Service Laboratories (core facilities) are under ever-increasing pressure to increase productivity and contribute to the research and operational efficiency of the organisation. This presentation focuses on strategies for improving laboratory efficiency using iLab Operations Software and other Agilent tools that go beyond spreadsheets, simple scheduling calendars, and manual daily workflow tracking. Software systems can be used to identify, consolidate, track, and leverage resources across laboratory platforms that can then provide resource insights, build out projects, create experiment plans, and track the use of instruments and other laboratory resources. The result is an assessment of resource output thereby facilitating insight driven planning and new ability to justify resource requirements to lead to overall enhanced capability in your service-oriented lab.
Agilent and the iLab service leads the way in enterprise level software for core research facilities across more institutions globally than any other product. iLab is the software foundation to the successful operations of one of the most critical elements of a modern research enterprise; the core facility.
