Automating a high value laboratory process

42T’s client was able to invest in a complex piece of automation equipment with confidence that it would put them on the right path for their business, having understood the functional and commercial trade-offs.

Our client has a high-value laboratory process that is labour intensive and required precise liquid dispensing and transfer.

What we did

Their business plan needed a significant throughput scale-up within 12 months and significant investment in automation. 42T helped determine the right system to invest in.

We evaluated the key areas of performance (precision, throughput and sample integrity) and the areas where skilful manual processing would be most challenging to automate. This led to the specification of the minimum viable platform required to do the job.

We interviewed vendors to determine the key attributes of the different platforms. This informed our recommendations of which system to invest in.

“Working with David (David Griffin, Principle Consultant, 42T) was great – he was responsive, constructive and added much value to a somewhat nebulous process.”

Our client could invest with confidence and foresight of the complex technical trade-offs between the available systems.
