Run the test.See the limit.Review the result.

Sample plans list the tests, approved methods and limits for each material or product.

Supplier CoA values can be read into the QC record by AI for a person to check.

Methods and work cards are kept as controlled lab records.

AI CoA extraction

Pulls specification values from supplier PDFs into the QC record for review. Professional and Enterprise.

Work cards and protocols

Lab work cards, protocols and the lab logbook sit with methods and samples.

Approved methods, sample data and lab configuration are needed before testing is recorded in V5.

Each received lot

Methods

Approved versions only

Approved methods and limits come from your lab set-up.

A sample is requested against the lot it came from, so every result belongs to that lot.

Who took it, when, and when it reached the lab are recorded.

Requested tests land in the lab queue for analysts.

Queues

Analysts pick up the next test from the queue for their area.

Quarantine

The lot stays unavailable until a person releases it.

Lab & QC is Enterprise.

The result will belong to this lot.

Analysts record each result against the approved method and limit.

A correction keeps the original value with who, when and why.

Instruments carry their calibration status; out-of-calibration devices can be blocked where configured.

Calibration

Instrument schedules, tolerance checks and certificates are in every plan.

ELN

An electronic lab notebook for method development and R&D is Enterprise.

Instrument and data-system connections are not claimed here; discuss your instruments with us.

A result outside its limit is shown against that limit.

The OOS workflow keeps the original result and follows your laboratory procedure.

Link a deviation, a supplier corrective action or a hold as your procedure requires.

People decide the investigation outcome. V5 never passes or rejects a result on its own.

SPC and stability

Method-specific SPC views with Westgard rules, and stability schedules. Statistical interpretation and study decisions need qualified review.

Escalation

Lab SPC can escalate an out-of-trend or OOS signal to the right people; what they do is their decision.

OOS workflow is part of Lab & QC (Enterprise). Linked deviations and supplier portal are Professional and Enterprise.

QC manager

Nothing is retested, passed or rejected without a person.

A second person reviews and signs, as your lab procedure requires.

Reviewed results are inputs to the release review and to certificates of analysis.

Supplier results feed supplier scorecards from your own data.

Certificates of analysis

Lab reports provide inputs for certificates; a person issues them.

Validation

V5 keeps records and signatures; your lab validates its methods and the system for its intended use.

Electronic signatures and certificate reports are Professional and Enterprise; lab review itself needs Enterprise.
