Evaluation of Reagents Used in Solution Preparation to Reduce Reworks in Research and Development Laboratories

Abstract

Research and development laboratories are working with improvements and discovery of new drugs. As part of their activities, they need solutions such as Buffers and Mobile Phases for analytical testing. It was found that a main reason that increase rework in solutions preparations is the unavailability of reagents. Looking for reagents for solution preparation with the correct purity grade and specifications is the main goal they face. Evaluating reagents, purchasing and establishing a tool for reagent reorder will reduce significantly rework and waste generated due to incorrect reagent used. Key Words ⎯ Purity Grade, Reagent Inventory, Solution Preparation, Waste Reduction.
