PERFORM DIVERSE DILUTION STUDIES
For GMP regulated quality assurance laboratories a precise definition of automated process steps is crucial to assure the validation of the workflow. The dilution routine process is able to prepare various dilutions due to formulas coming from a predefined Excel file.
Dilution Process Targets: The variation coefficient for pipetting should range from ≤ 1.5% for stock solution and ≤ 0.5% for dilution solvent
With this process a throughput of 160 dilutions in an 8 h working day is achievable with a preparation time of maximum 180 seconds per dilution.
