Unity Real Time by Bio-Rad Laboratories is a quality control data management application designed for clinical laboratories. It centralizes QC workflows, helps detect analytical issues quickly, and supports regulatory compliance by combining real-time monitoring, peer group comparison, and comprehensive reporting.
With Unity Real Time, QC results can be captured from instruments, middleware, or a laboratory information system and evaluated immediately against user-defined rules, including commonly used Westgard multi-rules. The software provides intuitive visualizations such as Levey-Jennings charts, flags shifts and trends, and supports lot-to-lot and instrument-to-instrument comparisons. By connecting to Bio-Rad’s interlaboratory program, it enables real-time peer group comparisons so labs can benchmark performance against similar methods, instruments, and control lots.
Unity Real Time also streamlines documentation and oversight. Users can configure alerts, document corrective actions, maintain audit trails, and generate inspection-ready reports to support CLIA, CAP, and ISO 15189 quality requirements. Role-based access and multi-site dashboards help standardize QC practices across departments and locations.
Built for chemistry, immunoassay, hematology, coagulation, and other disciplines, Unity Real Time helps laboratories improve QC decision-making, reduce repeat testing, and maintain consistent analytical performance. more
