When laboratories start looking into compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 , one of the first questions they ask is whether Chromperfect meets the requirements for electronic records and audit trails. This video explains how Chromperfect supports compliance and compares the two main configurations — the standard file-based system  and the Database Edition . The Database Edition adds enhanced security for regulated environments, storing all chromatographic data, methods, and audit tr
