What type of technology is used in GlaxoSmithKline?
Most of the science carried out in Research and Development is at the cutting edge. Most scientists interface their experiments with IT systems for running them, monitoring them and collecting and analysing results. Chemical analytical systems include state of the art high performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry as well as nuclear magnetic resonance. Many of these processes are developed within the company. Molecular biologists use automated polymerase chain reaction (PCR) equipment. Robotics are used routinely to make repetitive processes more effective and more efficient.
