This course is available for on-site presentation, a public offering
has not as yet been scheduled.
This course is available in two forms:
. Option 1: one-day stand-alone course available as either a public
offering or on-site course
. Option 2: half-day course that serves as a preamble to the
“Manager’s Guide to Lab Automation & Technology Management” course. It
is recommended for on-site programs that include a combination of both
this half-day session and the Manager’s Guide course. The half-day
session is intended to provide an introduction to lab instrumentation.
Why is this course important?
Laboratory computing is essential to the operation of R&D and quality
control labs. While some aspects (office applications) are similar to
other groups in the company, labs have unique computing and regulatory
requirements that may not be covered by traditional IT policies.
An_understanding of laboratory requirements will help both IT and lab
groups develop policies for support, product selection, and the
integration of the lab into the general corporate computing
environment.
Purpose
These short-courses will introduce IT professionals to lab automation,
what it is, what the processes are, how labs work [research, QC
examples], the state of data interchange standards, LIMS, ELN,
instrument automation and instrument data systems, the use of
robotics,_and regulatory issues.
The full-day course is a stand-alone session covering the topics noted
above. The half-day course will introduce IT professionals to lab
instruments, how automation is applied to them, and a general model
for instrument automation that can be used to understand other
instrument/_automation systems. The remaining material will be covered
in the second part of the program: the Manager’s Guide course. Having
both lab and IT personnel attend the second session together will give
them:
. a basis for understanding the planning requirements for lab
automation,
. the ability to build a working / planning relationship between the
groups, and,
. a basis for building successful automation programs.
