Starna Scientific has introduced a new QA initiative able to set identification labels and support documentation that contains unique serial number bar codes.
The QA initiative is said to make Starna the only UV-Visible/NIR Certified Reference Materials (CRM) supplier currently providing bar coded CRM sets to customers.
This is particularly relevant in the pharmaceutical industry and other highly regulated environments.
The bar codes enable tracking of reference type and serial number within the customers" laboratory and QA department, as well as when CRM sets are returned to Starna for re-certification.
The bar code initiative saves time and potential transcription errors by eliminating the need for manual entry of the set identifiers into computer-based systems, such as laboratory information management systems (LIMS).
Starna Certified Reference Materials validate spectrophotometric measurements in the ultra-violet and visible regions.
Starna CRMs are fully traceable to NIST primary standards and are manufactured under ISO Guide 34 conditions, which are accepted world wide as the highest Standard commercially available.
