ANT LIMS functionalities
Sample
Management
refers to the systematic handling, monitoring, and analysis of samples, including creating sampling instructions, generating labels, scheduling and logging tests, and integrating with systems like SAP, to ensure compliance with protocols and deliver accurate results.
Stability
Studies
involve defining protocols with time-points, conditions, levels, and test articles, allowing testing to be assigned to each cell in the protocol, requiring approval before starting, and supporting the generation of product master lists and sample labels.
Specefication and
Test Methods Management
involves supporting multiple levels of product specifications with version control and approval, defining sample plans and allowed suppliers, integrating analytical methods with training information, and linking to related documents.
Results entry,
Review and Approval
involve a flexible result entry process with manual and file-based import options, result validation logic, automatic highlighting of out-of-specification results, complex result calculations, test comments and attachments, ad-hoc result entry, configurable calculations triggered by data entry, dynamic Certificate of Analysis generation with review and approval, and provision for investigations and re-testing of Out of Specification and Out of Trend tests.
Reports, KPI
and Data Management
involve generating customizable printable reports for samples, tests, projects, and analytical runs, integrating real-time data for business intelligence tools and analytics dashboards with drill-down capabilities and predefined KPI dashboards.
Laboratory
Equipment Management
involves a system that connects to instrumentation, reads values, supports various connection methods, parses instrument files, applies processing rules, provides instrument check and calibration alerts, and generates calibration/maintenance reports.
Material and
Inventory Management
involves a transaction-based application for maintaining and tracking inventory of chemicals, reagents, glassware, instrument spares, certified reference material, and consumables, with features for inventory entry, MSDS maintenance, label generation, stock characteristics definition, and common inventory transactions.
Electronic
Lab Notebook (ELN)
is a built-in, fully integrated system for method execution, sample preparation, and complex calculations, capable of seamless data exchange with core LIMS and existing DMS modules, providing user-friendly data input and interfacing with equipment and CDS tools.
Interface
The Interface in the system enables bidirectional and uni-directional integration with various equipment, supporting multiple interface standards, industry-leading software, MES communication, and third-party interfaces while ensuring data integrity and ease of configuration.

Highly Compatible and User-Friendly LIMS
Our LIMS is a web-based application requiring no installations on the client side. We ensure compatibility with Microsoft Remote Desktop Services and provide easy integration with third-party bar-coding solutions and devices. Our system also supports flexible filtering and search operations, enabling you to easily query data records from the database based on document content and metadata.
Electronic Record Protection & Audit Trail Capability
We prioritize the protection of your electronic records and provide controls to ensure they are available during the data retention period. Our LIMS detects invalid or altered data entry records and supports Electronic Signature (E-sig) functionality, designed to meet FDA 21 CFR 11 /EU GMP Annex 11 electronic records and signatures rule.
Our system offers full audit trail capability with configurable settings for what items or events are audit-trailed. The audit trail includes the date and time of operator entries or actions, previous data values before the audit event, and reasons for change. Users can search for specific records in the audit trail and export extracts, facilitating transparency and accountability.
Seamless Integration & Document Management
Our LIMS allows for seamless two-way integration with existing SAP and DMS functionality in the same unified platform. Our system supports the handling of different types of laboratory documents like docx, xlsx, pdf, txt, rtf, among others. Document workflows can be configured to cover multi-stage approval and release processes for documents
