Two Fold Software Qualoupe LIMS software with materials management capability

An enhanced materials manager capability has been introduced to Two Fold Software’s Qualoupe LIMS solution which enables users to easily define the variety of materials that they test in their organisation.

The materials manager application allows manufacturers to manage data relating to raw materials, finished products and intermediate products. For a commercial contract laboratory the software improves the handling of data from routine samples sent to them for testing. Many laboratories call these ‘specifications’ because they like to define what tests are performed when testing samples of a certain material type, and what acceptable limits are applicable to ensure the material meets the necessary specification.

The materials manager capability ensures that there is only one material record that lists all the required specifications within the record. It also addresses another need relating to multiple specifications which occurs where a product is sold to multiple customers who require different limits and different Certificate of Analysis (COA) formats. To simplify the process, multiple customers can be linked to any of the specifications attached to the material.

When processing batches or single samples for a specific material, the user can select the specification to be used for processing that batch or single sample.
