Frequently asked questions
Pharma is committed to helping you access trusted lab and pharmacy solutions, with expert help at every step of the way.
What types of reference standards can be managed in the module?
Primary reference standards (pharmacopoeial — IP, BP, USP, EP), secondary reference standards, in-house working reference standards, and impurity reference standards.
How does the system manage reference standard procurement and receipt?
Procurement details, source information, assay values, certificate of analysis, and lot details are registered upon receipt creating the foundation for controlled reference standard management.
How is container-level issuance tracking managed?
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.
How are reference standard expiry dates managed?
Expiry dates are registered from the certificate of analysis. Automated notifications are sent before expiry, and expired standards are automatically restricted from further issuance.
How does the module manage lot certificates for pharmacopoeial reference standards?
Lot certificates are uploaded and linked to the reference standard record, with expiry tracking and renewal notifications ensuring current certificates are always available.
How does the system support stock solution preparation from reference standards?
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.
Can multiple lots of the same reference standard be managed simultaneously?
Yes. Multiple active lots of the same reference standard can be managed concurrently, with separate status, expiry, and issuance tracking for each lot.
How are depleted or expired reference standards terminated?
Formal termination workflows with documented justification and approval are required before a reference standard lot is closed ensuring complete and accurate stock records.
What traceability does the module provide for reference standard usage?
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.
What reports are available for reference standard management?
Reports include reference standard master, index, usage history, stock card, destroy lot and vial quantity records, and stock solution usage reports.
