Primary reference standards (pharmacopoeial — IP, BP, USP, EP), secondary reference standards, in-house working reference standards, and impurity reference standards.

Procurement details, source information, assay values, certificate of analysis, and lot details are registered upon receipt creating the foundation for controlled reference standard management.

Each issuance from a reference standard lot is tracked to the specific container (vial/ampule) level, with quantity issued, date, analyst, and purpose recorded for complete consumption traceability.

Expiry dates are registered from the certificate of analysis. Automated notifications are sent before expiry, and expired standards are automatically restricted from further issuance.

Lot certificates are uploaded and linked to the reference standard record, with expiry tracking and renewal notifications ensuring current certificates are always available.

Stock solution preparation from reference standard lots is recorded within the module with quantities, concentrations, and expiry dates linked to the parent reference standard record.

Yes. Multiple active lots of the same reference standard can be managed concurrently, with separate status, expiry, and issuance tracking for each lot.

Formal termination workflows with documented justification and approval are required before a reference standard lot is closed ensuring complete and accurate stock records.

Complete traceability from receipt through every issuance to final termination is maintained linking each analytical result to the specific reference standard lot and container used.

Reports include reference standard master, index, usage history, stock card, destroy lot and vial quantity records, and stock solution usage reports.
