Lab automation is no longer just the domain of high-throughput screening labs or industrial-scale operations. Today, automation technologies—from liquid handlers to robotic workstations—are accessible to labs of all sizes, offering a powerful way to boost efficiency, minimize errors, and expand scientific capabilities, whether for a single process or an entire workflow.
Successfully implementing automation requires more than just choosing the right tools; it takes careful planning, thought-out implementation strategies, and a strong understanding of what these technologies can realistically achieve. Labs must evaluate their readiness, consider regulatory and operational constraints, and select solutions that align with both current and future needs. Once automation is in place, ongoing monitoring and optimization are essential to ensure these systems deliver lasting value.
