Routine Analytical Quality Control is Improved with AqcTools Software.

CSols laboratory informatics solutions enables its clients to reduce laboratory costs and turnaround times. It also improves results quality and increases analytical throughput to meet or exceed regulatory requirements. CSols laboratory informatics solutions improve remote sampling and tracking of chain of custody with excellent audit control. It simplifies environmental compliance management and improves analytical performance using our industry leading AqcTools software.

The most effective way of monitoring an instrument’s performance is to regularly use Analytical Quality Control (AQC) samples with independently verified or known results. Once placed in an instrument AQCs are run at regular intervals and they can be used to flag discrete changes in instrument performance leading to over or under reporting of result values. Whilst simple flagging against a target value is straightforward, the tools used to identify trends use specific statistical calculations and chart types.

AqcTools lets Quality Managers and analysts perform charting of AQCs and statistical analysis:

• as soon as each instrument run is complete, so that the AQCs can be correctly evaluated before releasing all results
• on the instrument workstation so there is no need to export and carry the AQC results to a separate workstation or use Excel
• easily without having to navigate functions not relevant to the AQC analysis
• record all data as well as any decisions taken during the interpretation for auditing and for further analysis.
