Pre-installed standard applications on Cubis® balances and QApps cover a wide variety of laboratory applications. In addition, Sartorius can cover special applications using customer-specific software modules. Based on your SOP, we create workflows that depict your process and can make these processes more efficient.
To use QApps in a regulated environment, they must be validated. For the validation of computer-assisted systems, the GAMP® Guideline of the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) has established itself as the generally recognized standard regulation in the pharmaceutical industry in recent years. The GAMP® guide was first published in 1994 and has been available since 2008 in the 5th version.
Based on the GAMP® 5 guideline, Sartorius developed the Product Development Life Cycle (PDLC). It forms the basis for all development activities and thus also for the conception, creation and validation of QApps. To meet the highest quality requirements, the PDLC is implemented via workflows in a software-supported application lifecycle management system (ALM). This guarantees adherence to the process and the quality-assured procedure.
The Sartorius PDLC therefore guarantees the customer a GAMP®-compliant development of GxP-relevant QApps and a complete life cycle documentation.
