Driven by the need for greater cost effectiveness and the desire to extract the most value from pricey assets, laboratory managers are converting their unused, excess and replaced equipment into cash.

A key factor in maximizing return-on-investment in the lab is the ability to align the right scientific instruments, i.e., fixed lab assets, with science initiatives. Maintaining the right scientific instruments can help companies increase biological screening efficiency, shorten the drug development process, and meet milestone objectives.

The four key criteria in selecting the right rapid microbial method share a common trait: a strong correlation to financial results. Without a strong value proposition, you simply wont have the support of your finance and operations management.

In order to thrive in today's work environment, you need to change the way you look at time. The key is not just managing your time, but maximizing it.

In the great global game to woo and win scientific talent, more employers are extending non-cash motivators as the proverbial carrot. Attracting and retaining talent without pay increases is absolutely a discussion people are having.

In order to win, all members of a team have to understand the vision and recognize their role in accomplishing the teams goals.
