Is Novaqis Lab Digitize a direct replacement for Calgenie?

Lab Digitize addresses the same method and worksheet digitization problem with stronger governance: linked masters, human review, readiness scorecards, and professional LIMS adapters. Schedule a scoped demo to compare your STP and specification library.

Will Novaqis automatically load masters into our LIMS?

Adapters are professional services with validation evidence. Novaqis scopes migration assessment, mapping workshops, and phased cutover with your CSV team.

How are worksheet and TDS fields preserved?

The linked master model retains specification cross-references, test metadata, and calculation-oriented fields reviewers can validate against source DOCX or digital PDF anchors.

What about instrument results after digitization?

Lab Digitize complements Novaqis LIMS IDAS and InstrumentLink so digitized methods can connect to bidirectional instrument interlinking on a shared modernization plan.

Dimension	Calgenie-Style Method Utility	Novaqis
Extraction Accuracy & Traceability Defensible field lineage vs opaque utility output	Calgenie-style utilities focus on fast STP/worksheet conversion with limited per-field provenance and weak diff against source documents.	Lab Digitize ties every proposed field to source anchors, supports reviewer overrides, and records who approved each linkage for inspection narratives.
AI Proposals with Human Review Governed review queues — not silent auto-post	Batch AI extraction with minimal structured review or readiness metrics before export to LIMS.	AI-assisted extraction under business rules, mandatory human review, and readiness scorecards before any adapter publishes to your target LIMS.
Worksheet & TDS Field Fidelity Limits, calculations, and test metadata preserved	Generic table parsing that drops nested test parameters, calculation dependencies, or specification cross-references common in pharma worksheets.	Linked Product → Spec → Worksheet → Tests model preserves TDS-oriented fields, calculation hooks, and specification linkages for QC validation teams.
Multi-LIMS Adapter Services Professional migration path for any incumbent LIMS	Utility export files that still require your team to hand-map into each LIMS object model without vendor migration methodology.	Scoped migration assessment and professional-services adapters for major LIMS platforms — phased cutover with validation evidence, not unsupervised overnight loads.
DOCX / Digital PDF Source Gates Quality-controlled intake	Broad file acceptance including poor scans that inflate correction effort downstream.	DOCX and digital PDF intake gates with remediation holds so extraction runs only on controlled, machine-readable sources.
InstrumentLink & IDAS Roadmap Method digitization plus instrument automation	Digitization ends at worksheet export; instrument results still transcribed separately.	Lab Digitize pairs with Novaqis LIMS, IDAS, and InstrumentLink for a unified path from method masters to bidirectional instrument interlinking.

Technical Assessment

From Utility Export to Governed Lab Digitize + Services

Strategic Assessment

Calgenie and similar utilities accelerated early worksheet conversion, but regulated QC programs now demand traceable Product → Spec → Worksheet → Tests linkages, reviewer accountability, and quantitative readiness before LIMS cutover.

Novaqis Lab Digitize combines DOCX/digital PDF gates, rules plus AI-assisted extraction, mandatory human review, and per-object readiness scorecards. Migration to your incumbent or target LIMS is delivered through scoped professional-services adapters — not an overnight auto-migrate promise.

Pair digitization with Novaqis LIMS and InstrumentLink when you want method masters and instrument automation on one roadmap.
