Audits without surprises
Every test, result and decision is logged with an audit trail. When the GMP inspection arrives, the evidence is already organised and accessible.
IP6 LIMS · Quality & lab control
The LIMS that frees quality teams from audit risk
If you're responsible for quality, every audit is a test on paperwork you don't control. IP6 LIMS records and validates every test with full, paperless traceability, so the evidence is always ready — not just the week before an inspection.

Benefits
Fewer hours defending paperwork, more hours improving processes
Three results your management notices, not just your lab.
Real time back for the quality manager
Fewer transcriptions, fewer spreadsheets and less chasing signatures: the result-validation workflow runs on its own.
Connected quality decisions
The lab result releases or blocks the batch directly in the warehouse and production. No emails, no double entry.
The real screen, not a mock-up
The result the analyst sees is the same one quality sees
IP6 LIMS follows every sample from the sampling plan to the certificate of analysis: specifications, out-of-range results, review and electronic signature, all in the same record.
And that same result is what releases or blocks the batch in the warehouse, with no need to re-enter it in any other system.
Differentiation
Why IP6 LIMS instead of an isolated LIMS?
A LIMS living on its own island forces you to type things twice and reconcile systems before every audit.
Connected to your operation
- The batch's quality status is reflected instantly in the WMS and in production
- Samples linked to real batches, suppliers and manufacturing orders
Built for compliance
- Full audit trail and electronic signature at every step
- Result-validation workflows that follow your SOPs
No monolithic project
- Deployed as just another module of the IP6 platform, integrated with your ERP
- Pay-per-use option available, with no upfront investment

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about IP6 LIMS
What does a LIMS manage?
A LIMS lets you manage the entire laboratory operation digitally. The platform centralises and controls:
- Laboratory tests and analyses
- Sample management
- Reagents and materials
- Laboratory equipment
- Calibrations and verifications
- Alarms and incidents
- Stability studies
- Method and test versioning
- Analyst workload
- Certificates of analysis (COA)
This improves traceability, document control and the lab's operational efficiency.
Can the LIMS integrate with laboratory equipment?
Yes. The system can integrate with a range of laboratory equipment and instruments. For example:
- Scales
- Analytical instruments
- Measurement equipment
- Data-capture systems
- Automated laboratory equipment
This integration enables automatic result capture and reduces errors from manual entry.
Does the system track equipment calibrations and verifications?
Yes. The LIMS lets you manage and monitor:
- Calibrations
- Verifications
- Maintenance
- Equipment alarms
- Operating status
The system helps ensure that laboratory equipment meets the defined operational and regulatory requirements.
Can the system manage tests and analytical methods?
Yes. The system manages the full cycle of laboratory tests and analyses. You can control:
- Analytical methods
- Test versioning
- Results
- Limits and specifications
- Analysis statuses
- Execution history
All information is recorded digitally to guarantee traceability and document control.
Does the LIMS help manage analysts' workload?
Yes. The system lets you view and manage each analyst's pending tasks. For example:
- Assigned tests
- Pending samples
- Priorities
- Execution status
- Lab workload
This makes it easier to plan and optimise resources within the lab.
Is the system built for GMP and pharmaceutical environments?
Yes. The LIMS is designed for regulated environments and can be used in industries with GMP requirements. For example:
- Pharmaceutical industry
- Quality control laboratories
- Life Sciences
- Biotechnology
- Cosmetics
- Food
The system helps guarantee the traceability, data integrity and document control required in these sectors.
Can the LIMS manage stability studies?
Yes. The system lets you control and record stability studies and their corresponding analyses. You can manage:
- Stability schedules
- Sampling
- Analytical results
- Study statuses
- Document history and traceability
This gives you full follow-up of every study carried out in the lab.
Does the system generate certificates of analysis (COA)?
Yes. The system can automatically issue certificates of analysis (COA) from the results recorded in the lab. Certificates can include:
- Analytical results
- Batch information
- Specifications
- Approval statuses
- Traceability data
This speeds up document generation and reduces manual work.
Can the system monitor the status of analyses in real time?
Yes. The system gives real-time visibility into the status of laboratory tests and analyses. You can check:
- Pending tests
- Tests in progress
- Results obtained
- Alarms
- Approval statuses
- Analyst activity
This supports operational oversight and decision-making.
