CASE STUDY
Please take a look at the following case studies to see how Xyntek has implemented "turn-key" solutions for the leading companies in the Life Sciences Industry.
Batch Control Solution - Fluid Handling System for Tissue Purification Process
Xyntek, Inc. provided a turn-key automated fluid handling system that was developed for a tissue purification process, for a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing tissue transplants. The system was designed in accordance with the ISA S88 batch processing standards and principles. Rockwell Automation products were utilized during design and development of HMI/SCADA, recipe management, defining batch operations, as well as communication and network management. The system architected the SQL Server database and was validated to ensure compliance with 21 CFR Part 11. The new automated system resulted in over 50% increase in performance and throughput, and dramatically reduced human error involved in the operation, thereby increased efficiency and at the same time improved quality of operations.
LIMS Solution - Watson LIMS Implementation
Working closely with our client, a leading biotechnology company in PA, Xyntek has designed and implemented a LIMS & GxP Laboratory data management solution that interfaces with several laboratory instruments, including liquid handlers, analytical ultra-centrifuges, chromatography data systems, plate reader systems, flow cytometry systems, and spectroscopy systems. As part of designing, Xyntek has evaluated the GxP business-critical processes, technical, and regulatory requirements to ensure that the optimal solution was achieved. The level of customization was quantified to meet with study processes and analysis techniques used by the end-users.
21 CFR Part 11 Gap Analysis & Remediation using CyberLAB - Data/Content Management Solution
For one of our leading clients, conducted 658 system assessments for GMP and GLP regulated analytical research systems and instruments in over 115 labs found in the Drug Evaluation, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Development, and Preclinical Development divisions, for the clients 21 CFR Part 11 program.  Systems included HPLCs, GCs, GC/MS, LC/MS, Arrays, NMRs, Plate Readers, Scintillation Counters, UV and FL Spectroscopy, UV/Vis Dissolution, TOC, LIMS, and other stand-alone instruments & computer controlled equipment.  Activities included system assessments and Gap Analysis, vendor audits, development of system specific Corrective Action Plans, procedural and/or technical remediation solutions, and re-validation. Implemented CyberLAB, a knowledge engineering system to collect, organize, warehouse and archive all structured and unstructured electronic records to create a secure, 21 CFR Part 11 compliant, centralized electronic libraries. 
Drug Discovery - Compound Fulfillment System Development & Implementation
Developed a compound filfillment system for one of the top five pharmaceutical companies of the world. The project involved development of software modules that interfaced and communicated with automated tube stores (Thurnall), vertical storage carousels (Titan), laser pointing systems (ITX-LPS), liquid handling automation (Tecan, Packard, TAP, TomTec), labeling/weighing automation (Bohdan), weigh scales (Sartorius), barcode printers (Zebra), and barcode scanners (Symbol, 2D matrix). Designed and developed a compound storage retrieval system, which supports a compound inventory of over 4 million dry/soluble compounds. Validated the entire compound fulfillment system for 21 Part CFR 11 compliance, and provided review and documentation. Reengineered and redesigned the compound fulfillment system by integrating islands of automation. As a result, compound order fulfillment was increased over 100%. 
Laboratory Automation System Implementation
Provided Laboratory Automation of CACO2 Cells to one of our leading clients, which resulted in use of 59 axis of robotics movement, CRS Robotics, TECAN Liquid Handlers, HotPak Incubators, Refrigerators, Accusort Bar Code Scanners, Zymark Label Printers, Sealers, Heater/Chiller Units, PLC’s, & instrumentation.  Xyntek was involved in process analysis, design & documentation, user requirements, functional design specifications, software & hardware architectural design, software programming, hardware configuration, testing, UAT, validation and documentation.  The software development resulted in full integration of all the above equipment.  The whole operation from retrieving the trays, to running the cell feeding and permeability assays, to storage was fully automatic.  The software could be accessed remotely, and using the camera view function, the lab could be fully monitored not only through the software functions but also through the cameras. The final solution was fully validated and was 21 CFR-11 compliant.
