Laboratories comparing QCnomics with IAMQC usually want to know four things: whether the software works with the controls and analyzers they already have, whether it covers the whole ISO 15189 / NABL management system or only QC data, how the two are paid for, and who supports them in India. This page sets out what each vendor states about its own product; where a vendor does not state something publicly, the table says so rather than guessing.
| QCnomics | IAMQC | |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | Cloud; optional Windows agent for analyzer connectivity. | Web-based SaaS, no server installation on lab premises (vendor brochure). |
| Controls supported | Any control material from any manufacturer (Bio-Rad, Randox, Technopath, analyzer-vendor controls, in-house pools). Lot records with assigned and lab-established means. | Complements Technopath Multichem controls; third-party control support not stated. |
| Westgard rules | Standard and sigma-selected multirules; rules in use compared with the sigma recommendation. | Westgard rules plus user-defined rules; Recommended Sigma Rule report. |
| Peer comparison | Peer comparison across QCnomics laboratories per analyte and control lot; EQAS results managed alongside. | Comparison across instruments and locations; group co-ordinator report. |
| Sigma, uncertainty | Sigma metric per analyte and level against CLIA 2024 or biological-variation TEa; Westgard Sigma Rules recommended and compared with the rules in use; measurement uncertainty U (k=2). | Sigma metrics used to suggest rules and QC frequency; measurement of uncertainty standard report. |
| Analyzer / LIS connectivity | QCnomics Agent (Windows service) captures QC from analyzers over ASTM, HL7 v2, raw serial, file export or database pull, or reads the copy already sent to the LIS (zero-touch). Patient results are not stored. Manual entry and CSV import also available. | Multiple interfacing and data submission options, unidirectional and bidirectional; manual entry. |
| Beyond QC data | Full ISO 15189:2022 management system: IQC, EQAS, CAPA, calibration and correlation, equipment, environment, personnel and training, document control, internal audit, management review, legal licences, risk, indicators. See the compliance matrix. | QC data management; brochure states it facilitates meeting ISO 15189 requirements. |
| Pricing | Published on the website: from ₹1,500 per month (30 analytes) to ₹12,500 per month (240 analytes), annual plans at a discount, Guided plan with an accreditation specialist at 2×; 15-day free trial. No cost tied to which controls you buy. | Not published. |
| Support in India | Qualityfy Technologies, India. Support by WhatsApp, phone and e-mail in English and Hindi; remote set-up of analyzer connections included. | Through LGC / Technopath distributors. |
When IAMQC is the better fit
A laboratory using Multichem controls that wants sigma-based rule and frequency recommendations within the control vendor's own ecosystem.
When QCnomics is the better fit
A laboratory wanting the same sigma-based QC design on any control brand, automatic QC capture from its analyzers, reagent calibration correlation, and the complete ISO 15189 / NABL management system at a published price with India-based support.
Frequently asked questions
Does QCnomics recommend QC rules from sigma like IAMQC?
Yes. Each analyte's sigma is computed from TEa, EQAS bias and QC imprecision, and the Westgard Sigma Rules design (rules, N and run size) is shown next to the rules the laboratory has configured.
Does QCnomics work with Multichem controls?
Yes, with any control material.
