Computer files

A computer file of about 19,000 peak wavenumbers and intensities, along with search software, is distributed by the Infrared Data Committee of Japan (IRDC). Donated spectra, which are evaluated by the Coblentz Society in coUaboration with the Joint Committee on Atomic and Molecular Physical Data (JCAMP), are digitized and made avaUable (64). Almost 25,000 ir spectra are avaUable on the SDBS system developed by the NCLl as described. A project was initiated at the University of California, Riverside, in 1986 for the constmction of a database of digitized ftir spectra. The team involved also developed algorithms for spectra evaluation (75). Other sources of spectral Hbraries include Sprouse Scientific, Aston Scientific, and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).

Documentation of the system design and operating data, analytical assumptions and constraints used in the analysis in a notebook becomes part of the QA record. However, it is useful to have documents analyses and records as computer files for handling the voluminous data reporting and presenting the results of the work. It provides. 

Figure 7.3-1 outlines steps in the scoping process. However, if this information is to be gathered, it should be in a convenient form such as collecting the data as a computer file in a notebook personal computer. The file may be a word processor, a spreadsheet, or a database. If the input is into a word processor such as WordPerfect or Word, it may be in table format. Very similar but Process Scoping Steps...

The e-records rule uses many terms that must be understood to grasp fully the intent of the rule. FDA defines electronic records as any combination of text, graphics, data, audio, pictorial, or other information presented in digital form that is created, modified, maintained, archived, retrieved, or distributed by a computer system . A printout of a computer file is not the actual electronic record itself Electronic records include other relevant data, such as which user made a change, the time and date that the change was made, etc. 

In most cases, the data that you use for clinical trial analyses are found in some kind of computer file external to the SAS System. The data you need may be found in a permanent SAS data set, a relational database table found in Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server, a Microsoft Access or Excel file, a simple delimited ASCII text file, or even an XML file. In any case SAS provides a wide array of ways in which to import data files into SAS. We explore these tools and the advantages and disadvantages of each in this chapter. 

A record is a piece of information permanently or semi-permanently preserved on a particular medium. A laboratory will generate a large number of records in various forms (such as paper, photographic film, computer files, video or audio tape). For the purposes of this book, the spoken word does not constitute a record unless it is recorded in some way. These records encapsulate the what, how, when, why and who of any activity. In the following sections, discussions... 

Many of the examples throughout the book are solved with the E-Z Solve software. In such cases, the computer file containing the program code and solution is cited. These file names are of the form exa-b.msp, where ex designates an example problem, a the chapter number, and b the example number within that chapter. These computer files are included with the software package, and can be readily viewed by anyone who has obtained the E-Z Solve software accompanying this text. Furthermore, these example files can be manipulated so that end-of-chapter problems can be solved using the software.

Wherever possible, analytical systems are automated and directly interfaced to a laboratory data system. This mainly receives information from an Optical Mark Registration (OMR) system, or from down loaded computer files, and then produces a work schedule which is printed for the analyst and transferred electronically to the instrument.

With the advance in computer technology and the increased use of computer networks, many laboratories are making SOPs available in electronic form via read-only central computer files. Electronic SOPs help ensure that aU personnel are using the current version of an SOP, reduce or eliminate the need for distribution of paper copies of the SOPs, and reduce or eliminate the need for follow-up to ensure that SOP manuals are updated properly. A master, hard copy version of the SOPs that is authorized, signed, and dated by management still must be retained in the archives, and the historical file of SOPs should also contain hard copy versions that have been authorized, signed, and dated by management. Like hard copy SOPs, electronic SOPs must be readily available to study personnel. 

The dlchloromethane-soluble fraction of POM showed a consistent association with the sulfate factor. Previous summer studies (29, 30) have Indicated correlations between this fraction and ozone. As sulfate and ozone are strongly correlated during the summer months in the northeastern part of the U.S. (31), there may be a stronger association between DCM and ozone than DCM and sulfate. As of this date, the ozone data have been obtained from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation but have not been entered into the computer files. 

Finally, the results are presented and the raw data from analysis is archived, if possible, as non-rewritable computer files. All of these important aspects of an analysis can be found in official texts under the heading Good Laboratory Practice or GLP.

The potential storage of the mass spectrometer output in digital form has made possible the matching of mass fractograms against computer file stored reference data and hence the rapid identification of the material so that multi-component systems, after prior separation by GC or LC techniques, can be analyzed within the time frame required for the thruput of the sample...
