Save Thousands of Hours Per Year and Speed up Sample Throughput by Automating Your Food & Beverage Lab
Track Many Types of Food or Beverage Samples
QBench is applicable in many food and beverage testing laboratory environments. The configurable nature of QBench helps in collecting metadata from samples. Users can also configure QBench based on testing requirements for varying sample types. Data per sample can even include label claims or other testing specifications. QBench can track sample types such as food, supplements, beverages, produce, packaged food, feed, and more. Sample accessioning (ID generation) in QBench prevents costly mix-ups when performing testing. QBench users can identify samples and print bar-codes for easy sample retrieval. Samples in QBench can also integrate with state track-and-trace systems for streamlined reporting.
Great for Internal Quality Control or 3rd Party Testing
Food testing laboratories across several disciplines use QBench and its powerful features. Labs may be performing microbiological analyses, PCR testing, analytical chemistry, etc. and may have different needs when dealing data and the volume of data. Whether the testing data informs third party food processors/manufacturers, is being performed as internal quality control testing (QC), or even if the testing data will be used for R&D, QBench has the functionality to make the standard lab workflow more efficient. Labs can log internal and external samples (even from an ERP system), assign the required analyses, track testing progress, manage and enter data, and send results to customers. Technicians can track their work and managers can set up a personalized high-level view to keep track of laboratory workflow. Customers can access their results and track testing progress using the QBench customer portal.
Integrate Instruments Common to Food & Beverage Testing
QBench also supports instrument integration -- both analytical and liquid handling. QBench supports analytical instrumentation for synchronization of hundreds of data points. QBench also supports liquid handling equipment for facilitation of plate map tracking. The QBench team approaches every customer with dedicated attention ensuring successful instrument implementation.
Easily Earn and Maintain ISO 17025 Certification
Most labs in the food industry must be ISO 17025 accredited. QBench meets the requirements set forth in the new standard (ISO 17025:2017), which now includes a section specifically relating to LIMS requirements.
Rapidly Get Value from Your LIMS with a Fast Implementation
QBench's depth of administrator settings, ease of configuration, and flexibility to adapt to your workflows allows you to get up and running much faster than other LIMS. No-code tools allow you to do more yourself and easily edit workflows on the fly. While other LIMS can take 6-12 months and involve painful amounts of custom coding, QBench can often be configured and have workflows live in a few weeks.
