Efficient Sample Logistics: From the Chemist to the Assay Plate and beyond

A seamless workflow from the medicinal chemist to the screening collections and then to project team assays for new chemical entities has been achieved, by using 1.4-ml 2D bar-coded tubes, an automated tube store system, and a database built in-house. A process of sample collecting, logging, shipping, and sample reformatting has been established with a ComPOUND/ ComMOTION automated tube store system at the heart of the process.
