Network ACE

Agilent offers automated compliance engine (ACE), audit-ready, paperless software for instrument qualification and reporting. Specifically, we’ve enabled the installation of Network ACE within laboratory networks to simplify deployment and data integrity alignment. Like ACE, Network ACE is independent of your chromatography data systems (CDS), so you can harmonize USP <1058> analytical instrument qualification (AIQ) practices and simplify audit preparation. With ACE software, count on adherence to protocols, consistent calculations, and accurate reporting.

How It Works

Continued regulatory focus on data integrity

Data integrity is driving changes in global compliance. Audits by the FDA and other regulators continue to identify fundamental data integrity issues. These findings drive the sustained regulatory focus on the data integrity across the laboratory, including instrument qualification. Many data integrity failures can be traced to weak governance. Laboratories that use PDF forms, Excel, or paper-based protocols for qualification are reliant on procedural controls for data integrity. This is a fundamental weakness.

Is this qualification compliant with ALCOA + requirements?

Data integrity compliance is critical. It ensures that data is secure and has not been compromised during its lifecycle. Many laboratories and data integrity guidance documents have focused on the foundation of core ALCOA (Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original and Accurate) principles, for data integrity. However, laboratories must also ensure that qualification data satisfies additional requirements associated with ALCOA + (Plus: Complete, Consistent, Enduring and Available).

Network ACE is data integrity aligned

Agilent developed Network ACE specifically to meet evolving data integrity requirements, such as ALCOA +. In addition, Network ACE can be installed within laboratory networks to ensure data integrity alignment. You have secure, end-to-end traceability of qualification data and protection from the same IT policies, controls, security, back up, and archiving that apply to other systems within your validated IT network. This means ACE qualification plans and reports are retained within your IT domain, ensuring data integrity.
