Focused Analytical Automation for Pharma and CDMO

QC labs run capable instruments and capable automation, but the two rarely work as one. Samples wait. Data is re-entered by hand. Methods that work in the lab stall on the way to GMP production.

This half-day summit brings together QC and analytical leaders from Pharma and CDMO organisations around one focused theme: multi-modal analytics combined with practical, right-sized automation and digitalization. Chemspeed x Bruker show how automated sample preparation and handling connect with IR, Raman, benchtop NMR and LC-MS into workflows that deliver real value today, from raw materials and reference samples to PAT and batch release. 

Key focus areas

• Focused, right-sized automation for at-line QC, e.g. automated tablet testing (weight, thickness, hardness, content uniformity, assay)
• Automated sample preparation and handling for routine QC
• Multi-modality in QC: combining Raman and FT-NIR with benchtop NMR and LC-MS
• At-line QC deployable from the lab to GMP environments, with method transfer from lab to production
• Data quality and integrity, robustness, traceability and connectivity between instruments and data systems
• Increasing throughput and reproducibility without over-engineering the lab
• Practical implementation challenges and best-practice sharing

What you take away

• Concrete patterns for connecting automated sample preparation with IR, Raman, NMR and LC-MS analytics
• Honest accounts from peers of what fails during implementation, and why
• Solution patterns for recurring pain points, distilled in the panel summary
• A shorter route to the people solving your specific problem

The afternoon

A small tabletop exhibition with live demonstrations runs in the main hall throughout the afternoon.
