According to the United Nations, over 400 million tonnes of plastic are produced each year. Out of that number, life science labs are responsible for about five million tonnes of plastic, or around 1.8% of the yearly plastic produced. Unfortunately, the implication paints a startling picture of the future. However, plastic has been the industry-wide […]

Automation as a solution may feel like a hassle. However, one study published by the National Institute of Health (NIH) found that 89% of articles featured a manual protocol with an automated alternative. Additionally, more labs have caught onto the efficiency of automation, as publications citing robotics or automation as a resource have risen 25 […]

With increasingly complex processes and escalating productivity demands, labs can’t afford to make mistakes. Automation solutions are key to reducing lab errors, minimizing wastage and turnaround times, and helping labs keep running smoothly in a competitive environment. So, how exactly does automation prevent errors in laboratories? Common Types of Laboratory Errors First, let’s be clear […]

Laboratory work involves its share of risks, ranging from repetitive strain injuries to pathogen exposures. These issues remain stubbornly common, with as many as 45% of workers risking exposure to hazardous materials at one academic institution. In general, laboratory accidents are likely to be underreported. Reports like these highlight the need for action, because like […]

Mobile robots have shifted from a futuristic vision to an essential component of modern laboratories. With increasing demands for higher throughput, complex experiments, and precise workflows, automation is no longer an option but a necessity. The critical question arises: Are mobile robots supporting science yet? The answer goes beyond mere support—robots are actively transforming the […]

Laboratory automation holds the promise of increased efficiency, accuracy, and productivity. However, the journey to achieving these benefits is often fraught with challenges. Many labs have invested significant time, resources, and energy into automation projects, only to face unexpected hurdles and disappointments. If you’ve been burned by a previous laboratory automation attempt, you’re not alone. […]

The modern lab is an interconnected place. This is, in no small part, due to the availability of robust orchestration software. These systems enable lab managers to automate data transfer between instruments while centralizing device control and monitoring. The benefits depend on the extent and effectiveness of your integration. But it is a tried-and-tested method […]

Advanced laboratory automation has transformed from rudimentary mechanized tools to sophisticated robotic systems that now serve as the backbone of modern laboratories. Initially, automation involved basic mechanical devices designed to streamline repetitive tasks. However, the advent of robotics has revolutionized the field, enabling highly precise and complex operations that were once unfeasible. Modern labs have […]

Is your laboratory working at peak efficiency? Given the number of activities involved, lab workflows can be difficult to fully optimize from end to end. This is especially true if you are considering efficiency retroactively. In an ideal scenario, lab workflow management begins during experimental planning and runs throughout experiment execution. This minimizes data errors, […]
