It seems stupid to have humans anywhere near this stuff. Robot chemistry labs would make a lot of sense -- doing the same operations over and over, exactly the same way, with limited downside when things go wrong. I know some of the biochem procedures are moving to "cloud labs" -- using inherently small amounts of chemicals and repeating things many times. Doing similar things in larger scale labs also seems worth it.
