Quality & Compliance
Built-in quality tools for histopathology laboratories. Document control with version management, non-conformance and CAPA tracking, training records with competency management, and reagent lot tracking.
Document Control
Centralised document management for SOPs, work instructions, and laboratory policies. Full version control with review scheduling, author and approver tracking, and document event logging.
- Version Management - Full version history for every document. Each version tracked with version number and file path. Previous versions archived and accessible for audit.
- Review Scheduling - Set review dates and review types for each document. Track last review date, next review date, and audit dates to ensure documents stay current.
- Author & Approver Tracking - Record who authored and approved each document. Issue dates tracked for controlled release and distribution.
- SOP Signoff - Staff sign off on SOPs to confirm they have read and understood the document. Signoff dates recorded per user for compliance evidence.
Non-Conformance & CAPA
File and track non-conformances against cases with a structured corrective and preventative action (CAPA) workflow. Each error record captures severity, root cause analysis, and completion tracking.
- Error Filing - File non-conformances against specific cases with detailed descriptions, error source classification, and severity rating.
- Root Cause Analysis - Dedicated field for documenting the root cause of each non-conformance. Links error details to underlying systemic issues.
- Corrective & Preventative Actions - Separate fields for immediate corrective action, corrective action plan, and preventative action. Completion dates tracked for each.
- Error Log & Export - View and export the complete error log. Filter and review non-conformances with closure status tracking.
Training Records & Reagent Tracking
Maintain staff training records with course management, attendance tracking, and competency expiry dates. Track reagent lots, antibody vials, and safety data alongside your laboratory quality records.
- Training Course Management - Define training courses and categories. Schedule sessions with planned dates, locations, and descriptions. Track attendance per session.
- Training Matrix - Link training courses to job roles. View the training matrix to identify gaps and track completion status across your team.
- Reagent Lot Tracking - Record reagent supplier, lot number, CAS number, and expiry date. Track receipt dates and stock status for each reagent.
- Antibody Vial Management - Track individual antibody vials with lot number, vial number, receipt date, and expiry date for immunohistochemistry work.
