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

Reviewed results feed the certificate and release
Laboratory reports provide inputs for a certificate of analysis; release of the lot is still a person's decision.

You searched LIMS software because the lab spreadsheet is breaking.
Sample requests arrive on paper slips and in email
Results are written on worksheets and copied into a spreadsheet
Second-person review is initials on paper, days later
Quality asks the lab by email whether a lot's testing is done
Certificate values are re-typed from worksheets
Corrections are crossed out and the original is hard to read
What the V5 laboratory workspace covers.
Sample plans and requests
Sample plans list the tests, approved methods and limits; samples are requested against the lot they came from.
Lab Queues and Results
Analysts work from lab queues and record results against the method and limit. Approved methods, sample data and lab configuration are needed first.
Review and audit history
Second-person review is signed on the record under your lab procedure; corrections keep the earlier value in the audit history.
Results Outside the Limit
The original result stays on the record; checks, investigation and retest follow your laboratory procedure.
Inputs for Certificates of Analysis
Laboratory reports provide inputs for certificates of analysis; your quality team issues certificates and releases lots.
SPC, Stability and Lab Records
Method-specific SPC views, stability studies, a laboratory logbook and work cards sit in the lab workspace; interpretation and study decisions need qualified review. Instrument connections are discussed with you, not claimed here.
What changes in the way the lab works.
- Results are recorded once, against the sample, method and limit
- Review is signed on the record instead of initialled on paper
- Quality sees reviewed results with the lot before the release review
- Corrections keep the original value, who changed it and why
- Lab work sits in the same system as production and quality records
See the ISO/IEC 17025 view — scope, method validation and measurement uncertainty in one system.
LIMS software, answered.
Is V5 a full LIMS?
V5 includes laboratory information management: sample plans, requests, queues, results, lab reports and inputs for certificates of analysis, plus SPC, stability and lab records. Which of your lab processes it covers is confirmed with you.
Which instruments integrate?
Instrument and data-system connections are not claimed on this page. Tell us which instruments you use and we will discuss what is possible.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on your methods, sample plans and configuration. We agree a plan with you rather than quote a typical time.
Capabilities vary by plan and setup. Confirm specifics with our team before relying on them.
Give the lab one reviewed record, from sample to certificate input.
