Digitization: An IT structure serving all levels is a prerequisite for the future-proof laboratory. This includes electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs), devices with suitable interfaces, and large storage and computing capacity (if necessary via third-party providers).

LIMS: A laboratory information management system (LIMS) facilitates the planning, execution and documentation of work processes — from goods receipt and analysis to accounting.

Automation: A prerequisite for successful automation is the use of standardized sample formats and interfaces for data exchange — look for manufacturer-neutral data formats such as AnIML and SiLA.

Robotics and Intelligent Laboratory Equipment: Through sensor and control technologies, devices monitor themselves. Artificial intelligence helps with process optimization. Sample robots relieve users of routine tasks and increase sample throughput.
