Elevating lab operations to free up science
One of the simplest yet overlooked ways to allocate more time to the work of science is stripping out the time spent on lab operations. Labs manage their own operations with the idea that they're saving money by not having to pay someone else to do it, but in reality, it's costing them in the end. Developing products and solutions to make those gains requires investment, taking money away from scientific breakthroughs and revolutionary medicines.
A trusted partner with the right industry knowledge can help create a strategy that raises lab efficiency but not lab investment. When the operational work is taken off a customer's plate, it unburdens the science. It can also enhance the science by creating efficiencies that a customer may not be aware of. For example, an experienced partner can recognize whether or not a certain instrument from another area in the lab can be reallocated as a stand in for an older instrument.
