New microplate reader software helps laboratories apply appropriate controls as workflows evolve from discovery toward more regulated environments
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Molecular Devices, a Danaher company and a leading provider of high‑performance life science solutions, today introduced SoftMax® Pro 7.6 GLP Mode, the newest addition to the SoftMax Pro 7.6 GxP Software Suite. Designed to support laboratories at different stages of compliance maturity, the new GLP Mode helps teams strengthen data integrity, traceability, and workflow oversight, creating more defendable records, stronger accountability across users, and greater confidence in their data as compliance expectations evolve, without adding unnecessary complexity. The expanded suite helps laboratories apply the right level of control as their work progresses from development and non-clinical research toward more regulated environments.
As biotechnology and pharmaceutical programs advance, laboratories face growing expectations for secure data management, consistent workflow execution, traceable audit trail review, and audit-ready reporting in trusted, controlled software environments. SoftMax Pro 7.6 GLP Mode helps bridge the gap for development-stage laboratories that may not require the extensive infrastructure associated with GMP operations but still need practical governance and oversight tools.
"Customers need compliance solutions that evolve alongside their science, while maintaining consistency across teams, workflows, and operating environments," said Mary Duseau, President of Molecular Devices. "By expanding the SoftMax Pro GxP Software Suite with a purpose-built GLP option, laboratories can take the next practical step toward stronger oversight without adding unnecessary complexity. This connected approach helps teams standardize workflows, strengthen confidence in their data, and accelerate progress from discovery to impact across organizations and geographies."
SoftMax Pro 7.6 GLP Mode adds enhanced user management, electronic signatures, audit-ready reporting, and controls that help standardize data management across teams. As part of the broader SoftMax Pro 7.6 GxP Software Suite, the new mode gives biotechnology, pharmaceutical, contract research, and translational research organizations a practical way to increase oversight of plate reader data and support evolving compliance expectations.
Compatible with the full line of SoftMax Pro SpectraMax® microplate readers, the SoftMax Pro 7.6 GxP Software Suite is now available worldwide. Learn more here.
