Using digital technology to drive laboratory automation

Digital technology is a main driving factor for organizations who are on a journey to a digitally transformed laboratory. As these organizations evolve and adjust to keep up with technological advancements and scientific innovations, the importance of a fully automated lab is made just as clear.
While automation allows a wealth of opportunities for workflow optimization, many labs overlook the importance of using software solutions to manage their data and streamline their processes. Organizations with a disconnected ecosystem are less able to benefit from the advantages which automation and digital technology can offer. Ongoing advances in automated technologies and digital science solutions are helping labs achieve unprecedented levels of throughput, efficiency, and reproducibility. Laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and intelligent workflow scheduling software, for example, are helping maximize these benefits through integrated data and process management.
As organizations work to optimize their workflow, lab automation technology is critical to optimizing processes and creating repeatable results. This webinar will describe how the next generation of automation technology can be leveraged to optimize scientific workflows and enable scientists to focus on the science. Join us to learn digital technology can drive lab automation.
