On Demand Webinar – The Importance of Digitalizing Pharma and Biopharma Laboratories
Why Digitalize Your Laboratory? Learn More about the Inherent Business Benefits and Increasing Regulatory Expectations
Programma
- Why pharma and biopharma laboratories should increasingly digitalize their laboratories
- The key business benefits that such digitalization brings – not only to the laboratory but to the entire company's value chain
- The increasing regulatory expectations in relation to automation and digitalization, such as, those within the forthcoming EU GMP Annex 11
- The value of knowledge management, with ICH Q10 as guidance
Pharma and biopharma companies stand to benefit enormously from the increased digitalization of their laboratories.
On the one hand there are substantial benefits in terms of time, accuracy, better trend analysis, and faster release of product from Q&A labs, for example, and on the other hand digitalization is increasingly expected by various regulators.
As a case in point, two particular proposals within the updated EU GMP Annex 11 highlight that:
- there is an increased expectation of advancements in data integrity, ideally using technical solutions and automation and
- an expectation of overall digital transformation within laboratories.
Gunnar Danielson of METTLER TOLEDO will delve into these topics with two keynote experts - Peter Baker and Bob McDowall.
