Abstract:
A system and methods for more quickly, accurately, and efficiently collecting, tracking, and transmitting sample collection data and information. Specifically, this involves the generation of printed labels in the field comprising labels with unique identifiers corresponding to specific sample collection data and information. The labels are printed at the location of the sampling and are applied on the outside of sample collection devices and at the location of sample collection. Each unique identifier is associated with a unique record number in the Electronic Chain of Custody (ECOC), corresponding to a specific sample.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for managing collection data and/or information corresponding to at least one environmental sample using a mobile software application configured to operate on a mobile computing device, the method comprising:\n (i) providing at least one sample collection device; (ii) accessing the mobile software application on the mobile computing device; (iii) receiving a set of pre-configured instructions from the mobile software application for processing and analyzing field data at a site, wherein the field data comprises a plurality of parameters; (iv) processing and analyzing the field data at the site; (v) transmitting a signal to the mobile computing device based on the values of the plurality of parameters in the processed and analyzed field data, wherein the signal comprises instructions for when to collect the environmental sample, where to collect the environmental sample within the site, and the type of the environmental sample to collect; (vi) collecting the environmental sample at the site; (vii) printing a first label at the site corresponding to the sample collection device and a second label at the site corresponding to a location of sample collection, wherein the first label includes a first unique identifier and the second label includes a second unique identifier, wherein the first unique identifier and the second unique identifier are both associated with the environmental sample; (viii) affixing the first label to the sample collection device and placing the second label at the site; (ix) transmitting an electronic chain of custody corresponding to the environmental sample to a computing system located remote from the site prior to delivering the sample collection device to the computing system; and (x) scanning the first unique identifier on the sample collection device to populate the collection data and/or information corresponding to the environmental sample and the electronic chain of custody in the computing system.
