Automated QC Sample Preparation for Biologics
Labman applies deep knowledge of automated sample preparation workflows to support precision, compliance, and efficiency in biologics quality control.Labman expertise
Enabling your workflow
Bring the precision, speed and safety of qc sample preparation to your laboratory.Advanced liquid handling requirementsWe understand the importance of accurate aliquoting, temperature-controlled dispensing, and gentle agitation for preserving biologic integrity during preparation.
Sample normalisation strategiesStandardising concentrations and volumes across diverse biologic samples is critical, and we’re well-versed in the role of inline sensors and logic-based automation in achieving this.
Centrifugation and clarification workflowsCentrifuge integration, pellet resuspension, and controlled transfers play a vital role in preparing samples for downstream QC analysis.
Workflow schedulingLabman recognises the importance of precise timing and intelligent orchestration in QC sample prep, ensuring steps like incubation or mixing are reliably executed.
GMP complianceFrom audit trails to traceable reagent use, we know what’s expected in regulated environments and how automation must support electronic record-keeping and validation.
System integration and scalabilityWe understand how sample prep systems must integrate with broader lab infrastructure - such as LIMS, automated storage, or mobile robotics - and scale with production demand.
