Bringing a new drug on the market is a long and expensive process. Biopharmaceutical companies spend around $1 billion in R&D per therapeutic product and the recent pandemics have highlighted the necessity of accelerating the deployment of new targeted drugs.
Developing a new drug starts with finding the optimum procedure for generating each protein candidate. This requires many iterations and adjustments of multiple parameters until the best result is obtained and a tailored protocol established.
Documenting each parameter change and consequent observation is crucial for reducing the number of iterations, facilitating troubleshooting and finally defining the standard protocol for expressing the new protein.
Therefore, scientists are often either interrupting their workflow to write down their notes or, in case the step is time-sensitive, keeping the information in memory until the end of the current experiment step. This generates an extra cognitive load, potential human errors and generally a poorer documentation, all of it slowing down the procedure.
Today, it is manifest that the Lab of the Future will be digital, seamless and connected and many pharmaceutical companies need to undertake digital initiatives to stay at the forefront of Drug Discovery and Development.
LabTwin provides a unique solution by introducing hands-free voice-powered lab documentation at the point of experimentation.
