Your LIMS judges what arrives. We do the work before it gets there.

Between “the instrument finished” and “the chemist signed” sit two to three hours a day per analyst: processing the export, checking QC against your limits, working out which samples a failed check invalidates, building the import, writing the review record. Caddie does that in minutes and hands the chemist a batch ready to sign.

What we take over

Everything between the instrument and the signature.

We read the raw instrument export and your SOP. The agent applies your QC limits, follows bracketing to its consequences per analyte, lists the re-runs with reasons, builds the LIMS import file and drafts the review record. Peaks and matrix judgement stay with your chemists.

By lab type

Built for the methods your bench actually runs.

Food, environmental and pharma labs, CDMOs and CROs share the same afternoon of data work, but the methods, limits and paperwork differ. Each gets its own setup.

Food testing

Food and agriculture labs

Multi-residue panels with hundreds of analytes, and every customer with their own limits. The agent applies the right specification to the right client and drafts the certificate.

  • Multi-residue batch processing. Pesticide and mycotoxin panels processed against each client's and each market's limits, not one generic table.
  • Certificates of analysis drafted. Results, qualifiers and specification checks assembled into your CoA template for the reviewer to sign.
  • Recovery and spike checks. Matrix spikes, duplicates and calibration checks evaluated per analyte, with the re-extraction list written out.

Environmental testing

Environmental and water labs

EPA methods are the same in every state, so a method built once runs everywhere. Bracketing, blanks and recoveries are followed to their consequences, and the corrective-action record is drafted while the run is still fresh.

  • Bracketing to the consequence. A failed continuing calibration becomes a per-analyte invalidation list and a re-run worklist, not a red cell.
  • Blanks, LCS and MS/MSD evaluated. Every QC sample checked against your SOP and client limits, with qualifiers applied the way your reviewers would.
  • Corrective-action and reporting records. TNI-style documentation and DoD reporting drafted from the run data, ready for QA.

Pharma QC, CDMOs and CROs

Out-of-specification results carry federal teeth. Whether you are a sponsor's QC group, a CDMO releasing batches against each client's specification, or a CRO reporting stability and bioanalytical studies in the sponsor's format, the agent assembles the Phase 1 investigation from the chromatography data and audit trail, in your own template, so QC reviews evidence instead of hunting for it.

  • LIR and OOS Phase 1 packets. Checklist with cited evidence, ranked hypotheses and the retest protocol per your SOP, drafted the same day.
  • Client-specific release for CDMOs. Each sponsor's specification, reporting format and notification rules applied to their batches, with the audit trail attached to the release packet.
  • Study reporting for CROs. Stability, method validation and bioanalytical runs processed against the protocol and reported in the sponsor's template, ready for QA and the sponsor's review.
  • Audit trail review. System, method and result audit trails read and summarized against the run, with anything unusual called out.

What it has returned so far.

Results from agents running inside client businesses. Client names withheld; the numbers are theirs and we can walk you through how each was measured.

LIR / OOS investigations
80%+

Investigation time reduced by more than 80%.

Out-of-spec results used to mean days of pulling audit trails, prep records and instrument logs by hand. The agent assembles the Phase 1 packet from the run data with every piece of evidence cited, and QC reviews and signs.

Batch data processing
2 min

From two to three hours a day to two minutes, in real time.

Analysts in food and environmental labs spent most of their day processing exports, checking QC and keying results. The agent now does it as each run finishes: import file, re-run list and review record ready before the analyst sits down.

320 = 320

Every sample accounted for before release.

On an ICP-MS run of 320 samples, a continuing calibration check drifted to 87%. The agent invalidated the ten affected samples for lead only, released the other 310, and produced the import file and record. The old way: a chemist re-derives it.

Runs alongside the LIMS you already have.

Labs told us the same thing: changing the LIMS takes years and sometimes fails. Caddie reads export files and produces import files. Nothing touches the instrument PCs; nothing about your LIMS changes.

Formatted for your LIMS and your test codes, with qualifiers applied. Upload and go.

Re-run list with reasons

Which samples, which analytes, which QC failure. Per analyte, not whole-sample reflexes.

Drafted review record

The batch story written for analyst, reviewer and QA to read and sign. Audit trail included.

Next step

Send us one closed batch. We will close it blind.

One method, one redacted batch: the export, the run sequence, your SOP and the signed results. We re-close it and show you it matches your chemists, sample for sample.
