Bika Tribos inherits the intuitive and robust Inkosi LIMS 2 functionality and adds functions inherent to the tribology discipline, most importantly results interpretation using industry standard diagnostics

The design documentation can be found here:

• Tribology functionality
  
• Tribos 1 Full specification

Topics covered include:

• Sample Sources and Sample points - Sample sources are reshaped to describe typical Sources like transformers or engines, each containing multiple Sample Points. AR profiles are expanded to include easy analysis requesting per Sample Source, ditto for results reports

• Clients and Owners - Lab Clients don't necessarily own Sample Sources, which might change ownership and location from time to time
  

• Calculated and dependent analysis results unique to tribology

• Analysis Specifications per Diagnostic Specification, e.g. any of SNAS, IEC, IEEE, ASTM, IEC, IEEE, ASTM, Dunenburg, UC or Duval

• Diagnostic interpretation itself to provide advice to the client for maintenance on the Sample Source using 'Causes and reasons' rules

• Gas Chromatograph interfaces from TCD and FID detectors

• Some general LIMS items, like using Sub-contractors and batching Samples per Client order are also included
