PLA 3.0 Migration and Archiving Toolkit

Current product version: 1.1.0

Use the PLA 3.0 Migration and Archiving Toolkit if you are running a PLA 2.0 or PLA 2.1 installation and want to migrate your databases to a PLA 3.0 environment.

The PLA 3.0 Migration and Archiving Toolkit provides all necessary tools for a compliance-safe transition. It lets you export PLA 2.x data to the hard drive, archive that data in PLA 3.0, migrate PLA 2.x assays into PLA 3.0 documents, and compare PLA 2.x results with PLA 3.0.

It also supports inspections by providing traceable documentation and helps you requalify migrated methods in the new environment.

Archive PLA 2.x data

With the PLA 3.0 Migration and Archiving Toolkit, you can create an archive of your calculated PLA 2.0 or PLA 2.1 data, based on the following logic:

  • All assays are calculated in the original PLA 2.x environment.

  • All reports available in PLA 2.x are created and made available for download from the archive.

  • An audit trail export is made available.

  • A PSF (PLA 2.x Secure Format) file is made available, which lets you reimport your assay data into the PLA 2.x source environment, if required.

As a result, you receive an archive of your PLA 2.x data within your PLA 3.0 environment, which lets you retire your old platform.

Migrate existing methods

The statistical capabilities of PLA 3.0 exceed the ones that were available within PLA 2.x. Your historic assay data contains a lot of valuable information, which wait to be revealed. With the migration of your data, you receive all options to get the most out of your data, for example:

  • Equivalence margin development from your historic assay data

  • Control charting

These methods require the assay data to be migrated to the PLA 3.0 format and recalculated.

Support inspections

Inspection support gets easy and fast. When your results are inspected by agencies or by your company's quality organization, you can use the archived and migrated data to immediately answer inspection-related questions. The following details are available:

  • All reports

  • Audit trail export

  • PSF file for reimporting the assay in PLA 2.0 or PLA 2.1

  • Migrate method to transfer the data into PLA 3.0 format

  • Capabilities to compare PLA 2.x results with PLA 3.0 results

Requalify methods

Requalify your existing methods in a new environment by comparing the results of the migrated PLA 3.0 Quantitative response assays with the results in the PLA 2.x assay archive documents:

  • Assay comparison delivers an in-depth insight into all critical aspects of assay statistics, including regression parameters, potency results, ANOVA, and assay and sample suitability tests.

  • A bulk comparison function lets you check a full project in one single run. You receive an overview report and detailed reports for every assay.
