The Successful Leap of Faith for an Established Chromatography Lab
Taking the leap of faith - Patheon as CDMO (now Thermo Fisher Scientific Pharma Services) was able to change their existing liquid chromatography equipment fleet in regulated laboratories to a completely new provider. We will talk about a change on a scale that would typically make people in analytical labs very nervous indeed.
The lessons learned will include:
- Identifying and resolving challenges with bringing in a new instrument vendor
- Overcoming technical challenges with third party software and driver connectivity
- Understanding how to accommodate method transfer
- How to introduce staff to new vendor solutions
- Identifying and cultivating internal champions - Recognizing and celebrating success
This session includes a presentation and Q&A time set aside for you to ask your questions from our expert.
