A Guide for Management: Successfully Applying Laboratory Systems to Your Organization’s Work is a webinar series designed as a management-level view of laboratory systems and is appropriate for anyone planning, reviewing, or approving the acquisition of laboratory informatics applications. A background in science is not necessary to follow the webinar material. Its purpose is to provide you with an understanding of how these technologies (laboratory information management systems, electronic laboratory notebooks, scientific data management systems, laboratory execution systems, instrument data systems, and supporting technologies) can be used to support or improve your lab's operations, as well as the considerations required before purchasing them. Topics covered in the series include:

  • Methodologies for planning for a laboratory informatics system, including where to start, when to start, and who should be involved
  • Roles of regulatory guidelines in different laboratories
  • Roles that laboratory management, personnel, and IT support groups play
  • Changes taking place in laboratory work and the backgrounds needed to be successful
  • Efforts needed to support the technical work and meet ROI and performance goals

Initially educated as a chemist, author Joe Liscouski is an experienced laboratory automation/computing professional with over forty years experience in the field, including the design and development of automation systems (both custom and commercial systems), laboratory information management systems (LIMS), robotics and data interchange standards. He also consults on the use of computing in laboratory work. He has held symposia on validation and presented technical material and short courses on laboratory automation and computing in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. He has worked/consulted in pharmaceutical, biotech, polymer, medical, and government laboratories. His current work centers on working with companies to establish planning programs for lab systems, developing effective support groups, and helping people with the application of automation and information technologies in research and quality control environments.

Part 1: Laboratory Informatics Technologies

Part 1 in this series will:

  • Introduce the concept of laboratory informatics
  • Look at areas where it has been successfully applied and the basis for that success
  • Introduce the major laboratory informatics technologies
  • Look at how/why they could be applied to different types of lab operations
  • Begin considering return on investment (RoI)
