CDS/LIMS Integration Relieves Compliance Risk at Leading Nutrient Manufacturer

Presenter:

Dr. Panna Chaudhari, Director of Technical Affairs at Fortitech, Inc.

Fortitech, Inc. is the world leader in the development of custom nutrient systems for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. The company custom formulates more than 12,000 ingredient blends from a comprehensive selection of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, nucleotides, nutraceuticals and other specialty ingredients. The burgeoning task of managing and documenting ingredient blend quality procedures, invoked an initiative to fully automate lab operations.

In 2002 Fortitech selected and implemented StarLIMS™ as its lab automation platform and was one of the first sites to apply the recently released Millennium32/StarLIMS Interface. This interface enables scientists and technical staff to seamlessly move electronic records between Millennium32 and StarLIMS without generating any additional non-controlled files. This is a superior enhancement for labs complying with 21 CFR Part 11 requirements encompassing security; data integrity, traceability, and audit trail generation.

The presentation will examine the issues leading to Fortitech’s decision to implement an integrated CDS/LIMS solution, describe the workflow before and after the implementation while accentuating the impact of the STARLIMS/Millennium32 integration on productivity and compliance risk.

Partner Workshop: The STARLIMS Interface Yields One Stop Scientific Data Management

An optimal LIMS/CDS interface is one that supports secure bi - directional communication between the two applications and is flexible enough allowing users to decide where to place workflow and calculation actions (LIMS or CDS). For instance, certain procedures will allow transparent (automatic) signoff on the Millennium/Empower side, while other situations will determine whether the analyst is given an opportunity to review the results on the LIMS side and decide which results set should be designated for further processing.

The workshop will examine the critical role of an evolved CDS/LIMS interface accomplished by the joint effort of Waters and L.i.M.S. enabling scientists and technical staff to seamlessly move electronic records between Millennium32 / Empower and STARLIMS.

The topics and solutions demonstrated are based on a case study at Fortitiech, Inc. and include:

	Setting up secure bi-directional communications
	Flexible Workflow Options
	The StarDOC interface to Millennium
	Automatic data collection using StarLIMS batch processing
	Flexible Calculation Options on StarLIMS and/or on the Millennium
	File-less data transfer
	Harmonized electronic signatures and Audit Trails
