Laboratory Automation Programs

Publications	The work on LAE was originally begun by Delphinus by publishing material related to laboratory automation engineering for both managers and impalements. One item - "Manager's Survival Guide to Engineering Laboratory Automation " - is available for purchase, the rest are available at no charge for downloading as PDF [Adobe Acrobat Required] files. Note: under agreement with the original publisher, the expanded version of "Are You a Laboratory Automation Engineer?" is available through a form, however there are no required fields.
Services	Better Systems Lead to Better Science, Better Science Leads to Successful Programs... The purpose of our work is to help companies turn isolated workstations into integrated systems, that in turn, help scientists, researchers, and engineers do their work more effectively. Laboratories produce new knowledge, information, and data (K / I / D). The success of those labs depends on their ability to produce, manage, and use K / I / D as resource for further research, product development and commercialization, and to improve your company's competitiveness. Our services are designed to make that possible. The application of automation in laboratories is often done at the workstation level. Labs usually lack an overall laboratory automation program that covers setting criteria for integration, product selection, document archiving, intellectual property and technology management / utilization, etc. We are interested in working with companies to develop programs tailored to their specific needs, based on the work we've done in creating a unique methodology to support this development (see "Manager's Survival Guide to Engineering Laboratory Automation "). Please contact us for more information.
Training Courses	We are developing a set of courses to support the development of Laboratory Automation Engineering at both the management and implemented levels. These courses may be given as short courses, on-line access, and/or tailored to a particular organizations needs.
Resource Program	The skills required to implement laboratory automation systems is broader than any single organization is likely to be able to support. We interested in organizing a list of individuals and companies that support laboratory automation.
Membership	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 purpose of membership in the ILA is to bring together scientists, IT Professionals, consultants, and vendors to both improve the practice of lab automation, and, to form a community of people that can work toward common goals. Those goals include the development of best practices, educational programs, methodologies, and the field of Laboratory Automation Engineering.
