Event Overview
When reporting and calculating results in a laboratory, analysts have many options, each with its own benefits and challenges:
  • Within the LIMS or SAP system
  • Within the data-generating application (CDS, MS data system, spectroscopy software, etc.)
  • Using external applications (MiniTab®, Microsoft® Excel, SAS®)
  • Using paper records and manual calculators
A recent LCGC publication discussed the relative merits of each and highlighted the specific concerns around using spreadsheets, specifically to address current Data Integrity concerns such as attributability, security, version control, traceability, and audit trails.
In this webcast we will discuss the challenges associated with spreadsheets, while acknowledging that sometimes a compliance-ready application may not be available, or a laboratory may have a need to combine data from multiple sources into a single report. This webcast will propose a solution to offer the comfort of using a familiar application such as a spreadsheet while providing the technical controls expected in today’s regulated environment.
Key Learning Objectives
  • Current regulatory expectations that are not met with standard spreadsheet applications, even when validated
  • Options for mitigating these challenges using applications already in the laboratory
  • Tools for overcoming the security and technical controls that are missing in spreadsheet applications today
