Cherwell Laboratories has adopted an electronic document management system to speed delivery of its microbiological media products for environmental monitoring.
The paperless system ensures batch-quality records are delivered directly to the email inbox of the appropriate quality assurance personnel.
This ensures that all key records are distributed in a timely manner, thereby fast tracking the release of products for environmental monitoring purposes.
Cherwell employs a positive release scheme for all products before despatch and the batch-quality records are essential to secure the release of microbiological media shipments from 'Goods In' within a pharmaceutical facility.
Documentary evidence of sterilisation parameters, source of raw materials and a certificate of analysis, covering growth promotion, pH and sterility testing, undertaken within Cherwell's own laboratories, are all required before use.
'By adopting this paperless approach, we have responded to the requests of our customers to not only fast track customer release of our products, but also ensure greater efficiency and security in the delivery of crucial batch-quality documents directly to the relevant quality personnel,' said Andy Whittard, managing director, Cherwell Laboratories.
