GxP compliance solutions for GMP/GLP labs
What does GxP mean and why is GxP compliance important for GMP/GLP labs?
The term GxP stands for “Good Practice” while the “x” denotes a range of compliance-related activities including Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP). Laboratories operating under GMP or GLP regulations must follow guidelines set by agencies to protect scientific integrity or demonstrate quality assurance of manufactured products.
GMP and GLP laboratories using microplate readers and washers in their workflows need to establish a compliant laboratory environment—a very time intensive process that requires dedicated resources.

SpectraTest Validation Plates
The SpectraTest® Validation Plates provide automated, comprehensive, and traceable validation of microplate reader performance for absorbance, fluorescence, and luminescence read modes. To maintain confidence in the standards, it is recommended to have validation plates recertified at one-year intervals.
All test measurements and calculations are handled automatically by the SoftMax Pro GxP Software protocols. Should any of the measurement parameters fall outside defined limits, a test failure is reported, and the suspect parameters are identified.
Our validation plates are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology and National Metrology Institutes. These plates are cleaned, calibrated, and recertified according to ISO 17025, and are returned to you with a new certificate of calibration.
