“Invention and innovation are quite different things,” declares John Dr. Lienhard. To promote invention, a lab manager has to devise methods of instilling a sense of freedom in the research staff.

Viewing software allows researchers to visualize concepts rapidly and work their way through large amounts of data efficiently.

Quantifying common biomolecules such as nucleic acids and proteins efficiently without significant loss of sample is a frequent problem encountered in laboratories that regularly perform molecular biology techniques.

Through the measurement of specific key performance metrics (KPMs) on your assets, manufacturers and service providers, it is possible to turn knowledge into purchasing power.

It is still too early to gauge the exact impact of the world-wide financial meltdown on the laboratory sector. What has emerged thus far is a mixed picture based on industry and type of laboratory.
