FDA-Compliant Lab Notebooks for Drug Discovery Through Manufacturing

From early-stage research to commercial manufacturing, the ELN Suite provides the documentation infrastructure pharma labs need — FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, automated audit trails, electronic signatures, and complete data integrity.

The Challenges

What Pharma Labs Deal With Every Day

1

Regulatory Complexity

Navigating FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, and ICH guidelines while maintaining research velocity. Manual compliance processes slow everything down.

2

Data Integrity Under Scrutiny

Every data point must be attributable, legible, contemporaneous, original, and accurate. Paper notebooks and spreadsheets create gaps auditors find.

3

Disconnected Systems

Instrument data in one place, notebooks in another, protocols somewhere else. Piecing together a complete audit trail across systems wastes hours.

4

IP Protection & Chain of Custody

Patent claims require timestamped proof of invention. Incomplete records can cost millions in IP disputes.

How ELN Suite Helps

Purpose-Built for Pharma Workflows

FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance

Purpose-built compliance with electronic records and signatures requirements. Automated audit trails capture every action — who did what, when, and why. Biometric electronic signatures with meaning statements satisfy even the most rigorous inspections.

  • Tamper-proof audit trails with SHA-256 hashing
  • Electronic signatures with biometric authentication
  • Meaning statements and witness countersigning
  • Automatic session management and access controls
