Losing parts, shortages, warranty management, customer service and unwanted inventory growth can quickly swamp internal resources, while eating away at otherwise attractive profit margins.

The current drug discovery processes in many pharmaceutical companies require large collections of small molecules for use in high throughput screening assays (HTS). More recently, many drug discovery companies are increasing the size and quality of their compound collections through internal and/or outsourcing efforts of targeted compound libraries for new lead generation. These major milestones are 'hit' series identifi cation, lead compounds identifi cation, clinical compound selection, entry into human studies and fi nally regulatory approval for a new drug.
