How Lab Automation For Pharmaceutical Research Cuts Development Time

Manual dissolution work slows projects and increases risk. Analysts juggle repetitive steps, watch timers, and hand-record results. The outcome is predictable: bottlenecks, rework, and uneven data quality. When discovery teams wait for QC feedback, cycles stretch and decisions stall. Compliance adds pressure, because every step must be traceable and repeatable. Lab Automation For Pharmaceutical Research is how Raytor helps teams move faster, protect data integrity, and unlock consistent results across every batch.

At Raytor, we design systems that remove these frictions. Automation standardizes tasks such as media dispensing, temperature control, sampling, and vessel cleaning. It reduces human error and keeps conditions stable batch after batch. Your scientists regain time for method development, analysis, and problem-solving - activities that actually push a molecule forward.

Shorter turnaround is only part of the value. Reliable, structured data speeds method transfer and supports regulatory reviews. When your audit trail is complete and accessible, you spend less time looking for records and more time improving formulations. That is how automation turns day-to-day QC into a strategic advantage for discovery teams.

Raytor's RT9 Series: Automation That Accelerates

Meet the Raytor RT9 Series Multi-batch Automatic Dissolution System - an automated dissolution testing system engineered for throughput and confidence. It performs 10 consecutive batch tests unattended while maintaining precise temperature and speed control. The system dispenses and removes media with high precision, then completes vessel cleaning using optimized spray techniques that reduce contamination risk across batches.

✅  Lab Automation For Pharmaceutical Research: Automated, Compliant, Clean

Our design focuses on three essentials - repeatability, integrity, and ease of use:

•  10-batch efficiency, unattended: Automatically completes all 10 dissolution runs without supervision, freeing staff for higher-value work.

•  Exact media handling: High-precision dispensing and removal keep conditions consistent and results comparable.

•  Thorough vessel cleaning: Optimized spray coverage (no dead angles) and configurable fluids/times lower carryover risk between runs.

•  High-end autosampler with online filtering: Supports storage and automatic replacement of secondary filters for clean, reliable sampling.

•  Unlimited data storage: Store methods and records for at least 15 years without the risk of overwriting.

•  Real-time monitoring & data integrity: FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant dissolution workflows with strong audit trails.

•  USP 1/2 methods ready: Basket and paddle methods are supported to meet regulatory specifications across national pharmacopoeias.

In practice, this means fewer stops and resets, fewer manual touchpoints, and fewer surprises in the data. Raytor automation brings stable conditions to every batch so method comparisons are true comparisons - not artifacts of handling differences.

✅  Designed for QC and Method Transfer

The RT9 Series supports common product types - general tablets, immediate-release tablets, enteric tablets, and extended-release tablets - so a single platform can serve both development and routine QC. Because USP 1/2 (basket and paddle) methods are the most widely used legal dissolution approaches, the instrument slots smoothly into existing SOPs and training programs. Teams can move methods from lab to lab with minimal friction, because the system's automation keeps parameters tight and documentation complete.

From QC to Discovery: Turning Speed into Impact

When dissolution testing scales cleanly to 10 batches and runs on autopilot, discovery cadence changes. You can screen more formulations in parallel. You can iterate methods faster because each run is stable and auditable. Online filtering and precise media control reduce variability, so outliers are easier to interpret. The result is a clearer, quicker picture of which formulations deserve the next experiment or the next investment.

For leadership, the benefits are simple: higher asset velocity and better use of expert time. For QA and RA, complete electronic records and long-term storage simplify inspections and internal reviews. For scientists, fewer repetitive tasks mean more thinking and more experimentation. This is Lab Automation For Pharmaceutical Research doing its best work - quietly removing friction while the science advances.
