Identifier for Visual Inspection

Purpose-built software for parenteral visual inspection programs

InQuest Science built Identifier to do one thing well: manage particulate and physical defect data for parenteral, ophthalmic, and medical device manufacturers. It is a validated, 21 CFR Part 11 compliant platform for defect libraries, test sets, PoD calibration, and inspector and vision system qualification, designed by visual inspection subject matter experts rather than adapted from a general MES.

Identifier gives quality teams one auditable record of their visual inspection program, aligned with USP <790> and <1790>, in place of spreadsheets, paper logs, and disconnected databases.

The inspection lifecycle

Identifier across the visual inspection lifecycle

Identifier is modular. Each module covers one part of the visual inspection lifecycle and maps to the sections of USP <1790> it supports.

Why Identifier, not a general MES

Built by subject matter experts

Designed around USP <790> and <1790> by people who helped write them.

Depth where it matters

Purpose-built workflows for test sets, calibration, and qualification that general MES platforms do not provide.

Works alongside your systems

Identifier handles visual inspection and complements MES, LIMS, and eBR systems rather than replacing them.

Built for audits

Audit trails and validation documentation support regulatory inspections. Compliance and validation
