Stop tracking columns manually - start proving column integrity
Column Management System reduces manual lab tracking while strengthening regulated evidence: which column was used, when it was installed, how many injections were performed, which method applied, and when it was cleaned, qualified, or retired.
Column Management System helps pharma QC labs, CRO labs, and regulated testing teams maintain inspection-ready column records at scale. When columns are issued, moved, used, or replaced, the system automatically updates lifecycle status, captures usage evidence, and prevents non-compliant reuse—reducing compliance risk while improving visibility across labs, sites, and testing programs. It's built to make column compliance routine: assign → use → track → qualify → evidence, always traceable.
- •Column-to-method traceability with full usage and injection history.
- •Controlled status tracking (available, in-use, cleaning, quarantine, retired).
- •Audit-ready logs and qualification evidence for regulators and quality audits.
Column Management Features
Lifecycle tracking, inventory governance, and audit-grade traceability designed for regulated laboratory environments.
Column Inventory & Barcode Tracking
Register columns with barcode/QR codes, capture metadata (type, manufacturer, serial number), and track storage location and availability.
Column Lifecycle Status Management
Maintain controlled lifecycle states including received, qualified, in-use, cleaning, quarantined, damaged, and retired with time-stamped transitions.
Usage History & Injection Count Tracking
Track injection counts, run history, method usage, and analyst details to prevent overuse and ensure controlled performance.
Column Qualification & Performance Evidence
Record column qualification results, suitability checks, and performance verification with review approvals and audit trails.
Cleaning, Regeneration & Maintenance Logs
Document cleaning cycles, regeneration activities, and maintenance actions with timestamps and responsible personnel.
Method & Instrument Traceability
Link columns to analytical methods, instruments, batches, and samples to ensure complete traceability for investigations and audits.
Expiry, Reuse Limits & Alert Automation
Set expiry rules, reuse limits, and warning thresholds to trigger alerts before column failure or non-compliant usage occurs.
Integration & Data Flow
Integrate with LIMS, CDS, QMS, and inventory systems so column records stay synchronized with lab workflows and regulated reporting.
Compliance,
Security &
Validation Readiness
Built for regulated life sciences workflows with role-based access, secure audit trails, and electronic record controls designed to support GxP requirements and inspection expectations. We combine strong controls (roles, permissions, audit trails, Data integrity) with AI-assisted automation that reduces manual effort while keeping evidence complete.
- •Audit trail, traceability, and evidence-first workflows to support your validation/assurance approach (URS → risk → security test evidence).
- •Access control, segregation of duties, and configurable permissions.
- •Configurable workflows to match your SOPs and quality system.
Want to accelerate your rollout? We can provide a validation-ready evidence framework aligned to your SOPs.
Column Management Use Cases
Designed for QC testing, method compliance, investigation support, multi-lab inventory control, audit readiness, and lifecycle governance.
QC Laboratory Column Tracking
Track column inventory, location, and usage history to prevent mix-ups and maintain compliance in routine QC testing.
Method Qualification & Column Suitability Evidence
Maintain column qualification and performance evidence linked to analytical methods for inspection-ready documentation.
Injection Limit & Performance Monitoring
Monitor injection counts, reuse limits, and expiry thresholds with automated alerts to prevent column failure and invalid results.
Deviation & OOS Investigation Support
Link column history to test runs and results to support root cause analysis during deviations and OOS investigations.
Multi-Lab Column Standardization
Standardize column lifecycle workflows across multiple labs with centralized visibility and controlled governance.
Inspection & Audit Readiness
Generate audit-ready reports showing column usage history, qualification records, cleaning logs, and retirement evidence.
