ADaPT
Automated Data Processing Tool
Microsoft Access application for automated data review
Commercial equivalent of USACE’s
Automated Data Review (ADR) software
FL ADaPT
FL ADaPT is a computer application that processes
Electronic Data Deliverables (EDDs)
based on field elements defined by the Florida DEP
•Laboratory Data Deliverable, (LDD)
– (includes Lab data with QC and Error check)
•Program specific - Laboratory Receipt Deliverable
– (includes Lab Receipt and some Field information)
•Program specific - Field EDD (FDD)
– (includes field methods and Error check)
FL ADaPT
ADaPT performs an error check for correctness,
and completeness of the edds.
ADaPT includes a technical consistency utility that
performs the following cross and reversal checks:
nutrients, total vs. dissolved, charge balance
calculation, major ions vs. conductivity, TDS vs.
conductivity, and analyzed TDS vs. calculated TDS.
FL ADaPT
ADaPT performs a data review on the Laboratory Data
Deliverable (LDD) that measures the integrity of sample
results against associated laboratory quality control, holding
times, and method detection limits.
FL ADaPT
The Automated Data Review evaluates the FL
ADaPT LDD and applies Validator’s data review
qualifiers to sample results based on laboratory
quality control results reported in LDD and project
specific data review criteria specified in a project
library, (Electronic QAPP).

Implementation Challenges
• Stakeholders buy-in
– Regulators, Laboratories, Consultants.
• Laboratories
– Most of the work, LIMS conformance/translations,
learning curve, misconceptions, window looking into
lab’s world.
• Consultants
– Misconceptions, learning curve, eye opener.
• Regulators
– We have always done this way, eye opener.
Implementation Successes
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Implemented in stages, giving labs time to comply.
Successful implementation helped labs optimize
and correct procedures.
Training and technical support offered to labs and
Data Users.
Consultants, regulators become familiar with
method requirements, regulations.
Consistent naming conventions.
Consistent edd submittals.
Validated (Level II) data in databases.

Is it easier?
YES!!!!!!!
Most of the manual Level II Data Validation
is done by ADaPT
Naming Conventions, Methods, Units, Analytes, Project
Requirements, Holding Times, Qualifiers, Method QC
Requirements, MDLs/PQLs, Certified Lab ID, Dilutions,
Sampling Dates, Lab Received Dates, Batch IDs,
Consistency, Field methods, Comparison Reports, etc.
