How Modularity Enables Change in Technology Technology allows us to expand our perceptions and understanding of what is possible. This is especially true for life science labs, where technology—and specifically lab automation technology—is constantly evolving and driving new innovations. Adapting to change with automation offers us an opportunity to improve the way we work; helping […]
Lab Automation Software: An Under-Appreciated Champion In our first installment of the Tenets of Lab Automation blog series, we discussed hardware. In this second installment, we will focus on software. As a company with a deep history in the life science industry, we’ve experienced and participated in many product launches over the last few decades. […]
Lab Automation Unconstrained by a Strict Definition What is lab automation? Lab automation involves controlling tools and equipment with minimal interaction. It integrates automated technologies into the laboratory to streamline processes and eliminate repetitive tasks, improving throughput and quality. It is essential for labs to remain competitive and meet demands, especially as they face challenges […]
Automated Liquid Handlers are Not Commodity Products Automated liquid handlers are a great way to remove manual performance variability from a workflow while adding valuable time back on your clock. And if you’re familiar with different manufacturers in the liquid handling space, you likely understand that robotic liquid handlers are not all created equally. Functional […]
Scientists are all too familiar with the issues of proliferation of software platforms in their work environments. Most laboratory devices have their own software packages and interfaces, and the lab as a whole typically runs a variety of additional platforms from lab notebooks, to sample management packages to data analysis software. In a world in […]
