Tools such as laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs), among other solutions, can help mitigate the impact on life in the lab. Not only can these systems streamline lab operations, they can also help labs fulfill emergency requests from research laboratories who need to ramp up their operations urgently.
Remote work restrictions have caused many planned live learning events to be canceled. New Virtual Instructor-led learning options help fill the gap.
New technologies find important new roles today, and highlight the value of smart, connected lab functionality.
