By the time the monthly report runs, the batch has shipped

In most plants, quality control data lands in a LIMS as a single pass or fail number, and the control charts are rebuilt by hand in Minitab or JMP once a month. Drift is invisible until it becomes a failure, an out-of-spec result kicks off an email chain to reconstruct what happened, and the formulation and instrument context that would explain it lives in another system. Uncountable's LIMS for Quality charts every result live as it is entered, flags an out-of-spec point the moment it appears, and opens the deviation with the batch, formulation, and full instrument data already attached.

Quality control, from the result to the release

Catch drift while you can still act on it. Live SPC charts every result as it is entered, so an out-of-spec point shows up in real time

‍

Live SPC, not a monthly export: Control charts update as results are entered, so a trend is visible in real time instead of after the batch has shipped.

Real-time OOS and control-rule alerts: Out-of-spec points and control-rule violations fire the moment they appear, not at the next Minitab review.

Capability at a glance: Process capability (Cpk) is tracked continuously against your configurable specifications.

Control chart for AquaShield 200, revision 14, showing gloss (60°) values on QC Line 3 from batch B-2282 to B-2291. The blue line with dots represents gloss measurements steadily declining from about 90 GU to 78.4 GU, which is below the orange dashed spec floor at 85 GU. The red control limits are at 92.1 GU (UCL) and 77.1 GU (LCL). The mean gloss is 84.6 GU, while the Cpk value is 1.42. The latest batch B-2291's gloss value is flagged in red as it falls below the spec floor.
An out-of-spec result should open with the evidence already attached, not an email chain

‍

Deviation with the data linked: The batch record, formulation revision, raw-material lots, and full test data are attached automatically the moment a result is out of spec.

Root cause traces to the recipe: Every result carries the formulation and process that produced it, so the why is one click away instead of stopping at a number.

Deviation opened, CAPA handed to QMS: The out-of-spec result opens a deviation with the evidence linked; corrective action and change control run in the QMS governance layer on the same record.

Quality deviation report DV-2291 showing an open investigation for batch B-2291 with formulation AquaShield 200 rev 14 and raw-material lot RML-3372. The deviation occurred at Site A, QC Line 3, due to a gloss test result of 78.4 GU which is below the specification of 85 GU. Investigator Laura Larson has assigned a high priority with a due date of September 2, 2026. A corrective action CAPA-0468 is linked. Linked evidence includes batch record, formulation revision, raw-material certificate of analysis, and full instrument data to support the investigation.
Release the batch with a clean, traceable record, not a document hunt

‍

Certificates of analysis: Generated from the QC results, with specifications and measured values in one place instead of a hand-built PDF.

E-signatures and approvals: Batch release is captured with electronic signatures and a full audit trail of who released what and when.

Traceable end to end: Release decisions trace back to the formulation and raw-material lots behind the batch, so disposition stands on evidence.

Certificate of Analysis for Aquashield 200, Batch B-2296, Revision 15, showing quality parameters with specifications, measured values, and results. Parameters include Density (1.27 g/mL, Pass), Solids (45.2%, Pass), pH (8.6, Pass), Viscosity (87 KU, Pass), Dry Film Thickness (25 µm, Pass), Gloss (88.6 GU, Pass), Contrast Ratio (0.978, Pass), and Fineness of Grind (6.8, Pass). Approved by L. Larson (Quality Engineering) at 9:14 AM and D. Whitmore (Quality Management) at 11:02 AM on Aug 27, 2026.
Stay compliant and connected across every site, on one platform

‍

21 CFR Part 11 & EU Annex 11: Automatic audit trails and electronic signatures for regulated batch release.

QMS: An out-of-spec result can auto-generate a deviation, and CAPAs carry the CoAs and SPC behind them.

Integrated ELN & LIMS: The R&D record and sample data every QC result traces back to.

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM): Specifications and approved formulations flow from development into QC.

Multi-site dashboards: First-pass yield, out-of-spec rate, open deviations, and Cpk by line, across sites.

Guided rollout: Specifications and control rules configured in during a staged implementation, including instrument and ERP integration.

Quality Dashboard showing key quality metrics for all sites over the last 30 days, including first-pass yield 97.8%, out-of-spec rate 1.4%, open deviations 10, and average CPK 1.23. A table lists sites A, B, and C with product lines AquaShield 200 and CoolCoat 410, showing CPK values color-coded by performance and OOS rates. CPK values above 1.33 are green, 1.00 to 1.33 are yellow, below 1.00 are red. OOS rates range from 0.0% to 3.2%. A legend explains the CPK color coding. The dashboard interface includes a side navigation menu with icons. Metrics summarize performance by site and line.

Automate the workflow around every result

Test reviews, CAPAs, and non-conformances don't have to live in a spreadsheet someone remembers to update. Configure the process once, and the system routes the work, assigns it, and tells people when it's waiting on them.

What changes with one connected record

Cost
Cut the cost of every out-of-spec investigation
When root cause starts with the formulation and lot data already linked, investigations that took days take hours instead.
Reduce administrative overhead
Digital workflows for test review, CAPA, and non-conformance replace manual tracking and spreadsheets.
Revenue
Release batches faster
Automatic SAP sync and real-time release decisions mean product ships faster, with fewer disputes over what was approved.
‍
Protect capacity, not just compliance
Standardized workflows across sites free QC teams to focus on the next investigation instead of re-entering the last one.
Risk
Audit-ready traceability, always
Built-in audit trails, version control, and exportable reports meet ISO, GxP, and site-specific requirements without a scramble.
‍
Consistent quality across every site
Harmonized workflows keep every lab and plant working from the same standards, not five different ones.

One tells you what happened. The other tells you why.

A QC result is what happened. The formulation, process, and full instrument data behind it are why. When both live on one model, quality control stops being a number and becomes a traceable answer.

FAQs

What is Uncountable LIMS?

Uncountable LIMS for Quality is the quality control capability of the Uncountable platform, part of the Quality suite, built for production scale. It handles sample login, test plans, and results capture against configurable specifications, with live SPC, real-time out-of-spec alerts, and deviation and CAPA management, all connected to the formulation and full instrument data behind every result.

Does LIMS do live SPC?

Yes. Statistical process control runs live as results are entered, so the technician sees the control chart update on the same screen, rather than exporting to Minitab or JMP for an after-the-fact review. Out-of-spec points and control-rule violations trigger alerts in real time, and process capability (Cpk) is tracked continuously.

What happens when a result is out of spec?

An out-of-spec result can automatically open a deviation with the batch record, formulation revision, raw-material lots, and full test data already linked. Root cause, CAPA, and disposition are handled in the same system, so the investigation starts with the evidence in hand instead of an email chain.

Is it compliant for regulated quality work?

Yes. Uncountable supports automatic audit trails and electronic signatures meeting FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11, with role-based access and versioned records, so batch release and audit preparation are backed by a complete, traceable record.

Could you produce a batch's full test history right now?

Thirty minutes, your samples, your workflow: see what that looks like when the LIMS holds it.
