In today’s labs, simply having automation solutions is not enough. As the complexity of instruments, workflows, data streams, and team responsibilities increases, the real challenge lies in coordination, ensuring all these moving parts work together seamlessly. This is where laboratory orchestration plays a crucial role. Lab orchestration acts as the connective tissue that brings structure […]

Would you eat at a restaurant if they stored meat improperly or if the cook stations were cross-contaminated? Of course not. Similarly, the best way to avoid sample contamination in the lab is to maintain an up-to-date inventory and enforce proper materials handling and storage. These practices ensure that operations run with the utmost transparency. […]

Scalability in the lab is often defined as the ability to expand lab capabilities, increase workcell productivity, and pivot into research ventures without compromising data quality. Evaluating laboratory bottlenecks can help identify intuitive solutions that alleviate workflow pressure while enabling a more proactive approach to managing your lab’s operations. Having modular solutions also gives your […]

Finding reliable methods to streamline lab outcomes sometimes feels insurmountable. From differing workcells to multiple modality manufacturers, researchers who have to work with these ever-changing variables inevitably become variables themselves. Unfortunately, having a sluggish laboratory turnaround time (TAT) has real, and sometimes dire consequences. Delays in lab results can cause a 61% longer stay in […]

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are metrics you can use to determine how effective your lab processes are. They can help you evaluate workcell throughputs, compare errors made by automation versus manual methods, and review the accuracy and reliability of your data acquisition processes. If you’re unsure if tracking lab KPIs would improve your day-to-day, tracking […]

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. […]

Lab automation plays a crucial role in enhancing efficiency, reproducibility, and throughput in research and development. To think like a lab automation engineer, one must navigate the complexities of integrating technology with laboratory practices, ensuring that the systems are both effective and adaptable. Here, we will explore key factors to consider for developing a mindset […]

Lab automation enhances efficiency, accuracy, and reproducibility in experiments, freeing researchers from repetitive tasks and allowing them to focus on more complex analyses. However, it isn’t an entirely pain-free innovation. Automation can pose system interoperability challenges, requiring specialized setup and troubleshooting skills. Laboratory automation schedulers aim to streamline this process. A lab scheduler coordinates the […]
