Molecular assays are essential to bioanalysis, but inconsistent practices, non-prescriptive regulatory guidance, and a lack of standardized protocols create variability in execution and validation. At the same time, the high volume and complexity of raw data make manual transcription and tabulation, error-prone and inefficient, slowing QC/QA review, risking data integrity, and straining compliance with regulatory timelines.

Red Thread Script, part of the Red Thread solution, automates tabulation of data from raw data obtained from instruments, performs critical statistical calculations such as mean and %CV, while applying user-defined acceptance criteria to annotate results with consistency and accuracy. It also derives best-fit line equations and enables real-time, interactive data interpolation, supporting objective decision-making and minimizing reliance on manual interpretation.
Fully validated, Red Thread Script provides interim data checks that streamline review processes for both Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) teams by eliminating the need for interim QC checks.

Frequently Asked Questions about Red Thread Script Security, Validation, & Data Input/Output
Is Red Thread Script secure and/or validated?
Yes, Red Thread Script is validated, and BioData can provide Operational Qualification / Performance Qualification for user validation. To ensure the security of your data, Red Thread is ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type 2 attested. Red Thread complies with 21 CFR Part 11, CSV, GxP, FDA, and EMA regulations, and GDPR. Red Thread provides access control, audit trails, data encryption, and numerous other features to ensure your data remains secure.
What are the input and output files required for Red Thread Script?
The input file is directly exported from QuantStudio. The output file is an Excel file containing data tables, inclusive of basic statistical analysis performed on the data, annotations made to the data based on the acceptance criteria submitted, and the data from interactive interpolation for calibration standards and regression.
