Support 21 CFR Part 11 / Annex 11 / GxP Compliance
The Tetra Scientific Data Cloud supports 21 CFR Part 11, Annex 11 and, GxP data integrity definitions and guidance for industry. Customers can deploy use cases in biopharma, including (but not limited to) screening, pre-clinical testing, model development, ADME-Tox, pilot plant synthesis, bioprocessing, manufacturing, and quality control / release testing with minimal efforts.
Comprehensive approach to GxP
GxP requires more than product features to ensure compliance. You need technology, processes, tools, and services specifically designed to ensure regulatory compliance and minimize the related efforts.
TetraScience’s product features, security principles, and alignment to the tenets of GxP, 21 CFR Part 11, and ALCOA+ help ensure your data are safe, secure, and accurate. Supporting your GxP-compliant workflows with the Tetra Scientific Data Cloud allows for full data integrity and traceability throughout the entire product lifecycle from discovery to manufacturing. TetraScience has an ISO 9001-certified Quality Management system, which ensures quality and reliability while maintaining data confidentiality and integrity and minimizing risk. Our dedicated GxP Package with an extensive documentation set helps to further decrease compliance risk and efforts.
