For Clinical Labs
In today’s diagnostic landscape, laboratories must deliver fast, reliable, and cost-effective results despite staffing shortages, tighter regulations, and rising technical complexity.
Ascentry Validation Manager
Cloud-based validation software for modern laboratories
Validation Manager is a cloud-based software service that automates the verifications and validations of laboratory methods and instruments.
It has been developed for over a decade together with laboratories around the world. Our customers have measured that even 95 % of the time previously wasted can be removed with Validation Manager. What is most important, however, is the leap in quality that can be reached with a new mindset and new software solutions.
Validation Manager use cases range from verifications and validations to routine quality control of the laboratory. Furthermore, test manufacturers can empower their customers to conduct faster verifications of their instruments, and even conduct troubleshooting activities remotely. Laboratory groups can achieve full benefits of centralization and standardization by collecting quality data from all laboratories into one centralized platform
