Comound library management
HomeBase - storage & retrieval of compound libraries
Compound management has successfully addressed the challenge of scale up in quantity through the use of automation. Now compound managers are being tasked with improving the quality of materials supplied to screening on one hand, and supporting on-demand requests for library subsets, dynamic screening and profiling on the other.
  In order to support these new requirements, TAP is continually developing its storage products to facilitate higher throughput and to incorporate compound QC.
  In addition, the consistency of automated handling provides greatly improved levels of process integrity, facilitating validation to GLP where necessary.
 

HomeBase is a narrow aisle based automated system for the storage and retrieval of compound libraries.

  Each HomeBase store is a unique configuration of storage frames, sized to fit available space and catering for a variety of storage capacities, picking rates, temperatures and multiple vessel types. It operates at any temperature from above ambient down to -20°C, with most compound solution installations being either +4°C or -20°C.
  HomeBase efficiently stores multiple single-use aliquots in 384-way individually coded PicoTubes®, together with the library of mother tubes from which these aliquots can be replenished when necessary.
 
  • HomeBase is installed at major sites worldwide in applications such as DNA and compound management, as well as protein crystallography

Solar - integrated sample storage and processing for liquid compounds
  Solar is a fully automated sample storage and processing system which allows “on demand” production of assay plate sets from large compound libraries, freeing up research staff, and reducing turnaround time from weeks and months to one or two days.
  Solar routinely manages large transaction volumes demanded by HTS, as well as rapidly resolving custom secondary and tertiary follow-up plate creation requests.
 
  • Solar has been installed at a number of leading pharmaceutical companies, including GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis and Procter & Gamble

Concerto - inventory management software for compounds and reagents
  Concerto is a flexible inventory management software suite for managing the tracking, ordering and processing of valuable inventories such as compounds and reagents.
  It is the ideal solution for compound groups facing one or more of the following challenges:
 
  • Managing inventory that is dispersed across multiple research sites
  • Responding rapidly and cost-effectively to shifting demands from the research community
  • Integrating diverse automation platforms from multiple vendors
  • Concerto is in use at a number of major pharmaceutical sites worldwide
