Lab of the Future

The SLAS Lab of the Future initiatives focus on the integration of new technologies into the laboratory, particularly those that increase automation of workflows as well as connectivity within and between labs. The SLAS Lab of the Future also emphasizes the integration of the human element in the Lab of the Future, interrogating not only what the role of the human operator in the Lab of the Future will be, but also how do we ensure that the Lab of the Future makes things easier for the human operator and does not simply increase pressure on productivity and contribute to burnout.
