Requirements
Quality verification plays an important part in analytical laboratories. Depending on the framework strict requirements are placed upon instruments and control types as well as personnel training. All this leads to more administration expenses, which can be reduced by using intelligent computer programs.
Solution
Modules of instrument log plans and control types are optional for LABS/Q®. Flexible configuration of LABS/Q® allows you to map an ideal workflow which takes into consideration legal requirements as well as long-term and short-term objectives. The customer can choose between strict adherences to instrument monitoring by outside regulations, servicing requests for inspection schedules up to a freely user-defined control of monitoring. Together with a training administration which also is freely configurable and the classification of methods to a trained user LABS/Q® supports the user in all administrative and document tasks.
Functional Range
Module of analytical equipment and instrument configuration
Standard LABS/Q® allows you to manage several instruments like a HPLC with its independent components (injector, pump and detector) via the module of instruments. Control type batches and eluents can be listed. You can state which methods are permissible under a specific configuration. A maintenance interval together with maintenance regulations can be lodged for each instrument. Results of the maintenance check or a repair can be stored in this module as well. Additionally you can determine for each configuration the log plan for a system suitability test, a calibration or a system qualification. This can be done based on events (e.g. configuration change), appointed time (e.g. every 12 hours) or operation interval (after 20 operations). At any time it is transparent to the user which test under which configuration at what time and with what result has been performed.
Control types and their batches
Testing or monitoring usually involves materials which can be just used during a limited time. These may be calibration standards or system suitability tests or chemicals like eluents. LABS/Q® offers corresponding modules to manage these materials according to their attributes and dates of expiry.
Control of instruments and control types
The user can set up instrumental log plans either manually or automatically for supervision. They are based on the configuration as well as the log plan templates. Depending on the configuration a processing of different samples with the instrument to be tested is rejected. After finishing the instrumental log plan the authorised user can decide for how many tests the instrument can be used and for how long.
Reporting / Evaluation
Evaluations or reports for an instrument can automatically or manually be generated and distributed. LABS/Q® generates several report masters with graphical details as a standard. Further statistical and graphical evaluations can be done in LABS Graphic.
