More so than with other industries, developing an effective data governance strategy is critical for Pharma and biotech companies. It’s imperative that data is accurate, complete, reusable, and secure. Without proper governance, compliance could be at risk with agency regulations and data quality, accuracy, user access, reuse, and reliability may be jeopardized, and this could impact the organization’s data-driven decisions across drug development, clinical operations, and commercial.

While data entry is a normal part of laboratory work, how you do it matters in terms of overall operational performance. Labs may begin with manual data entry, but they will quickly discover that the cost of that process is going to be excessive in the long run. This is another example where automation using systems like an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) or a LIMS, like LabLynx’s ELab LIMS, can streamline lab operations, reduce overall operating costs, and better use people's skills and capabilities.

Pharma products are produced under strictly controlled conditions. Processing areas must be free from contamination. Microbial data collection and analysis play a critical role in ensuring the quality of such conditions. This data comes from samples of surfaces, air, water, and personnel in a clean space. Environmental monitoring (EM) is a process that helps monitor sterile and non-sterile drug products. EM provides data on the quality of the environment during batch manufacturing.

Precision therapeutics refers to the new classes of treatments that have been developed to treat diseases with specific characteristics, whether it be genetic defects, immunological deficiencies, or molecular profiles.
MES as part of a manufacturing operations management application suite can intensely improve problems in manufacturing precision therapeutics. [Read More]
Good laboratory practice, or GLP, is a quality system of management concerned with the organizational process and conditions of non-clinical laboratory testing. The most central elements of GLP are record-keeping and the maintenance of attributable, original, accurate, and traceable reports and critical documents. Adding a laboratory information management system (LIMS) to any lab can help easily meet the requirements to ensure GLP adherence.
