How to Integrate Legacy Lab Equipment with Data Systems

Modernize your lab by bridging the gap between legacy equipment and data systems with automated data transfer

Efforts to fully digitalize labs still face one particular ongoing challenge: legacy equipment that dots the landscape in most established labs. These older instruments may be analytical workhorses at the core of lab operations or specialized peripheral equipment. They’re often critical to operations, difficult or expensive to replace, and present an integration challenge. 

Bridging Legacy with the Future - Application Note Cover


Outdated data interfaces and operating systems create a gap between legacy instruments and modern digital systems, including LIMS and ELNs, that requires human intervention to bridge. Manual data transfer introduces potential for error and fragment data workflows, compromising accuracy, efficiency, and compliance with data integrity standards. 

This whitepaper explores bespoke solutions to the current data management needs and challenges for labs.
