Lab automation technologies can transform lab work.  Before we can reap those benefits we have to transform the way people approach lab automation. That is what this organization is about: helping people learn how to plan, implement, evaluate and use the products & technologies available to them.

The Institute for Laboratory Automation (ILA) is a non-profit corporation focused on supporting the laboratory community. Our purpose is to help lab managers, scientists, lab staff, IT support groups, consultants, and those developing products:

• understand the role laboratory technologies can play in their work, and improving the productivity of lab operations,
• develop plans for technology choices and use, and,
• successfully plan & develop programs for the use of advanced technology.

Our work will be primarily focused on education, including:

• Webinars
• Self-Paced Courses
• in-Person Courses, and
• Publications

In addition, the Institute has opened membership to build a community of professionals .
