Every sample enters the lab with a record it can stand on.
Register samples at the counter in under a minute. Futqual prints a barcode label, captures condition photos and temperature, checks acceptance criteria and keeps a signed chain of custody from collection to disposal.

Capabilities on this station
Barcode and QR labels
Unique sample IDs on thermal labels, with one label per container and sub-sample. Scan to open the record at any bench.
Condition at receipt
Temperature, seal, quantity, preservation and container type, checked against the acceptance criteria for each matrix.
Photo evidence
Attach photos from a phone or webcam to the receipt. Damaged or leaking samples are recorded before anyone touches them.
Chain of custody
Every hand-off is timed and signed: collector, courier, reception, analyst, retention store and disposal.
Deviations and client consent
Samples outside acceptance criteria are flagged. Record the deviation, get client consent and carry the remark onto the report.
Retention and disposal
Retention periods per matrix with a store location. Disposal is logged with date, method and the person who did it.
Reception that holds up in an assessment
ISO/IEC 17025 clause 7.4 asks how you identify, handle, protect and store test items. Futqual answers it with records your assessor can read in one screen.
- Unique identification kept for the life of the sample
- Acceptance criteria per matrix and test, set by QA
- Deviations recorded with client communication attached
- Storage conditions and location history for every container
Bulk receipt for project and routine work
Construction sites send 30 cubes at once. Food plants send daily batches. Register them from a template or a spreadsheet and print every label in one go.
- Batch receipt from templates or CSV
- Client, project and site reference on every sample
- Sub-samples and splits with parent links
- Courier and walk-in receipts on the same desk

Sample Intake at a glance
About Sample Intake
Yes. Set the prefix, year format, running number and separators. Futqual continues from your last issued number.
The receipt is marked as a deviation. You can reject it, or accept it with client consent, and the remark is carried onto the final report automatically.
