GLP and Automated Systems
In many instances, the optimal recommended 'no-argument' means of implementing GLP is to develop an automated approach to both Sample Preparation and Sample Measurement. If this can include an overarching 'chain of custody' sample history and data flow, combined with adequate SOP's for calibration & linearization of measuring tools, GLP compliance is virtually assured.
Implementing GLP on an automated system, as an intellectual and labour-intensive task, requires a GxP company to make a great amount of effort. To ease the burden of this management, Webster et al. have provided a tutorial for users to quickly embark on and do the job properly.
Certain Manufacturers & Vendors of Laboratory Instrumentation and/or Laboratory Automation are well-versed in assisting with the application of GLP (and 21CFR11) to their commercial offerings.

Famous quotes containing the words automated and/or systems:
“Nature is a self-made machine, more perfectly automated than any automated machine. To create something in the image of nature is to create a machine, and it was by learning the inner working of nature that man became a builder of machines.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“The only people who treasure systems are those whom the whole truth evades, who want to catch it by the tail. A system is just like truth’s tail, but the truth is like a lizard. It will leave the tail in your hand and escape; it knows that it will soon grow another tail.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
