Lab Readout

How it works

A document goes in. A readout with its sources comes out.

No step of this is magic, and none of it replaces a laboratory. Here is the whole sequence, including the parts where the answer is “we cannot tell from this document”.

  1. 1

    Upload the document

    A PDF or a photograph of a Certificate of Analysis, up to 20 MB. It goes to private storage that only your account can read.

  2. 2

    The document is read

    Reported identifiers, methods and results are extracted and located on the page they came from, then the terminology is explained in plain language.

  3. 3

    You get a readout with its sources

    Every stated value links back to the exact page of the exact file that was analyzed. Anything missing, conflicting or unreadable is named rather than guessed.

While it runs

Named stages, not a fake percentage.

Processing continues if you navigate away. The stage you see is the stage the job is actually in.

  1. 1
    Waiting to start The document is queued. You can close the page.
  2. 2
    Reading document Text and layout are extracted from the file you sent.
  3. 3
    Checking extracted information Identifiers, methods and results are located, and each is tied to the page it came from.
  4. 4
    Preparing readout Terminology is explained against the located evidence, and gaps are named.
  5. 5
    Readout ready The report is saved to your workspace and stays there.

A file that cannot be read gets a specific reason — password protected, too unclear to read, or not a supported material document. An unreadable file is never reported as a suspicious one.

The result

Every value carries the page it came from.

Source links resolve against the exact version of the exact file that was analyzed. Uploading a corrected document creates a new version and a new run; it never rewrites the report you already have.

Not the same as absent from the batch. This upload does not show it.

Reported mass vs. label
Needs review Page 2

The stated specification and the reported result use different units.

Issuer-record check
Not performed

No supported check exists for this issuer, so none was attempted.

Scope

What is in and out of bounds.

What it reads
A Certificate of Analysis or comparable material document, as a PDF or a photograph. Up to 20 MB per file, in PDF, JPEG, PNG or WebP.
What it will not read
Personal medical records. This version is for material documents, and the upload step asks you to confirm you may upload the file.
What it never produces
A dose, a treatment recommendation, a patient-specific conclusion, or a judgement that a material is safe for human use.

Read your Certificate of Analysis.

Upload a laboratory document to organize its reported results, explain the terminology, and identify information that needs clarification.
