Step 1: Recognize the signs of lab inefficiency
Is your lab as productive and profitable as it could be?
Are you bogged down by time-consuming sample prep or disparate software packages?
Are you stuck using obsolete methods or inefficient consumables?
Do you suffer from unplanned instrument downtime?
Are you missing opportunities to reduce operational costs?
Addressing these questions may reveal specific areas in your lab workflows that could profit from improvement. For lab directors and managers, this information is extremely valuable — presenting opportunities you may not have considered before.
Pressures such as rising costs and increased employee turnover are threatening the productivity and profitability of food and environmental analytical testing labs everywhere. In today’s ever-changing testing landscape, laboratories must continually assess their output and seek ways to optimize efficiency.
To protect consumer safety and reputation, you must accurately analyze a vast number of compounds within a variety of matrices. To ensure uninterrupted operations, you need to strike the right balance between rapid and comprehensive testing methods while reducing costs and increasing throughput. Where can you turn?
Whether you need to improve your lab’s sample prep, separation, detection or software, we have solutions that can power your laboratory productivity. Check out the videos below to see examples of how we can help labs increase testing throughput and reduce cost per sample when testing in two crucial application areas: pesticides and PFAS.
