Confience Brings myLIMS to AWWA Water Quality Technology Conference 2026, Showcasing an Intuitive LIMS Purpose-Built for Water Quality Labs

Water and environmental lab leaders can see how myLIMS eliminates manual reporting, connects lab processes, and keeps utilities audit-ready. Visit us at Booth #206, November 16–17 in Memphis

Raleigh, North Carolina - November 03, 2026 — Confience, a provider of laboratory information management systems (LIMS) for regulated laboratories, today announced it will exhibit at the American Water Works Association's Water Quality Technology Conference (WQTC) 2026, held November 15–19 at the Renasant Convention Center in Memphis, Tennessee. The Confience team will be on the exhibit floor November 16–17, giving live demonstrations of myLIMS, its modern LIMS platform built for the laboratory professionals who protect the quality of the water we drink.

Water quality laboratories carry outsized responsibility with lean teams. Manual reporting consumes hours that small labs don't have, audit preparation is too often reactive and stressful, and aging systems are costly to maintain and risky to replace. Meanwhile, demands keep rising, from PFAS and lead and copper requirements to emerging contaminants. Public trust depends on data that is consistent, defensible, and available the moment it is needed.

myLIMS was built to change that. Confience helps water and environmental labs operate with speed, consistency, and confidence in three ways:

• Eliminate manual and tedious work. Automated workflows replace spreadsheet data entry, rework, and report formatting, so small teams can meet big compliance demands without overburdening, allowing them to focus on the critical testing that protects their communities.

• Connect lab systems and processes. Standardized workflows and connected instruments reduce variability, delivering consistent, defensible results with complete confidence.

• Gain complete traceability. Every sample, result, and change is recorded and instantly accessible, so labs stay continuously audit-ready and can answer regulators, utility leadership, and the public with trustworthy data.

What sets myLIMS apart for water quality labs:

• Intuitive to configure, practical to maintain, and built to scale. Labs adapt workflows themselves, without heavy IT involvement or costly reimplementation. This serves as an advantage for utilities and environmental labs with limited IT resources.

• One transparent, predictable price. Everything a lab needs is included, with no surprise costs after implementation. Simple to buy, simple to budget, and well suited to public sector budgeting cycles.

• A platform that evolves with you. myLIMS is guided by teams who understand environmental compliance and keeps pace as regulatory demands change, so labs don't outgrow their system when the rules do.

The results are measurable. Biolaqua Ambiental, an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited environmental laboratory that analyzes drinking water, surface water, and effluents, moved from Excel and Word-based reporting to myLIMS. The lab cut potability report turnaround from 10 days to 5, reduced average analysis time by about 50%, lowered paper consumption by 80%, and increased collection and analysis capacity by 30% without adding staff.

"Water labs don't struggle because their science isn't strong. They struggle because manual work, disconnected processes, and fragile data slow everything down," said Patrick Quinlan, CEO of Confience. "myLIMS gives water quality professionals a complete, secure, and flexible platform that is intuitive enough for lean teams to manage, connects lab processes to support defensible results, and evolves as regulations change.

"WQTC brings together the professionals who protect water quality every day. We look forward to showing them how myLIMS can help their labs meet that responsibility."

WQTC attendees can visit Confience at Booth #206 on November 16–17 for a live myLIMS demonstration, or schedule a meeting with the team in advance. WQTC is one of the largest specialty conferences in the world, convening water quality specialists, treatment plant managers, laboratory professionals, researchers, regulators, and utility leaders.
