New software ensures Part 11 compliance

Published: 1-May-2004


New software for the RiboPrinter microbial characterisation system, available from UK-based Oxoid, enables compliance with 21 CFR Part 11. The Windows-based software includes four levels of security that determine user access to certain features, along with audit trails that track and record changes to data.

The RiboPrinter system stores all information about an analysed isolate, including the ribotype fingerprint, links to any information associated with that pattern, an accurate history of data changes, the source of the isolate, and any additional presumptive identification information obtained. This release also introduces the option for remote client access, which allows users to analyse RiboPrinter system data from their desktop or other computers outside the laboratory.

The RiboPrinter microbial characterisation system is used in many applications, including strain-level identification, pinpointing sources of contamination, clinical trial support, r&d, and ensuring culture integrity.
