Abstract

An Efficient and Straight Forward Inventory System at a Growing Drug Discovery CRO

Ting Quin

Within a growing drug discovery CRO (Contract Research Organization) of hundreds of scientists, includ- ing
chemists, biologists, and DMPK scientists across multiple sites, a KISS (Keep It Simple and Straightforward) and
centralized inventory system to manage information on tens of thousands of chemical containers, including location
and status, is becoming increasingly important, so that scientists can easily find necessary chemicals. In the
meantime, scientists would like to conveniently update the location or status of a chemical container while moving or
trashing chemical containers. In this article, we will describe an innovative facility, namely, the ScanStation, that has
been implemented at Sygnature Discovery Ltd. in order to meet these requirements.
