TechTalk: Scaling bioanalysis through automation with expert CRO insights
Friday, March 13 at 16:00 GMT | 17:00 CET | 12:00 EDT | 09:00 PDT
As bioanalysis demands continue to rise, driven by expanding study portfolios, accelerated timelines, and fluctuating project volumes, CROs and pharmaceutical organizations are under increasing pressure to scale efficiently while maintaining regulatory‑ready data quality. Automation is becoming essential for meeting these expectations, enabling teams to increase throughput without adding operational complexity or additional headcount.
This SelectScience® TechTalk brings together valuable CRO insight from an expert working at the forefront of modern bioanalysis: Andrew Hall, Senior Laboratory Supervisor at Labcorp Drug Development. He will discuss how automated Gyrolab® immunoassay workflows are being implemented to boost productivity, reduce hands‑on time, and deliver consistent pharmacokinetics (PK) data across diverse study types.
In just 20 minutes, attendees will gain practical guidance on how automation is reshaping bioanalytical operations, supporting flexible scaling and helping teams meet rising regulatory expectations in today’s demanding scientific environment.
Key learning objectives:
- Gain insight into real-world implementation of Gyrolab immunoassay systems in a CRO environment.
- Understand how automated Gyrolab workflows support high-throughput bioanalysis without increasing operational complexity.
- Learn how CROs manage variable study volumes and aggressive timelines using standardized, automated assays.
- Explore strategies to reduce hands-on time and analyst variability while maintaining data quality and reproducibility.
- Identify opportunities to improve resource efficiency and turnaround times in PK bioanalysis.
Who should attend?
- Bioanalytical and DMPK leadership, including heads of bioanalysis/PK/DMPK, CRO scientific and operational directors, and laboratory leads in pharma and CROs
- Hands‑on bioanalytical innovators, including bioanalytical scientists, assay development and method transfer teams, laboratory automation leaders, and project managers overseeing bioanalytical timelines
