Leading
Nutritional Supplement
Manufacturer Selects STARLIMS
Web-based LIMS is ideal for ensuring
compliance with new FDA regulations
Hollywood, Florida (July 10, 2007) -
STARLIMS Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: LIMS), a leading global
vendor of laboratory information management systems (LIMS),
announced today that its entirely web-based LIMS will be
implemented by Schiff® Nutrition International, Inc. (NYSE:WNI).
Founded 70 years ago and based in Salt Lake City, Schiff®
develops, manufactures, markets and sells branded and private
label vitamins and nutritional supplements in the United States
and throughout the world.
Selection
Reflects STARLIMS’s Industry Expertise and Advanced Web-
based
Technologies
“We selected STARLIMS partly because of their
extensive expertise in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and
food&beverage industries; and partly due to the technologically
advanced web-based software they offer,” said Abel Sekepyan, the
LIMS administrator at Schiff. “We plan to make use of existing
STARLIMS tools, configuring them to match our own business and
laboratory practices. We look forward to further automating the
flow of data at Schiff, making our environment as paperless as
possible.”
“We are delighted to work with Schiff in this
wide-ranging project, which will improve automation and help
ensure regulatory compliance throughout the Schiff laboratory
infrastructure,” said Jeff Ferguson, Chief Operating Officer at
STARLIMS. According to Ferguson, STARLIMS V10 will interface
with a wide range of instruments, helping manage sample login,
chain of custody, test scheduling, results entry, training
records, laboratory consumables inventories, stability studies
and other processes.
Ideal
LIMS to Comply with Increasingly Stringent FDA Regulations
“There is a marked trend towards more and
more stringent regulation in the nutraceutical manufacturing, as
in other industries,” added Ferguson. He cited the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration’s new regulations for manufacturers of
vitamins, herbal pills and other dietary supplements, which will
go into effect August 24, 2007.
“While Schiff already has stringent quality
control of raw materials and all ingredients, other companies in
this industry may need to enforce tighter quality control
standards as a result of new regulations,” he added. “STARLIMS
is ideal for such requirements. It is easily deployed in
distributed organizations, vastly facilitating testing,
traceability and quality control of raw materials that are
sourced on a global basis.
