Toward Digitized Laboratories
“In the laboratory of the future, therefore, the focus should be primarily on integrated processes, in which a close interlinking of individual work steps and the associated equipment should promise to make things really easier for laboratory staff. Bungers’ demand: “Not only must documentation in the lab be digitized, for future-oriented research, processes must also be automated.” Many trends in this regard have already been observed in laboratories for some time: The automatic acquisition of samples and automatic execution and documentation, including the autonomous generation of reports, can already be found in some highly automated laboratories. Structured data collection in a human- and machine-readable format also enables better data exchange in the medium term.” MORE
