Labtronics and KnowledgeTree® Partner on 21 CFR Part 11 Compliant Document Management System

Labtronics Inc., a world leader in the development of software solutions for laboratory instrument interfacing and laboratory automation, and KnowledgeTree, a leading provider of commercial open source document management software, today announced the results of their co-operative effort to ensure that KnowledgeTree, a component of Labtronics’ Nexxis SDMS, fully meets the needs of customers working in a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant environment.

Under the direction of Tom Curtis, Labtronics' Vice President of Product Innovation, Labtronics conducted a thorough technical review of the KnowledgeTree Commercial Edition to ensure that it would meet 21 CFR Part 11 compliance requirements for Labtronics' customers in the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries.

"We were extremely pleased and impressed with the security and audit trail capabilities that were already in place in KnowledgeTree," said Tom Curtis. "The only area where our team found room for enhancement was in the ability to provide electronic signature challenges at key points in the application."

KnowledgeTree acted on Labtronics' recommendation to incorporate the inclusion of configurable electronic signatures as a significant new feature in the release of KnowledgeTree 3.6.1, which became available on June 10.

"Labtronics' expertise, based on years of experience in developing software solutions that meet 21 CFR Part 11 compliance requirements, was instrumental in providing this latest upgrade to KnowledgeTree," said Daniel Chalef, CEO of KnowledgeTree. "With the addition of electronic signatures to our existing security and audit trail capabilities, KnowledgeTree provides organizations with a cost-effective document management solution that meets their regulatory compliance requirements."
