Biomatic Relocates Laboratory Equipment for Synta Pharmaceuticals

Franklin, MA  (July 2005) -- Biomatic successfully completed the relocation of Synta Pharmaceuticals' laboratories to a new, expanded facility in Lexington, MA. Biomatic was selected by the biotechnology company to be Project Manager in the shift to Synta's new location in Greater Boston.

The relocation project included the dismantling and packing of various lab equipment from three departments in two locations as well as coordination of the move with the moving vendor and Synta's Facility Management.

In addition to moving laboratory equipment, Biomatic also oversaw the move of Synta's Analytical and Biology departments and validation of instruments after the move. Biomatic's relocation services included:

Through well-planned coordination with Synta Facility Management and the overseeing of the selected moving and chemical waste management vendors, Biomatic's team of technical staff provided expert services for Synta's important relocation. 

All components in each system were identified, including cables, communication connections, and fluidic lines, which were packaged separately and then packed with each system to assure each system was properly identified and each component was available for faster setup and less lab downtime. The majority of the HPLC and LC systems connected to mass spectrophotometers were running within 2-3 days after dismantling. In addition, all IQ, OQ, PQ qualifications were performed as planned.

The result was a 100% successful relocation with no instrument damage during the move. The move produced a fast turn around with minimal instrument downtime for Synta, all at a competitive price.

In addition to relocation services for sophisticated laboratories, Biomatic offers multi-vendor IQ OQ PQ validation as well as service and maintenance on laboratory equipment. Biomatic has performed IQ OQ PQ/PV validations on more than a thousand analytical systems and temperature-controlled devices such as environmental chambers, freezers, humidity and CO2 incubators, standard and walk-in refrigerators, and ovens across the United States. Our experienced technical chemists validate instruments using real-world testing procedures and NIST / vendor traceable tools and standards.

As well as having the expertise, Biomatic is positioned to assist companies no matter where their labs are located. We have offices in the Greater Boston region; at Bayer Pharmaceuticals in West Haven, CT; and the Research Triangle Park, NC. Biomatic also travels across the U.S. providing validation services from California to Florida.

Biomatic invites you to bring your validation and compliance questions to us as well as your other laboratory challenges so that we can improve your laboratory's operation, whether for a GMP/GLP regulated facility or a standard laboratory.
