Laboratory Automation for IT Professionals (LAE-SC-2)
 |
This course is available in two forms:
|
|---|
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 a 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.
This course can be used to gain more depth in lab operations and lab instrumentation, enabling IT personnel to better understand lab work and the needs of the users for computing and automation.
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 Program Management 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.
Who should attend?
IT professionals in science-based companies [pharma, biotech, chem., materials, oil & gas, etc.] and those who primary business is not science, but may have laboratory components [quality control, materials testing, etc.]. This course will not expect the attendees to have any knowledge of science or laboratory work.
What will the attendees get out of it?
When the course is over, the attendees should understand what the major automation technologies used in laboratory are, why they are important, and how they effect the labs operations and productivity. In addition, they should understand how laboratory computing differs from other departmental computing.
