Strenght, flexibility and SECURITY
• The security of the information is guaranteed given that, apart from the standard identification of users, the program gives you the option of logging in through the LDAP server. Customise and limit the actions of each user registered in the application and select the modules of the program that they have access to. A complete auditor registers the activity and the traceability of the data during the use of the program, registering the date, time and user of each action. The program also provides you with tools to perform periodic and unattended backups.

• Generate bar codes in order to identify your samples. Our system provides you with different models of codification that allow you to adapt to any situation.
Flexible, compact and CUSTOMIZABLE
• The communications with analysers are integrated in the program and are managed from a control panel. ALFA21 FQM® is set up for the simultaneous communication with multiple analysers. You can also connect to any external device (optical mark reader,etc) that allows you to automate the entry of data.
A PILLAR fundamentalfor the growth of your laboratory
