Problem
Laboratory teams in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors often rely on manual instrument control and disparate data capture methods, which makes it difficult to maintain 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, ensure data integrity, and achieve consistent, high‑throughput testing for dissolution and color quality.
Solution
Galenicode delivers two purpose‑built software platforms—ARGUS/Dissolution and ARGUS/Color—that automate instrument control, data acquisition, processing, and regulatory‑compliant reporting. ARGUS/Dissolution centralizes dissolution, assay, content uniformity, and spectrometer qualification workflows while embedding electronic signatures and audit trails required for Part 11 compliance. ARGUS/Color leverages UV/VIS spectroscopy to perform rapid, automated color matching and quality control for dyestuff manufacturing, supporting both at‑line laboratory and in‑line process monitoring. Both solutions integrate with complementary hardware such as the Micamix dynamic dilutor and provide built‑in validation documentation, training, and installation services to streamline deployment and maintain data integrity across the product lifecycle.
Target Audience
The primary customers are quality‑control, R&D, and manufacturing laboratories in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and dyestuff industries that require compliant, automated testing and data management solutions.
