Abstract
Digital laboratories have been the topic of discussion since the past decade, holds greater relevance today and may continue to do so for next few years until the concept evolves completely.
Sponsors and scientists aspire for an integrated solution that can replace paper and human intervention in life science laboratories; including those in industry, academic settings, and hospitals.
Digital labs offer significant advantages over existing paper-based semi digitalized laboratories, but adopting them in a predominantly paper-based environment is usually disruptive. The benefits of Digitalization can be fully maximised when they are integrated with other laboratory informatics tools like laboratory information management systems, chromatography data systems, analytical instrumentation, scientific data management systems, laboratory execution systems and ERPs.
However, there is no established path for an effective integration of these tools. In this presentation, we shall review and evaluate more about digital laboratories, integration approaches, industry perspective and aspirations, benefits and success factors.
