Structural foundation for daily work and support for method development from initial design to routine production.
Data tables in PLA 3.0 act as containers for observation data or referenced data. You use them to configure the display of observation data and to set up automated data flows between PLA 3.0 documents, thus minimizing the need for manual interaction.
Use this column to display the sequence step number and the dose value.
Overview of the PLA 3.0 software, its ongoing improvements and version updates, and the available trial options.
An overview of the concepts that define structure and behavior in PLA 3.0.
Data aggregation in PLA 3.0 lets you automatically transfer data and results from source to target PLA 3.0 documents, thus supporting complex and compliant operations. Manually entering data in spreadsheets or other programs is not necessary.
Use the observation source setting to configure how you obtain your observation data. You can enter data manually or aggregate it from other PLA 3.0 documents. The observation source you select influences which data editors you use to enter your observation data.
Use the row order setting to switch between an ascending and a descending order for your observation data.
Use this column to associate each observation with a logical/Boolean value.
Use this column to associate each observation with a date.
Use this column to associate each observation with a date and time.
Use this column to set up document reference filters. Document reference filters let you decide which of the referenced documents PLA 3.0 can use as source documents.
Use this column to set a document title.
Use this column to flag technical outlier in the data table.
Use this column to set up floating-point number dataset columns. Dataset columns let you define the parameters you want to aggregate into your target document.
Use this column to identify specific observations in the report.
Use this column to associate each observation with a value of integer number format.
Use this column to associate each observation with a multiline text.
Use this column to link individual observations (measurements) to their assay elements. All observations of a group belong to the same assay element.
Use this column to set up position factors. Position factors let you define plate layouts for your assays. You can define up to three positions, that is, row, column, and plate.
Use this column to display the observed response value.
Use this column to set up section filters. Section filters let you decide from which sections within a source document PLA 3.0 can aggregate data.
Use this column to display flags to mark technical outliers.
Use this column to set up text dataset columns. Dataset columns let you define the parameters you want to aggregate into your target document.
Use this column to associate each observation with a time.
PLA 3.0 securely stores all your data within electronic documents. Documents are organized within a database and presented through a folder tree for easy navigation and access. Your data remains complete, accurate, and consistent throughout its life cycle, thus ensuring data integrity.
PLA 3.0 uses a modular architecture, consisting of a core system called framework and specialized modules referred to as add-ons. This design lets you extend the system's capabilities by integrating extra modules without modifying the core software.
PLA 3.0 can handle a wide range of plate layouts and is not restricted to any particular format. Position factors in PLA 3.0 support you in defining plate layouts. They let you associate your observation data in PLA 3.0 with its physical location on the measurement system, such as a plate or rack.
Use templates to simplify tasks, standardize processes, and improve data security. Define document structures and initial values for documents, and control who can view and edit document sections and individual elements within documents.

Import of external response values and observation data into PLA 3.0 for further processing and evaluation.
The user interface of PLA 3.0 includes graphical and textual elements designed for daily workflows.
Deployment, installation, and update of PLA 3.0, including initial and advanced setup.
The licensing solution of PLA 3.0, available licensing options, and the activation and management of licenses.
Setup and maintenance of databases and add-ons, user accounts, access rights, and migration and update procedures.
PLA 3.0 supports users in achieving compliance with regulations such as ISPE GAMP® 5 and 21 CFR Part 11.
Stegmann Labs serves as the sample lab for scenarios illustrating the use of PLA 3.0 across bioassay analysis workflows.
