Why a Complete Batch Record Matters More Than a Tidy Report

A laboratory report is a summary. It tells you what the result was. A batch record tells you how the result was produced. Which reagent lots were used, which instrument ran the samples, what the ambient temperature was, whether anything unusual happened during the run. When a result is questioned, the batch record is what you reach for.

Founder & maker

Claire Padgett

Founder, Established since 2018

Claire Padgett spent eight years running analytical assays at a contract research organisation before deciding she wanted to build something she could take apart and put back together herself. She trained in biochemistry at the University of Leeds, then moved into method development for a mid-sized diagnostics firm where she spent three years optimising ELISA protocols for clinical trial samples. In 2018 she founded Orpine Lab Core with a single centrifuge, a secondhand plate reader, and a notebook full of process maps. She is particular about pipette calibration, keeps a physical logbook for every batch, and on slow Fridays she still runs gels by hand just to stay sharp.
