Raw Material Analyzer Software

Raw material testing software manages the testing and release of incoming materials in a regulated manufacturing environment — registration, specification management, sampling, testing, investigation and release. Nova-RM performs this as a module of Nova-LIMS, so raw material results share a database with in-process, finished product and stability data.

It is a module of Nova-LIMS. Nova-LIMS is modular by design and built on a workload management framework with instrument interfacing; raw materials, finished products and stability can be taken individually or together, integrated on one platform with a shared specification library.

Because the processes differ. Raw material testing needs supplier and manufacturer tracking, skip-lot and parametric testing and reduced-testing programs. Finished product testing needs traceability back to the raw materials used and feeds the zero timepoint of stability. Separating them allows each to be feature-rich rather than generically configured.

Yes. Reduced or full testing is applied automatically based on the material, supplier and manufacturer, so skip-lot and parametric programs run from a rule held in the system rather than a spreadsheet maintained alongside it.

Real-time trending by material, supplier, manufacturer and market, with process control charts, normal and Weibull distribution and cumulative sum OOT to show whether the process is in a state of control. An ad-hoc query tool builds KPI and annual product review reports from live data.

Yes. Ingredients and APIs are linked at batch level, and because the raw material, finished product and stability modules are integrated on one platform, genealogy from lot received to product released is a report rather than a manual exercise.

Nova-LIMS interfaces directly with chromatography data systems, balances, titrators and other QC instrumentation so results are acquired rather than transcribed, and supports bidirectional SAP and ERP integration for material import and release status.

Nova-LIMS ships with pharmaceutical workflows already built, including the electronic lab notebook. Generic LIMS platforms are configurable frameworks in which those workflows are constructed and then validated — which is where most of the implementation time and validation effort in a LIMS project is spent.
