Enhancing the scientific experience using laboratory software

The scientific experience is critical to the success and efficiency of the entire laboratory ecosystem – from software and instruments to workflows and processes. Scientists need to be able to focus on their critical work, and not be burdened by challenges such as siloed data, manual processes, and old technology. It is critical that organizations keep pace with technological and scientific advancements, as those changes have a direct impact on how a lab operates.

The way that laboratory personnel need to interact with software, instruments, equipment, and systems makes a significant impact on their daily work. Access to mobile applications, barcode-driven workflows, voice control capabilities, and extended reality software provides innovative and easier ways for scientists to achieve their goals. New automation capabilities improve efficiency, eliminating manual intervention and streamlining processes and workflows in the lab. Improved tools, such as enhanced dashboards and new AI/ML capabilities, deliver knowledge from data and empower the scientist to make faster, more informed decisions. Lab software solutions built with pre-configured QA/QC capabilities provide an intuitive, easy process to execute typical scientific workflows with minimal training.
