[Joe Liscouski]

Course Description

The successful use of automation and information technologies in
laboratory applications depends as much upon the policies and goals
defined by lab management as it does on the skills of those
implementing projects. Whether you are responsible for one lab or a
laboratory complex, setting the guidelines within which automation is
implemented across lab organizations is fundamental to cost-effective,
successful, and supportable systems.

Purpose

The purpose of this short-course is to introduce management to lab
automation: what it is, managements role in laboratory automation, the
policies that need to be developed to help ensure successful projects,
models of laboratory work that can be used to define automation needs
and product requirements, and an overview of the technologies used.
This course is of particular benefit to those considering LIMS,
Electronic Lab Notebooks, and integrated systems ; their success is
high dependent on a clear understanding of your labs operations.
