Standardized sample intake, in every lab.

Every kit that arrives is received, checked and documented the same way. One standard, built into the Samples App and our SOPs, so every lab works alike and every step is on record, in minutes.

Illustrative example
The Samples App

Every kit, documented in the Samples App.

Lab staff run the whole intake in Samples, our app for iPad. It guides every step, photographs both sides of every Q-Strip on our stand and prints the kit label once the kit is accessioned. The same flow, in every lab.

The Qvin photo station on a lab bench: an iPad clipped onto the Qvin stand above a Q-Strip and a color chart, a label printer beside it and a returned Q-Strip Container

Animation: the technician photographs both sides of the Q-Strip in the Samples App, the kit is accessioned, and the label printer prints the kit label with the kit ID, the Q-Strip IDs, the collection date and the stability date.

  • Both sides on record

    The barcode side and the sample side, photographed for every Q-Strip, on the same stand in every lab.

  • Barcode read from the photo

    The app reads the Q-Strip barcode and checks it against the kit. A mismatch is flagged on the spot.

  • Stored with the sample

    Every photo is saved to the sample record before any work starts.

  • A kit label, automatically

    Accessioning prints the kit label on the lab’s Zebra printer: kit, Q-Strips, collection date and stability date, with a 2D barcode.

Standardized intake

Clear criteria for every kit.

Scan the shipping label or the kit’s barcode, and the kit opens with its order, panels and collection times. Before anyone touches the sample, it is checked against defined criteria: it continues, or it stops with a recorded reason.

ContinuesThe kit is accessioned when

  • The kit is within its expiry date
  • The sample is within the stability window of every panel
  • Every panel is approved by a physician
  • The collection time is recorded
  • Both Q-Strips are in their Q-Strip Container
  • The Q-Strip barcodes match the kit
  • The pouch is intact
