Product · QA Companion
One system that aligns researchers, programmes and institutions around trust.
QA Companion is the data integrity and provenance platform for pre-clinical and translational research. It captures the story behind every result, surfaces what’s ready and what’s stale, and turns audit prep into a non-event.
01 · Activity dashboard
Signal, not noise.
One view across studies and sites. Velocity, module breakdown, contribution heatmap, QA severity. The day’s quiet alarms surface before they become tomorrow’s investigations.
- Activity velocity pulse, hour by hour
- Module interaction breakdown across the lab
- QA signal severity ring, critical, warning, info
- Protocol drift alerts, tied back to the specimen
Dashboard · live signals
02 · Specimen tracking
Every specimen knows where it lives.
Building, room, shelf, rack, drawer, box. The digital record matches the freezer. Provenance, identification, time stamps, study metadata, physical quality and notes. All joined to a single object, traceable end-to-end.
- Identification & time-stamping per aliquot
- Study and inventory metadata in one panel
- Physical & quality details, condition, volume
- Relationships across parent–child specimens
Specimens · detail view
03 · Audit-ready activity history
The story is already written.
When a reviewer asks, you don’t reconstruct — you scroll. Field changes, tray moves, form submissions, status updates, exports, reactivations. Tied to the person, the time and the study, with relevant training certifications surfaced beside them.
- Per-user activity timelines across 30 / 60 / 90 days
- Field-level change history with before / after values
- Assigned storage zones and training certifications
- Filterable by action type and study context

How labs adopt
Land. Expand. Scale.
Most labs start small. A single team, a single pain. The platform grows with them, from researcher to programme to institution, on the same provenance backbone.
The Lab.
Connect alongside your existing ELN, LIMS and spreadsheets. Solve an immediate researcher pain. What’s ready, what’s stale, what’s unusual.
The Programme.
Expand across cohorts. Provenance and QA outcomes become a programme-level expectation, without dictating how individual labs work.
The Institution.
Portfolio-wide visibility across labs, studies and tools. The integrity layer for the whole research estate.
How Nonte fits
Beside your stack, not on top of it.
We don’t ask you to migrate. We observe what’s already happening, capture the provenance, and surface it where it’s useful. Your ELN, LIMS and QMS continue exactly as they are.
Sits beside Benchling, LabArchives, eLabFTW
No notebook migration. Researchers keep the tool they trust, provenance arrives quietly in the background.
Makes your existing systems defensible
Sample tracking and quality systems stay in place. Nonte makes the story between them traceable.
Observes the messy edges
The places provenance usually breaks exports, renames, freezer-log spreadsheets, email handoffs are exactly where we add structure.
