"The VelQuest SmartLab GMP Electronic Notebook System is an innovative software platform solution to a fundamental GMP operation problem - pharmaceutical development and quality records are frequently paper-based with data documentation and review related activities consuming up to 70% of valuable human resource in laboratories," says Ken Rapp, President and CEO of VelQuest. "VelQuest's patented technology interacts with scientists in real-time and allows the electronic capture of data directly from devices such as balances and pH meters, and PC-controlled instruments (e.g., HPLC's), driven by SOP's and test methods."
The VelQuest SmartLab™ GMP Electronic Notebook System is a software platform designed to provide the foundation for compliance-based activities in the life science markets. The core software embraces the FDA's "cGMPs for the 21st Century: A Risk Based Approach" initiative, and supports the company's SmartLab™ Applications for a fully compliant electronic laboratory, SmartShell™ 21 CFR Part 11 remediation software, and SmartBatch™ manufacturing batch record system.
Founded in January 1999, VelQuest Corporation provides a growing suite of products to help transform regulated industries from labor-intensive, paper-based operations to automated, efficient systems, with greater confidence in their compliance than ever before possible.
