The Success of Chemishield at a Leading Biotech Facility
.webp)
About The Client
This biotech research facility is a key player in the development of advanced biologics and gene therapies, with operations spanning early-stage research to clinical trial manufacturing. Located within a major European life sciences hub, the site employs over 120 scientists and technical staff working in high-compliance, high-throughput environments.
Handling a broad range of hazardous, cytotoxic, and chemical substances, the facility is subject to strict oversight from environmental, health, and pharmaceutical regulators. Maintaining safety and operational precision is critical at every stage of the waste lifecycle.
The Challenge
Prior to Chemishield, waste management was fragmented and reactive. Staff relied on handwritten logs and separate spreadsheets, leading to:
- Manual double-entry and slow reporting
- Risk of mislabelled or misrouted waste containers
- Difficulty maintaining segregation compliance
- Limited insight into real-time storage levels
- Inefficient coordination of waste pickups and audits
The team needed a compliant, centralised, and user-friendly solution that could scale with the growing complexity of biotech R&D.
Before Chemishield, our team spent hours every week maintaining records and chasing compliance issues. Now, we have total confidence in our data, and audits are quick and stress-free. Dr. Nina Clarke, Senior QC Scientist
WHY CHEMISHIELD
Chemishield was chosen for its ability to digitize and automate hazardous waste handling without disrupting existing lab workflows. The platform now supports waste logging, QR-coded labeling, and container tracking across the entire facility—on both desktop and mobile devices.
Built-in prompts ensure correct segregation, while real-time dashboards give EHS and QC teams full oversight into waste volumes, locations, and audit status. Automated documentation has significantly reduced the burden of preparing for inspections and improved traceability across all departments.
The Results
Since implementation, Chemishield has transformed the facility’s approach to compliance, safety, and sustainability. Time spent on waste documentation has dropped significantly, and the site now operates with greater confidence and control.
