Technology

Innaphase Watson™ LIMS, Liquent InSight Publisher™, NuGenesis

Bioanalysis is supported by Innaphase Watson™ LIMS, a highly specialized software system designed to provide compliance with GLP and 21 CFR Part 11 regulations. Beginning with flexible study input, CEDRA uses Watson™ for sample management, analytical run planning, instrument interfacing, assay performance evaluation, data analysis, reassay decisions, and data reporting. Additionally, automated data transfer from Watson™ to Pharsight WinNonlin™ maintains Part 11 compliance for pharmacokinetic analysis. Other export capabilities are also available to provide data in various formats, however these exports may not be Part 11 compliant.

Study reports are produced using proven, industry-tested technology, providing regulatory compliant files for easy incorporation into electronic submissions. Liquent InSight Publisher™ applies PDF-rendering technology to automatically compile source documents with varying file formats into one seamless publication. Additionally, CEDRA utilizes NuGenesis software for electronic capture of representative chromatography to meet industry guidelines. These technologies support Part 11 compliant data reporting from Watson™ and other software programs.
