PROBLEM<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The purification lab was struggling to processes material quickly enough, staff was overwhelmed, and upper management wanted the lab to \u201cdo more with less\u201d<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
GOALS\/SOLUTIONS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The company\u2019s lab manager needed to increase throughput, reduce lab size, and reduce staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At first these collective goals seemed unachievable. After discussions with PDR-Separations the company decided to have PDR-Separations reconfigure the company\u2019s Agilent HPLC systems to operate with PDR-Separations\u2019 automation software and hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reconfigured Agilent analytical method development systems now run automated screening sequences written by PDR-Separations using PDR-Separations\u2019 AutoMDS software with Gradient Mixers and Column Selectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reconfigured Agilent semi-prep purification systems now run automated purification methods using PDR-Separations\u2019 AutoPREP software with Injector\/Collector modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BENEFITS\/ACHIEVMENTS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Results provided by the reconfigured HPLC systems were impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Samples were processed faster and more deterministically. Because PDR-Separations\u2019 lab automation software was easy to use, did not require much attention, and was common to all systems staff had more time for other tasks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By operating the automated systems 24\/7 the company was able to eliminate some systems resulting in reduced lab space. Overall results show the Lab now processes 5 times more samples in 70% of the space with 80% of the previous staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The no longer overloaded staff are able to do more research, attend meetings and write reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The combination of a new operating procedure, better automation software, and enabling automation hardware required a few months to adapt but everyone is much happier now, including upper management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cumulative benefit of improved procedures with better automation software and automation hardware resulted in a much better ROI than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
