Spectrum LIMS
Spectrum LIMS is an FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant software solution which supports a Laboratory’s analytical and resource management needs, whilst monitoring compliance requirements.
Spectrum LIMS is focussed on optimizing laboratory performance and time and resource management. Optimization helps increase the laboratory’s throughput, saves cost and enhances customer satisfaction.
The benefits of Spectrum LIMS include, but are not limited to, internal and external compliance, continuous improvement, resource optimization, cost efficiency, knowledge management, efficient time management, error minimization, and easy access to all quality–related information
Spectrum can easily process multiple types of samples, and can undertake various calculations or processes on each one. Sample testing can be grouped or performed individually as required. These groups can be by type of test (e.g. microbiological, toxic etc.) or by type of sample (e.g. Raw material, Finished Good, Water etc.). Spectrum LIMS also prompts for revalidation and repeat samples. The complete information of a sample is kept in Spectrum LIMS like sampling info, receipt info etc.
Testing protocols (Tests & Limits) for a group of sample can be defined into Spectrum LIMS – samples received for testing follow the rules defined within its group.
Multiple methods to conduct a test can be established in Spectrum LIMS, allowing the user to perform every test as per the requirements, keeping the results together under one particular test.
In addition to the passing limit, Spectrum LIMS supports action/target and other limits to facilitate test behaviour monitoring.
Simple and complex result calculating formulae can be defined into Spectrum LIMS, making it easy for the user to calculate final results from raw data. In addition to the final results, Spectrum LIMS maintains the original raw data to facilitate further analysis and decision making. Spectrum LIMS also manages repeat test results, providing a full history of tests and results on every sample.
The work list assignment in Spectrum LIMS helps in the time and resource management of a lab by distributing the testing work load to different analysts on individual test level at the time of sample receipt.
Raw data and test results can be transferred directly through “instruments interfacing”, or entered manually into Spectrum. Spectrum LIMS provides a fast and convenient approach to enter results manually.
Decision by an authorized user is required to complete and close the testing of each sample. Spectrum LIMS provides the complete details of the sample to the decision-maker within the solution, at the point of decision.
Investigation details, and any other further information, can be maintained in Spectrum LIMS for each sample, for knowledge management and audit purposes.
Spectrum LIMS provides a wide variety of data outputs, ranging from simple listings, to analytical reports, to complex decision-making reports. It also generates historical data to monitor trend analysis, sample behaviours, supplier performance, analyst performance and compilation of periodic reviews.
Spectrum LIMS has a comprehensive reporting and analysis tool set, to provide different views of the data through graphical presentations, trend analysis, and real-time reporting.
The dashboard facility in Spectrum LIMS provides senor management with a comprehensive view of all the relevant operational performance at a glance to support key decision-making.
Spectrum LIMS has an integrated SPC tool to facilitate understanding of the processes involved in manufacturing and product development. |
