4. Help ensure compliance - Regulatory and Legal
If you work in a GMP or GLP environment - following regulations is very important. Proper signing, dating, witnessing and approval are critical to meeting federal and state regulations. For GMP labs 21 CFR Part 11 and predicate rules are all addressed.
If you work in a research environment complying with legal requirements for documenting and protecting intellectual property is very important. Again the rules that ensure that your ideas can be patented and defended if necessary are built into the software.
LABTrack is designed to enforce the rules needed to meet these requirements. And the data stored in LABTrack's database is hash encoded to ensure that it will stand up in a court of law. LABTrack uses the same hashing technology that many police agencies use (such as the FBI) to prove the authenticity and accuracy of electronic evidence. Hashing has been accepted in the US courts for over 30 years and has never been rejected as a protection technique*
*"No case was uncovered where hash was rejected as a means of ESI authentication." POCKETGUIDE FOR JUDGES, supra note 51.
