Get an overview of PLA 3.0, the end-to-end bioassay analysis software. Learn about its ongoing improvements and version updates, and discover the available trial options.
Learn how the key concepts of PLA 3.0 form the structural foundation for your daily work, supporting method development from initial design to routine production.
Use the Biological Assay Package for potency analysis of biological assays. The add-on comes equipped with a highly flexible test system to qualify your assay. You can perform combination calculations to obtain the reportable value from independent assay runs and use historic assay data to develop equivalence margins.
Use the bioMérieux Endotoxin Detection Assay Package add-on to perform endotoxin testing based on recombinant factor C (rFC), a synthetic alternative to naturally sourced reagents derived from horseshoe crabs, as offered by the bioMérieux company.
The Control Chart Package allows sophisticated statistical process control (for example, by plotting Shewhart I-Charts as recommended in the USP <1010>). It provides visualization options for intervals, subcharts and sidecharts, and allows you to define colors by a secondary characteristic. You can also define rules based on events and time frames.
Use the Dichotomous Assay Package to analyze biological assays based on quantal (binary) responses by fitting probit or logit models to estimate the potency of your samples.
The Dose-Response Analysis Package provides various biostatistical methods for immunoassays, ELISA, and more. It supports you in investigating equivalence for calibration curves, provides enhanced data processing, and options for subgroup analysis.
The Microbial Assays for Antibiotics Package for PLA 3.0 is your software for assessing the potency of antibiotics. This add-on supports various methods, that is, cylinder-plate, turbidimetric, and combination of microbial assays. It enables you to closely follow the guidelines laid out in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP <81>) and the Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP 4.02).
Use the Biological Assays Simulation Package to create simulations of quantitative response assays (QRAs) and use the Quantitative response assay document type of PLA 3.0 to store the simulated data.
Use the Generic Document Types add-on to organize contact-related data, create and manage reminders or internal comments, or streamline workflows where data needs to be consistently organized and referenced.
Use the Integration Report Package for creating reports in additional file formats that are not covered by the standard PLA 3.0 reporting functionality. These reports can be used for example for automated processing in third-party software.
The Measurement Documentation add-on is a universal add-on for documenting different aspects of a measurement. Its documents can be referenced by other document types, for example, Quantitative response assays.
Find details on the installation of the PLA 3.0 Migration and Archiving Toolkit.
The PLA 2.x Archiving Assistant calculates a specific project or all projects of your PLA 2.x database. The calculation results are copied to the synchronization folder. The synchronization folder is updated when this step is repeated.
The synchronization folder stores the data that is extracted from the PLA 2.x database. Set up this folder in your Windows file system. The folder can be located on a local drive or a network share.
Start the PLA 2.x Archiving Assistant from your Windows Explorer.
Extract your assays from the PLA 2.x source database and store them in the synchronization folder.
Set up an archive of your PLA 2.x assays in your PLA 3.0 environment.
Set up the migration logic to convert your PLA 2.x assays into PLA 3.0 Quantitative response assay documents. You can convert a single document or all documents within a project.
Set up the comparison logic to compare the calculation results of the migrated PLA 3.0 Quantitative response assays with the results in the PLA 2.x Assay archive documents.
Find reference information on the document types of the PLA 3.0 Migration and Archiving Toolkit add-on.
Use the Split Assay Package to split a Quantitative response assay with several Test and Control samples into individual assays, each with the Standard and one Test or Control sample.
Use the Toolkit for Biological Assay Package to modify the analytical settings of larger sets of Quantitative response assays or split Quantitative response assays with more than one test or control sample into individual assays.
Use data acquisition and data import add-ons to import external response values and observation data into PLA 3.0 for further processing and evaluation.
