QPCR Assay Protocol Version Control (GMP / 21 CFR Part 11)

Git-style version control for qPCR assay protocols — track every revision, change summary, author and sign-off, tuned for a GMP-regulated lab. Private and offline.

Keep an immutable, dated history of every qPCR assay protocol — each version records what changed, who changed it and its sign-off status. Built for molecular labs who need an immutable, sign-off-controlled audit trail. Nothing leaves your browser, so even unpublished methods stay confidential.

Tip: bump the minor version (v1.1 → v1.2) for small edits and the major version (v2.0) for changes that affect results. Export to CSV for your QMS or an audit.

No versions yet. Log v1.0 of your first qPCR assay protocol above — every later edit becomes a new, dated, attributable version.

For research / operational use only. Not a medical device and not a substitute for validated clinical systems or professional medical judgement. Verify against your trial protocol, IRB/ethics approval and applicable regulations (GCP, 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA/GDPR).

Free qPCR assay protocol version control and change-log for a GMP-regulated lab: track revisions, sign-offs and an audit trail entirely in your browser.

About QPCR Assay Protocol Version Control (GMP / 21 CFR Part 11)

A free, offline qPCR assay protocol version-control tool for molecular labs. Keep an immutable, dated history of every qPCR assay protocol — each version records what changed, who changed it and its sign-off status. Built for molecular labs who need an immutable, sign-off-controlled audit trail. Nothing leaves your browser, so even unpublished methods stay confidential.

How to use QPCR Assay Protocol Version Control (GMP / 21 CFR Part 11)

  1. 1Add v1.0 of your qPCR assay protocol with a short description of the method (e.g. a TaqMan or SYBR assay).
  2. 2Each time you change it, log a new version with a change summary, your name and the date — never overwrite the old one.
  3. 3Set the status as it moves through Draft / QA review / Approved / Effective / Retired, and export the full history to CSV for your records or QMS.

Why use QPCR Assay Protocol Version Control (GMP / 21 CFR Part 11)?

  • QPCR Assay Protocols evolve constantly — this gives molecular labs a Git-style history so you always know which version produced which result.
  • Each entry captures a change summary, author, date and sign-off status (Draft → QA review → Approved…), giving a GMP-regulated lab an immutable, sign-off-controlled audit trail.
  • Supports a Part-11-style mindset: dated, attributable, never-overwritten records you can export for an inspector.

Frequently asked questions

Why use version control for a qPCR assay protocol?+

Methods drift over time, and a result is only reproducible if you know exactly which version of the qPCR assay protocol produced it. Version control gives every revision a number, a change summary and an author, so you can reproduce old work, justify changes to reviewers, and onboard new molecular labs without losing institutional knowledge.

How should I number protocol versions?+

A simple semver-style scheme works well: bump the minor number (v1.1 → v1.2) for small edits like a reagent swap, and the major number (v1.x → v2.0) for changes that could affect results, such as a new incubation time or instrument. Record the rationale in the change summary so the jump is self-explanatory at audit.

Is this an electronic lab notebook (ELN)?+

It is a lightweight, offline version-control log rather than a full ELN — but it captures the part that matters most for reproducibility: a dated, attributable, immutable history of every change to a qPCR assay protocol. You can export to CSV and attach it to your ELN or QMS at any time.

Where is my data stored?+

Entirely in your browser's localStorage — no sign-up, no upload, no server. That keeps proprietary methods and unpublished IP private and means the tool works offline, which is exactly what a GMP-regulated lab needs.
