Compliance with ExpiryEdge

Answers to your questions about managing regulatory deadlines with ExpiryEdge.

LabSure is your dedicated platform for precisely tracking and managing all time-sensitive lab assets and compliance deadlines. This includes critical **reagent and consumable expirations**, **equipment calibration and maintenance due dates**, **sample validities**, and **staff certifications**. It ensures your lab remains audit-ready and prevents costly waste.

LabSure's core function is to eliminate waste. By precisely tracking the expiry and 'opened-on' dates of your reagents, kits, and media, and sending **proactive, multi-channel alerts**, it ensures you use materials before they expire, or dispose of them properly, preventing wasted budget and the need for expensive experiment re-runs due to invalid components.

LabSure is built for audit confidence. It provides a centralized, timestamped digital record for every lab item's expiry status, calibration history, and action taken. Our **multi-stage alert system** ensures you never miss a compliance deadline, giving you undeniable proof of due diligence for ISO 17025, GLP, or other regulatory audits.

LabSure ensures you never miss a critical lab deadline. You can customize alerts for multiple intervals (e.g., 90, 60, 30, 14, 7 days before, and on the day of expiry) via **email and in-app notifications**. This proactive system cuts through the noise, prompting action well in advance.

The MVP focuses on one primary user per lab account for streamlined control. For future versions, collaborative features and multi-user access with roles and permissions are planned to support larger lab teams and their workflows more comprehensively.

Security is paramount for lab data. All access credentials and shared item passwords are securely hashed using bcrypt, making them irreversible. Your lab's critical inventory and compliance data are protected, ensuring only authorized personnel can access or modify information.

LabSure is designed for rapid adoption. Our intuitive interface allows you to quickly log reagents, equipment, and certifications with minimal clicks. There's virtually no learning curve, so your lab can start benefiting from automated expiry and calibration tracking in minutes, not months, unlike complex LIMS systems.

LabSure is **not a LIMS**. LIMS are broad systems for managing experiments, workflows, and instrument integration. LabSure is a **hyper-focused solution** specifically designed to prevent the costly problem of forgotten expiry dates and calibrations. We offer unparalleled reliability for this critical function without the complexity or high cost of a comprehensive LIMS.

For security reasons, we cannot retrieve original passwords. However, if you are the owner of the LabSure account, you can easily update the password for any shared lab item by editing its details on your dashboard.

Yes, you can archive lab items once they've been disposed of, calibrated, or completed. Archiving moves them out of your active view but retains them securely in your historical records, maintaining a clean workspace while preserving valuable audit trails.
