Large molecule development & manufacturing
Labman helps biopharmaceutical organisations accelerate large molecule development through custom automation solutions for upstream, downstream, analytical and QC workflowsKey services
Transform your large molecule lab processes with Labman’s advanced technological solutions.Modular and scalableStart with a focused workflow and expand to additional bioreactors, preparation operations, analysers, storage capacity or laboratories.
Controlled environmentsApply localised containment or environmental control to sensitive operations without necessarily enclosing the complete system.
Vendor-agnostic integrationConnect equipment from different manufacturers and retain the instruments already established in your laboratory.
Connected samples and dataMaintain sample identity and workflow records while connecting physical automation with instrument and laboratory data systems.
Designed for non-plate workflowsAutomate tubes, vials, vessels and other specialist consumables that do not fit conventional plate-based automation.
Regulated-workflow readySupport traceability, controlled access, auditability and defined documentation or validation requirements appropriate to the application.
Adaptable by designAccommodate changing assays, equipment, labware, throughput and process requirements.
A pathway towards greater autonomyIntroduce automation in manageable stages while building towards increasingly connected and autonomous laboratory operation.
Optimising all aspects of your process from R&D to manufacturing.
Labman’s large molecule automation solutions support complex biologics workflows, from R&D and pre-clinical testing through to clinical trials and GMP manufacturing. Our custom systems help automate cell and gene therapy, vaccine, antibody and recombinant protein processes, improving traceability, containment, scalability and workflow control.Automate the samples journey
