How it works
A typical qc labs workflow in Aliquora
- 1
Log the sample
Register incoming raw materials, in-process pulls, or finished-product lots with a unique sample ID, collection date, and material type. Attach any relevant batch or lot numbers.
- 2
Assign tests and spec limits
Select the test panel for the sample. Specification ranges — minimum, maximum, or target — are pre-configured per test type so every result is evaluated consistently.
- 3
Enter or import results
Enter instrument readings manually or upload a CSV export. Aliquora immediately compares each value against its configured spec and highlights any out-of-spec result.
- 4
Investigate OOS flags
Out-of-spec results require a documented decision before the sample can advance: confirm the failure, retest, or override with a justification. The audit log captures every action.
- 5
Approve and generate the COA
An authorized reviewer signs off on the completed results. Aliquora generates a PDF Certificate of Analysis with your lab's branding, ready to attach to shipments or share with clients.
Aliquora's audit trail logs who entered, edited, reviewed, and approved every result — supporting the traceability requirements common in ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 quality programs.
Frequently asked questions
- How does Aliquora handle an out-of-spec result?
- When a result falls outside its configured spec range, Aliquora flags it immediately and blocks the sample from advancing to approval until a documented disposition is recorded — whether that's a confirmed failure, a retest, or an authorized override with a written justification.
- Can we brand the COA with our lab's logo?
- Yes. COA PDFs include your lab name and contact information. Custom logo support is available on paid plans.
- Do we need IT infrastructure to get started?
- No. Aliquora is a cloud-based SaaS; you log in through your browser. There's no server to install or maintain.
- Can multiple people enter results at the same time?
- Yes. Aliquora supports multiple concurrent users. Role-based permissions control who can log samples, enter results, and approve.
