Consumables Inventory Management System
Compliant Workflow, Documentation and Management for ALL Laboratory Consumables
In all laboratories a common and routine task is the purchase, storage, preparation and control of chemical reagents, standards, HPLC columns and other routine use items for laboratory method/procedure execution. In a compliant environment (cGLP/cGMP), the documentation of important metadata concerning the reagents and materials is critical for proper control of the preparation process and assurance of proper procedural completeness and accuracy. Key issues such as manufacturer, purchase date, quantity, expiration date and minimum inventory needs are needed to effectively manage the operations. Today, the traditional process is "paper-based" using logbooks and forms that often require time consuming reviews and approvals by peers or supervisors. In a paper-based environment, the consumable materials management is subject to resource training and compliance with standard operating procedures that is often difficult to monitor with assured compliance.
Best Practice Digital Record Keeping - NO MORE PAPER LOG BOOKS
SmartLab CIMS automates the checking-in and out of critical chemicals, standards, working test method reagents, pipettes and HPLC columns by presenting an electronic-based workflow that captures all relevant usage with full audit trails and management reporting. The workstation configuration provides a set of web-based instructions to authorized analysts on a touch screen PC, and offers a fully electronic means of executing the work instructions and capturing and cataloguing all of the data and metadata as the material is added to the inventory and used in operations – in real time. The workstation integrates directly with your balance and pH meter to provide real-time data capture during reagent preparation - with all work instructions provided on screen. The SmartLab CIMSplus Freedom Worksation is fully compliant with 21CFR Part 11 requirements for electronic records and conveniently logs all the data in a database (Oracle) as the operational prep procedure takes place.
Stand-Alone Lab System for Your Department or Seamlessly Integrated with the SmartLab GMP Lab Execution System/ELN
The SmartLab CIMSplus Freedom Worksation can stand-alone as a benchtop departmental lab inventory management system or in concert with the SmartLab GMP Lab Excecution System and Electronic Notebook for timely and accurate chemicals, reagent and other consumables metadata documentation. Actual usage of the consumables is updated in real-time with any user updates/modifications to the consumable (reagent, standard, mobile phase, etc.) reported back to the inventory database – again, in real-time.
Since all the data and metadata is captured in a database, documentation reports are easily prepared for supervisory review. The system has a user defined set of report "widgets" to provide real-time graphical and tabular reports on the status of your inventory. Supervisors and managers can have a quick real-time snapshot of all the materials in the lab and plan accordingly.
Typical materials requiring management include:
Label and Bar Code Compatibility
All chemical, reagent and other lab consumables information is communicated via a bar code labeler and reader for proper tagging of consumables for use by the analysts during their routine preparation and usage. This capability can link directly with VelQuest's SmartLab GMP Lab Execution System/ELN and will insert the reagent preparation data into the metadata fields for procedure/method execution and documentation. This process assures accurate and automated documentation of the consumables "pedigree" during its entire lifecycle in the lab.
The SmartLab CIMSplus Freedom Workstation is delivered with the following components:
