Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) recently announced the latest
generation of its Automated Compliance Engine for Agilent Enterprise Edition compliance services.
The updated software enables delivery of even more reliable, secure and
cost-efficient analytical instrument qualification services to the
pharmaceutical industry. As a result, Agilent Enterprise Edition is able to get
systems in cGMP-compliant labs validated and back into production faster.
Agilent Enterprise Edition delivers compliance services that are
harmonized across techniques for a broad range of analytical instruments and
computer systems from multiple vendors. It provides a selection of equipment
qualification plans, tailored equipment qualification reports, and flexible
test specifications to accommodate standard operating procedures. The new
compliance engine streamlines electronic review and approval, from the approved
qualification plan to a configurable, secure, and digitally signed final report
that is audit-ready and consistent across the entire enterprise. It also
enables users to run compliance tests on multiple instruments simultaneously,
further reducing downtime.
"Enterprise Edition ensures that Agilent compliance services are
applied uniformly across laboratories, geographies and analytical techniques,
independent of manufacturer," said Gary Powers, Agilent compliance program
manager. "Innovation is key to making sure Agilent remains the No. 1
worldwide compliance partner. Whether for product research, development,
testing, manufacturing, or quality control, Enterprise Edition offers complete
compliance services for the pharmaceutical lab."
Last year, an independent survey of 350 respondents in North America and
Europe ranked Agilent as the No. 1 choice for general lab compliance services
and instrument qualification-for the fifth consecutive time. (The survey has
been completed five times since 1995.)
