Abstract: Methods and arrangements for collecting data related to a water quality sample location. Identifying information of a water quality sample container is electronically obtained, and identifying information of a water quality sample location is electronically obtained. There is placed, in the container, a water sample from the water quality sample location. There is stored the identifying information of the water quality sample container and the identifying information of the water quality sample location; such storing includes associating the identifying information of the water quality sample container and the identifying information of the water quality sample location. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein, including methods and arrangements for validating water quality sample data.

Abstract: A liquid analysis system for a photometric determination of an analyte in a liquid sample includes an analyzer comprising a photometer, an RFID parameter reading device and an identifier reading device, and a cuvette package comprising an RFID parameter transponder and a plurality of test cuvettes of one batch. Each test cuvette comprises a reagent. Batch identification and batch-specific reagent data are stored in the RFID parameter transponder. Each test cuvette comprises a batch-specific identifier including a batch identification. The batch identification is configured to be read by the identifier reading device.

Abstract: A method for locating an optical identification on a cuvette includes providing a cuvette comprising an axial locating bar with a fixed bar width with a fixed geometric relationship with an identification. A laboratory analyzer is provided comprising a cuvette chamber, a cuvette rotating device, and a digital camera with an axial resolution of more than 10 lines. The digital camera is associated with the cuvette chamber. At least four respective non-adjacent lines of the digital camera are read in. The identification is searched for. If at least three mutually successive read-in lines comprising approximately axially in-line reflection signals of the axial locating bar with the fixed bar width are registered, the cuvette is rotated by an angle corresponding to the fixed geometric relationship so that identification is aligned with the digital camera. The identification is read in by reading out a plurality of adjacent lines of the digital camera.
