ISO COA generator software

Almost all instruments have a built in technical report. If you want a Certificate of Analysis (someone else mentioned a Certificate of Authenticity - that’s different, so if that’s what you want, please disregard) that summarizes the data you have collected across multiple instruments I would recommend going with a LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) which will pull the information from your instruments directly instead of a spreadsheet and put it into a report format based on your “in-house” or “compendial” or “regulatory” requirements. They even do electronic signatures at this point - so someone in Quality Assurance can review it semi-remote.

Here are some cannabis friendly (since not all companies work with cannabis yet) LIMS that I have used in the past. They are SaaS or standalone - pretty cheap and easy to install/work with.

Labware - I’ve used this for almost a decade at different facilities, their cloud based system is modular and easy to get started and they already have integrations with most (if not all…) instrument companies.

Element - I’ve only used this twice but it does integrate nicely with regulator software and instruments. I don’t know that I like it as much as Labware - but that’s probably because I’m used to Labware a bit more.

As some others said above - doing what you are asking is not terribly difficult, but you should probably have someone that this is what they do. I’ve been doing quality assurance for over a decade and my signature on a COA means a whole lot. Looking nice is one thing - but validated data is what is really important.

Good luck!
