Webinar topics will include:

• LabVantage® and Lonza Vision to Integrate MODA™ Solution with LIMS
• Pfizer's Rationale to Augment LIMS with Purpose-built QC Micro Solution
• Pfizer's Previous Processes; Need for Automation and Integration with LIMS
• Pfizer's New Automated QC Micro Program
• Why Pfizer Selected LabVantage Micro/EM™, powered by MODA™
• Pfizer's Plans for the Future

This webinar will discuss and demonstrate: 1) QC automation best practices that Pfizer is implementing across some of its global manufacturing facilities, and 2) the functionality gap between standalone LIMS and today’s requirements in QC Micro for EM, utility, and product testing.

Topics will be relevant to both IT and business audiences.

Pfizer achieves improved EM utilizing Micro/EM™ solution powered by MODA™
Paper-based processes still burden most QC Micro programs: paper scheduling, sharpie pen labeling of sample media, manual reconciliation, paper log book entry, and manual notification on deviations. These steps are labor-intensive, time consuming, and yield duplication of tasks and high error rates.

Pfizer, the world’s leading biopharmaceutical company with a diversified global health care portfolio, has successfully implemented LabVantage Micro/EM™, powered by MODA™—a paperless QC Micro solution by Lonza. As a result, Pfizer is achieving their goal to automate their QC processes and regulatory compliance across some of their global manufacturing facilities.

In May 2010, MODA became a Lonza company. What started as a company-wide initiative to eliminate waste, reduce lead and labor time, and improve overall compliance, inspired a robust informatics platform for the life sciences industry.
