Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c2f426/compound_managemen) has announced the addition of the “Compound Management Trends 2008” report to their offering.
This market report summarizes the results of HTStec™s second global pharma and biotech web-based benchmarking survey on compound management carried out in January 2008.
The study was initiated to gain a better awareness of the metrics behind current and future compound management (CM) practices within pharmaceutical, biotech and other life science research establishments. The survey focus was on liquid stores, with particular emphasis on learning how the makeup of corporate compound collections and the activities of CM groups have evolved. The report provides valuable information for vendors developing automated CM storage and retrieval technologies by providing them with the latest market intelligence in this area.
The survey looked at the following aspects of CM amongst others: corporate collection/library size; % collection available for screening; % exclusive compounds; details of existing CM stores; the QC./AQ tests routinely performed and the timing of the testing; the technologies being investigated for real time/HT sample QC analysis both within the CM store and off-line; plans to purchase any new fully-automated CM storage system in the next few years; future directions of CM; plans to expand CM activities to manage biological samples; and the biggest challenges to existing requirements expected to be encountered in the new few years. In many of these questions feedback was obtained for 2008 together with best estimates for the future (2010).
