Florida DEP Publishes Revised MDLs and PQLs



The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has published a revised list of method detection limit (MDL) and practical quantitation limit (PQL) targets for selected analytes and methods. The list has been updated to conform with the current 136.3 approved method lists, and the list of analytes in rule 62-302.530,  (Surface Water Quality Criteria). New information for the listings also includes: 1) groupings of analytes by categories; and, 2) designation of those analytical techniques that may not be amenable to determining MDLs using the EPA procedure published at Part 136, Appendix B.

Introducing FlashPoint….
Khemia’s LIMS System Integration  

Khemia’s
Software web portal for the Omega LIMS offers a laboratory’s clients immediate
access to results, documents, credentials and reports, historical data and
invoices.  Data may be swept from the
LIMS into FlashPoint automatically, thereby allowing for real-time, 24/7 access
to data and improved client satisfaction. 

FlashPoint
integrates seamlessly into any corporate website or existing client
portal.  To allow a client access to FlashPoint,
the laboratory will simply provide a client with the proper login and password
credentials.  FlashPoint also provides
email alerts for notifications on sample receipt and completion of analyses may
be set. 

FlashPoint
also allows clients to send request to project managers for sampling supplies
and technical support. 

FlashPoint administration and client access

FlashPoint work order details with sample and test information, an invoice download, and a customer service message field.

The FlashPoint module is a powerful feature of our Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). It allows labs to control branding, manage access, improve compliance, and track user behavior from one centralized interface.

Add Your Branding

With FlashPoint, you can upload your company logo and apply custom branding across your system. This ensures consistency across client reports, dashboards, and portals.

You can also personalize headers, footers, and other display elements. Your LIMS environment will reflect your professional identity at every touchpoint.

Customize Language and Disclaimers

The module lets you edit and apply custom legal language and disclaimers. This is useful for labs operating under regulatory frameworks such as ISO 17025, EPA, or HIPAA.

You can tailor certifications, report disclaimers, and test result explanations according to your lab’s needs.

Control What Clients See

FlashPoint gives you full control over the client experience. You decide which data is visible to clients through their portals.

This includes test results, documents, sample statuses, and notes. You can create role-based access levels, limit views by location, and protect sensitive information.

Track User Activity

The module includes a detailed user activity tracking system. Every action is logged—logins, downloads, changes to records, and more.

This helps labs meet audit requirements and enforce internal quality controls. If something goes wrong, you’ll have a clear trail of accountability.

Advanced Admin Controls

FlashPoint supports workflow automation, permission management, and user role configuration. You can define access rules across departments or multiple lab locations.

This improves internal control and ensures your LIMS system scales with your operations.

Multilingual Support

For labs serving global or diverse regions, FlashPoint offers multi-language support. You can display the interface in multiple languages and localize reports for different clients.

This boosts accessibility and improves communication with international partners or customers.

Enhance the Client Experience

You can also send custom email alerts, generate branded invoices, and apply dynamic disclaimers based on test type or client category.

These features help improve client trust and strengthen your lab’s professional image.
