5 Reasons Not To Outsource Your Buffer Preparation

Written by Life in the Lab Staff | Published: 12.17.2019

Whilst the popularity of outsourcing buffer preparation is increasing, it won’t always be the right choice. The opportunities offered by outsourcing are inevitably accompanied by some concerns. These may include:

  1.      Loss of flexibility

Can an outsource partner meet my needs? What if my requirements change, can they easily adapt?

  1.      Loss of control

What happens if something goes wrong? Who is making the decisions?

  1.      Quality: Expectation vs Reality

How do I know I’ll get what my process requires?

  1.      Lack of integration

Can an outsource partner’s approach seamlessly integrate with my own processes?

  1.      Cost

Is the greater upfront cost justified?

 

It’s important to ask the hard questions when considering outsourcing your buffer preparation. And there are many variables which will determine whether it is the right time and circumstances for you.

The good news is that most issues can be reduced or eliminated through thoughtful planning and close collaboration with your potential outsourcing partner.
