Synchron
Enhancing Clinical Laboratory Productivity with Automation

The pharmaceutical industry has significantly influenced laboratory automation trends in the past two decades. The need to screen large collections of chemical entities in a short time with minimised consumption of reagents has been driving strong demand for automation, simplification solutions, labware, assay technologies, and other laboratory automation solutions over the years. However, as the world still struggles with the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there is added pressure on the pharma and clinical labs to ensure more rapid turnarounds. It is, in turn, driving even greater demand for cutting-edge laboratory automation solutions from pharma and clinical labs to ensure swift turnaround time, like automated liquid handling products, microplate readers, and robotic systems.

Enter Synchron, an innovative laboratory automation solution provider specialising in the development of automated liquid handling products. Notably, Synchron focuses on designing innovative, cost-effective, and customised automated liquid handling products that cater to pharmacists’ unique business needs and laboratory systems. On that front, the company is a leading supplier of inventive multi-tipped robotic XYZ liquid handling systems and robot-friendly functional modules.

To this extent, the company has developed FlexiMate—an automated, low to medium throughput, modular, and scalable platform offering flexible integration of liquid handling capabilities with features intended for seamless integration into most instruments. Similarly, Synchron Xperimate is a modular robotic pipetting platform from the company that combines flexible liquid handling with robotic manipulation of microplates and other devices.

Interestingly, Synchron Xperimate is designed to simplify system integration and stand-alone robotic automation, integrating modules like shakers, heaters, vacuum modules, and the robot-friendly microplate.

Particularly, the company’s germination systems allow pharmacists to store plates or trays in different formats and configurations. In this regard, the company has developed a scalable building block principal system that scales from a few plates and trays to several thousand for automated root analysis. The system can be equipped with liquid handling and a balance to monitor the weight constantly. And also, the software enables pharmacists to schedule imaging and automate the entry and retrieval of a large batch of plates or trays using a trolley-based system.

Going the extra mile, Synchron has also developed a storage system that automatically stores plates, trays, or vials. The system can load manually or via a trolley for high throughput and is modular to match user requirements for throughput and capacity. Besides, if required, it can be installed in a climate-controlled environment as well.

Synchron’s extensive experience in the areas of lab functionality and management indeed differentiates the company from other laboratory automation solution providers. Having helped countless clients overcome their laboratory management problems, Synchron understands the typical challenges pharmacists face with their workflow, and as such, Synchron tries to resolve these hurdles proactively for its clients. Moving ahead, Synchron is determined to follow its current trajectory in the laboratory automation sector. The company is continually looking at new solutions to expand its digital ecosystem and bring more flexibility and efficiency in laboratory management.
