Vertére’s ChIM® Chemical Inventory Management Module is the proven solution for managing and maintaining laboratory chemical records from ‘receipt to disposal’. This bar-code enabled, container tracking system allows anyone concerned with lab safety and compliance to track and report on chemicals, gas cylinders, select agents, biologicals, isotopes, and maintenance chemicals throughout the laboratory or across the enterprise. This comprehensive chemical inventory management module is at the core of laboratory safety, regulatory compliance, and risk mitigation.
ChIM® module also includes physical data, safety and regulatory information, and a full complement of functions that each group can enable to meet their inventory, regulatory, and safety requirements. It is uniquely suited for tracking stock chemical, samples, select agents, radioactive materials, and gasses.

EASE OF USE
The Vertére Inventory Manager uses a standard Windows interface that is familiar and easy to navigate. On-line help, browse features, carryover functions (templates), and numerous support tools speed new record entry. Consider these strengths for ease of use:
- Chemical Identification
The Module is delivered with a master catalog that contains the Sigma-Aldrich, Mallinckrodt-Baker, Lancaster, and other chemical suppliers with product number and container size. This catalog lets you prepare a new inventory record by entering the product number shown on the chemical container. You do not need to enter the product name or container size. For minimum inventory records, you add the location and responsible person or group, and save your inventory record. Other vendor product lists are provided as available.
- Security
The security options of the Inventory Manager allow tight control of inventory items. You define who has access to chemical records. For example, you can limit access to specific users (only users in Chemistry may see Chemistry’s records), or limit access to designated chemicals (only named individuals may see select agents, for example). The IM tracks radioactive materials, supports batch processing, tracks refills, monitors consumption, and stores billing information.
- Auto tag generation
The Inventory Manager will display a unique ID number for a container when you add a new inventory item. You can reserve a range of numbers, turn the auto tag feature on or off, or simply scan in the label number if you are using pre-printed barcodes. You are in control; neither you nor your users need to be concerned about the tag numbers.
- User-defined required fields
The Inventory Manager helps you maintain a basic inventory record by requiring the chemical identification, the amount in the container, and the location of the container. Some users, however, need more information to meet FDA, DEA, OSHA, EPA or other regulatory guidelines. You define the requirements such as shelf life, lot number or cost; Vertére ChIM® Module ensures that they are met.
