FORMULATION MANAGEMENT

The Ignitive LIMS advanced Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) incorporates an effective formulation management application in order to make it easier for you to design products and strike the best balance in terms of costs, use and performance.

With the Ignitive LIMS formulation management module, you will be able to manage the creation of new recipes, define your targets, generate component lists, create batches, perform stability and compatibility testing, share technical and analytical data.

Leveraging more than 25 years of enterprise-level laboratory automation experience, Abbott Informatics has developed an exceptionally flexible platform to archive, trace, and manage scientific and laboratory information in a wide variety of formats.

Going beyond formulation management, LIMS also manages material and inventory data, stability studies, laboratory testing workflows, instrument data, document workflows and more. All of this information can be made available to any authorized user through 100% Web-based platform, designed for rapid global deployment.

Recipe Management

The LIMS recipe module is designed for managing recipes with active ingredients, additives and other components. The typical process starts with recipe creation, followed by manufacturing a batch. Ignitive LIMS provides standardized methods to create, copy, modify, review, edit and store recipes and sub-recipes resulting in faster recipe development and better consistency

The Ignitive LIMS recipe module also allows users to define and store manufacturing procedures, link product specifications, documents, etc.

Batch Management

Users can create manufacturing orders directly from the Ignitive LIMS recipe module or from the production batch management. During the manufacturing process lots and quantities of the ingredients are entered or directly importedbfrom other systems. Rule-based calculations can be done, e.g. if an ingredient is defined as an adjustable or as a filler. Samples can be taken at any time and tests, test plans and specifications can be associated.

Stability and Compatibility Testing

LIMS allows testing and approvals for raw materials, intermediates and finished products. Most customer use this functionality to perform stability and compatibility testing, but it can be used to capture whatever test data you choose.

Material and Inventory Management

The LIMS material manager allows the user to create material types and materials along with safety information, MSDS, supplier details, etc. Equivalent materials from different suppliers with different trade names can be grouped and selected during batch creation.

Reporting and Data Retrieval

Reports for labels, inventory lists, weigh-in-sheets, test results, stability studies, etc., are already available out of the box. Furthermore LIMS offers advanced data retrieval tools to create filtered and/or sorted data list overview
