The digital lab: The move is on.

The digital lab is an open, connected, intelligence-infused laboratory ecosystem. Its purpose is to maximize throughput and quality so lab staff can focus on problem-solving and true innovation.

The urgency of moving to a digital model is steadily increasing, driven most recently by the need for faster remote data access, scalable cloud-based storage, smarter asset monitoring, and remote work options, and improved collaboration.1
