Total laboratory automation in the pharmaceutical industry

With these automatic safety procedures in place, not only can the manufacturing chemist run a process with fewer manual interactions, they can also leave the system unattended, knowing there are appropriate protocols in place to protect the system in a worst-case scenario. As the power of automation increases, so will the capability of the modern chemist. At the laboratory scale, more samples can be tested with better accuracy and granularity for an increased understanding of the chemical process. During scale-up, automation allows for safe design of the manufacturing procedure, identifying possible hazards and risks. At the manufacturing scale, automation allows for safe processes to be completed day in, day out, without any loss of productivity, quality or system control. © 2020 HPCi Media LTD.
