Focus On: Compound Management System
Critical to novel drug discovery and development is in vitro bio-testing, which often involves a large number of samples in a plate format, along with data to be prepared, processed, stored and retrieved. Precision, accuracy, reproducibility and efficiency are key criteria for the success of the in vitro assays. Pharmaron has developed Compound Management System, a tailor-made system that includes strong IP protection to meet these criteria.
The system is composed of a high throughput liquid/plates handling platform and a secured sample storage platform, complemented by sophisticated data management and processing software, such as Mosaic and ActivityBase. A dedicated and well-trained team of scientists, together with a vigorous QC process embedded throughout the entire system, ensures that each step supporting the assay needs of in vitro biology, in vitro ADME and ex vivo pharmacology is of high quality. The Compound Management System has contributed to the success of a significant number of assays run with outstanding precision, accuracy and reproducibility, for panel/counter and project-based screenings.
