Biopharma
In biopharmaceutical research, the potential for sample degradation exists at every level of the supply chain. Proper chain-of-custody documentation and good laboratory practice (GLP) standards can prevent corruption of samples, but biopharma labs may not have systems in place that allow for operational transparency among internal and external parties and suppliers.
Simplicis has years of experience developing customized sample management solutions for research laboratories. We conduct a thorough analysis of workflows, hardware, and software to identify opportunities for process improvement and sample control. We then integrate solutions, building APIs that unite disparate components and remove data silos.
Investigating Faults
Errors and procedural deviations are often attributed to operators, but if the same types of deviations occur repeatedly, the cause may be a deficiency in the workflow. A system in which all components are well maintained and communicating effectively should prevent most human errors. Simplicis will collect documentation, inspect components, and interview operators to determine how to correct deficiencies.
In a survey of 700 laboratory scientists, lab managers listed instrument maintenance and downtime as their top challenge in day-to-day operations.*
Our proprietary laboratory information management system – Ledger – provides analytic insights about system operations and processes, helping lab managers identify deficiencies and errors.
Predicting Outcomes
Biopharma labs may be working with microbial samples, blood products, and other biospecimens that all have unique atmospheric and transport guidelines. With Ledger, you can monitor sample storage, restrict inventory access, and ensure samples are compatible with media, solvents, and labware.
Developing Compliance
Simplicis can you help you identify potential shortcomings in assay development, sample management, and biosimilar analysis procedures, mitigating risks before they become costly disruptions.
With our ongoing support, and with the reporting capabilities of Ledger, you can continually improve upon your own processes to increase efficiency and enhance data quality. Contact us today.
