Materials analytical review and reporting system

Abstract

A computer-implemented analytical and reporting system includes an input device, a database and a processor. The input device is operative for inputting analytical data results of a test sample. The database includes an analysis methodology data section, an instrument data section and a forms data section. The processor is operative for receiving from the input device the analytical data results of the test sample. The processor is also operative for receiving from the database analysis methodology data of at least one analysis method, instrument data of at least one analytical instrument and forms data of a desired analytical report form. The processor is also operative for processing the analytical data results and the instrument data using the analysis methodology data and is operative for generating an analytical report produced on the desired analytical report form depicting final analytical results based on the analysis method and the analytical instrument.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A computer-implemented analytical and reporting system for a test sample, the system comprising: 
 input means operative for inputting analytical data results of the test sample;    a database including an analysis methodology data section, an instrument data section and a forms data section, the analysis methodology data section including analysis methodology data for conducting at least one analysis method, the instrument data section including instrument data for modeling at least one analytical instrument, the forms data section including forms data for providing a desired one of a plurality of analytical report forms; and    a processor operative for receiving, from the input means, the analytical data results of the test sample and receiving, from the database, the analysis methodology data of the at least one analysis method, the instrument data of at least one analytical instrument and the forms data of the desired analytical report form, for processing the analytical data results and instrument data using the analysis methodology data and for generating an analytical report produced on the desired one of the analytical report forms depicting final analytical results based on the at least one analysis method and the at least one analytical instrument.
