Why ADaPT?

Introduction

Microsoft Access application for automated data review

Commercial equivalent of USACE’s

Automated Data Review (ADR) software

ADaPT Automated Data Processing Tool

FL ADaPT is a computer application that processes Electronic Data Deliverables (EDDs)

based on field elements defined by the Florida DEP •Laboratory Data Deliverable, (LDD)

– (includes Lab data with QC and Error check)

•Program specific - Laboratory Receipt Deliverable– (includes Lab Receipt and some Field information)

•Program specific - Field EDD (FDD)– (includes field methods and Error check)

FL ADaPT

ADaPT performs an error check for correctness, and completeness of the edds.

ADaPT includes a technical consistency utility that performs the following cross and reversal checks: nutrients, total vs. dissolved, charge balance calculation, major ions vs. conductivity, TDS vs. conductivity, and analyzed TDS vs. calculated TDS.

FL ADaPT

FL ADaPT

ADaPT performs a data review on the Laboratory Data Deliverable (LDD) that measures the integrity of sample results against associated laboratory quality control, holding times, and method detection limits.

FL ADaPT

ALLOWS FOR PROFESSIONAL JUDGEMENT

The Automated Data Review evaluates the FL ADaPT LDD and applies Validator’s data review qualifiers to sample results based on laboratory quality control results reported in LDD and project specific data review criteria specified in a project library, (Electronic QAPP).

Implementation Challenges

• Stakeholders buy-in – Regulators, Laboratories, Consultants.

• Laboratories– Most of the work, LIMS conformance/translations,

learning curve, misconceptions, window looking into lab’s world.

• Consultants– Misconceptions, learning curve, eye opener.

• Regulators– We have always done this way, eye opener.

• Implemented in stages, giving labs time to comply.• Successful implementation helped labs optimize

and correct procedures.• Training and technical support offered to labs and

Data Users.• Consultants, regulators become familiar with

method requirements, regulations.• Consistent naming conventions.• Consistent edd submittals.• Validated (Level II) data in databases.

• Receiving the Data• Validating the Data• Delivering the Data

Is it easier?

YES!!!!!!!

Most of the manual Level II Data Validation is done by ADaPT

Naming Conventions, Methods, Units, Analytes, Project Requirements, Holding Times, Qualifiers, Method QC Requirements, MDLs/PQLs, Certified Lab ID, Dilutions, Sampling Dates, Lab Received Dates, Batch IDs, Consistency, Field methods, Comparison Reports, etc.

Summary

The laboratory has met the requirements of the project. Level II QC is reported electronically with sample results. Awareness of QC requirements. Technical/balance review (Total vs. Dissolved, etc.) Evaluates sample results based on linked QC results reported in

the EDD. Able to control naming conventions (analytes etc.) and keep

consistent in data base. Able to check if all the methods and analytes were reported for the

project. Applies validator’s qualifiers. Reduces data review costs. Able to pdf. or email ADaPT generated reports Regulatory Comparison reports. Transfers final reviewed data to database. Paperless.
