variety including CSV or other delimited formats (i.e., CLIP). These EDDs are flexible in nature, such that we can customize them to meet our client's unique or legacy database, up to and including incorporation of any valid value lists. This assures that the data we provide is consistent with the structure and content of our clients' systems and can therefore be used for comparison to 6 historical records. All EDDs and reports are generated from the exact same record set which prevents mismatches between the results presented in the hardcopy report and EDD.
Result Notification
As stated above, Babcock Labs provides paperless EDDs via email to our customers. (As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility waste reduction initiatives, hardcopies are only available upon request.) This same delivery system is also used to provide notifications to our clients regarding any result exceeding a prescribed amount. These amounts may be the State or Federal MCL for a drinking water parameter, such as nitrate, or a monitoring threshold unique to one of our client's locations. Once the initial results are approved, our LIMS compares the result to the trigger value and sends a message to the Babcock Labs Project Manager (PM), our client, or any other specified recipient. Babcock Lab's customary approach is to have this alert sent to the client's PM so that we can investigate the result internally. However, this notification can be configured in any manner and affords us the ability to provide almost immediate notification of a potential problem to our client. (Also see Data Deliverables discussion above).
Historical Data Consistency
As expected by the City, one of Babcock Labs' unique internal processes is a comparison of results to historical values for any given sample. When provided a consistent sample naming convention, our standard operating procedure for data review includes a comparison to the results we generate over time for any given sample. The LIMS allows us to evaluate the result against the historical average as well as the maximum and minimum results generated over time. If a value falls outside of this range, we often trigger and reanalysis automatically or, at minimum, contact our client to determine if there were any material changes in the distribution system or treatment process that might explain the departure from its typical value. In the absence of a definitive explanation, Babcock Labs will perform the reanalysis to confirm the data point in question.
Sample Handling and Custody via Barcoding
To assist the City with sample management, Babcock Labs proposes to import a listing of all of the City's sampling points and build a sampling schedule within our LIMS. From this point, we can generate pre-printed and barcode sample labels along with a Chain of Custody. This would limit the amount of writing required on the part of City employees and streamline the sample handling process. City staff will use Bluetooth-enabled barcode scanners to record sample descriptions where necessary and the laboratory will quickly and efficiently enter sample data upon sample receipt. This process has the added benefit of eliminating transcription errors and reducing the amount of time it takes to get the samples handed off to the laboratory for analysis.
Babcock Labs has experience with this advanced process, as we have provided a large client with sampling handling and custody via barcoding for over five years.
Beyond this immediate solution, Babcock welcomes the opportunity to partner with the City build an electronic Chain of Custody (e-COC) program with the City to have the City's needs in 7 mind. Several options already exist today but Babcock Labs does have some innovative ideas on the best route for implementation given the City's requirements and current data management system. Our approach would take advantage of the systems and capabilities that already exist for both parties, which would expedite the development effort. We have already taken steps to investigate these options and would be privileged to spearhead this effort should the City select us as its service provider. For more information, please see "Innovative Partnering Options and Other Services" in the Company Information section.
Company Information
LOCATION
Babcock Laboratories, Inc. is one of Riverside's oldest businesses, as its facilities have been located in the City of Riverside since the company was founded in 1906. Over the years the laboratory has grown and relocated within Riverside. For the past thirty years the primary laboratory facilities have been located at:
Babcock Laboratories, Inc.
6100 Quail Valley Court
Riverside, CA 92507
In 2004 Babcock Labs expanded its facilities to include an additional adjacent, custom-designed building that houses supplementary laboratories and a large conference room that is frequently used to provide Babcock Labs clients with technical trainings and seminars.
Distance
Babcock Laboratories is located 9.3 miles away from 2911 Adams Street, Riverside, CA 92504.
This distance translates to a 20-minute drive, without traffic. In fact, due to the close proximity of the Riverside Public Utilities location and the Laboratory, it is possible to travel via side roads instead of freeways, if necessary. To view Google Map directions, please see Appendix B.
Babcock Labs is the only commercial laboratory capable of performing the services requested in the City's contract that is located in the City of Riverside. Additionally, Babcock Labs' proximity to the Riverside Public Utilities facility and its various sampling sites provide the City with all the benefits of an in-house laboratory and field sampling team, without the additional costs of accrediting and operating an in-house lab. Moreover, this close proximity will ensure minimum transportation time from each sample pick-up location for field staff resulting in maximum efficiency and reliability (and a reduced carbon footprint).
