“Can we provide the grades of pass box and lafs in on critical area with respect to material movement ? For example if a pass box installed between grade c and grade d environment can be designated as grade b? Similarly laf installed in grade c area can be designated as grade c? If yes what woukd be the viable and non viable limits to be applied?“
Ability to manage the release of the software/device exactly with the support mechanisms
The Question posed on LinkedIn:
“I have been working with an academic team of global R & D partners on TECH DOC, Product Support, Training, and Learning/Development solutions. One item on the hot list is the ability to manage the release of the software/device exactly with the support mechanisms such as the KB, the release notes, and the manual/quick start guide. Across several sectors, this issue seems to exist. How do I save the most time, yet not overwork the team, and remain as precise as possible without creating confusion for the internal teams/external teams? Any product manager, project managers, or other TECH DOC specialists care to share how to provide precision across the different LOBs in a global environment where time zones matter?“
Review of Draft Standard: AS 2828.2 Health records, Part 2: Digitized health records
One way I keep myself up to date with developments within laboratories and related areas is by reviewing draft standards. This keeps me appraised of the current state of affairs, keeps my documentation audit skills fresh and potentially allows me to contribute to the content of standards. For this draft standard, I have some knowledge of IT and IT security so am able to critically review the draft standard and offer comment.

Review of Draft Standard: AS 2243.1 Safety In Laboratories – Planning and Operational Aspects
One way I keep myself up to date with developments within laboratories and related areas is by reviewing draft standards. This keeps me appraised of the current state of affairs, keeps my documentation audit skills fresh and potentially allows me to contribute to the content of standards.
Here I step through the draft standard making comments. Where a comment is answered later in the standard, I go back to my original comment and make notes. An uncommented comment is potentially worthy of becoming an official comment on the standard.

Date: 24th August -> 5th October 1994.
Introduction
Certain organs in the body contain cells, which are involved in acid secretion. In the stomach such cells are called parietal cells and exist in gastric pits contained in the stomach body. (Diagram.1 and Diagram.2). In the kidney such cells are known as intercalated cells, and line the collecting ducts of the kidney. (Diagram.3 and Diagram.4) In both cases, a two-subunit ATP dependent (ATPase) proton pump controls the acid secretion. Continue reading

Does anyone use Evernote as an ELN (electronic laboratory notebook)?
The Question posed on LinkedIn:
“Does anyone use Evernote as an ELN (electronic laboratory notebook)?
Evernote seems to be a powerful, extensible cloud based application. I am curious if anyone in the group uses it in their lab and how do they use it, for what purpose and how well does it work for your needs?/”
My reply to this was:
I’d not advise it. Besides a vendor audit to ensure availability of the system and backups you’d need to ensure Evernote data cannot be obscured or changed, make sure time, date and user stamps are in place and the data integrity is maintained for the duration of the retention period.
