LIMS Water Dating Lab Information Management System
The LIMS Water Dating Lab Information System contains sample submission information for tritium, CFC, SF6, radon, stable isotope, and C14 samples submitted to the Water Dating Lab. The LIMS records data on sample processes and pretreatment. Once the results have been checked and pass QC then these results are uploaded to the LIMS masterlist. The database creates results reports as the user requests. The results are reported by email to commercial clients. invoicing is independent of the database, however invoice numbers are recorded in the database for reference.
The Water Dating Lab manages the digital databases, paper records and physical remains of submitted materials.

- Statement
-
At the end of the second world war, the New Zealand Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) established a small research team to explore the rapidly growing field of atomic science. This was the beginning of the Isotope Laboratory, led by Athol Rafter and Gordon Fergusson and attached to the Dominion Physical Laboratory. In 1957 the Isotope Laboratory was made into a separate division of the DSIR with Athol Rafter as Director, becoming the Institute of Nuclear Sciences (INS) in 1959.
In this period tritium and mass spectrometry facilities were also established, and research began into stable isotopes in the environment, with a special emphasis on geothermal research.
In 1991 the old DSIR was dissolved, and the various divisions were organised into ten Crown Research Institutes (CRI). In this process, the Institute of Nuclear Sciences was joined with the earth science components of the DSIR to become the Institute of GNS Science.
