Waters Corporation Unveils Enhanced Alliance iS HPLC Software for Improved Traceability and Data Integrity
Enhanced Alliance iS HPLC System Software by Waters Corporation
Waters Corporation, a prominent name in analytical instruments and software, has recently announced the release of a major update to its Alliance iS HPLC System software at the 54th International Symposium on High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. This new version, 2.0, sets a new benchmark in the pharmaceutical industry for end-to-end traceability and data integrity.
Key Features of the New Software
The latest iteration of the Alliance iS HPLC System emphasizes user authentication through its integrated touchscreen, providing a secure environment for laboratory operations. The software is designed to minimize user errors by up to 40%, significantly enhancing the readiness for audits and ensuring that actions taken within the system can be traced back reliably.
One of the notable highlights of this update is the incorporation of the Empower software's secure architecture into the HPLC system, facilitating compliant monitoring and intuitive traceability. This enhancement addresses crucial regulatory expectations for complete audit trails of user interactions with data and systems, particularly important in the pharmaceutical sector where FDA standards are stringent regarding data integrity.
James Hallam, Vice President of Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry at Waters Corporation, stated, “Traceability plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and integrity of pharmaceutical data. Regulatory agencies view the lack of records as significant when deviations are identified. The integration of user access control from Empower into the Alliance iS HPLC System creates new standards for traceability and data integrity in QC laboratories.”
Improved Usability and Efficiency
The Alliance iS HPLC System's newest functionalities are not just about compliance; they are also about usability and operational efficiency. By reducing human error rates and improving productivity in QA/QC laboratories, the system preemptively addresses potential errors before they manifest. Thus, laboratory professionals can focus on their core tasks without undue concern relating to data mishandling.
Also noteworthy is that the Alliance iS HPLC platform has been recognized with the ACT Environmental Standards (Accountability, Consistency, Transparency) from My Green Lab. This designation marks Waters Corporation's commitment to sustainability in scientific practices. The Alliance iS HPLC System has received accolades for its eco-friendly manufacturing processes and its features designed to minimize errors, reinforcing the company’s dedication to reducing environmental impacts.
Release and Impact
The upgraded Alliance iS HPLC System software will be available in August 2025. Given that over 80% of new drugs have been submitted to regulatory authorities using the Empower software, the reliance on this upgraded system is anticipated to further boost laboratory efficiencies and ensure compliance across the board.
Waters Corporation has been at the forefront of innovation for over 65 years, providing solutions that enhance the efficacy, safety, and sustainability of various scientific fields, from pharmaceuticals to environmental science. With this latest software update, they continue to pave the way for future advancements in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography.
