Science is at the core of any society, working silently in the background, inventing new medicines and carrying out research and studies. There are literally thousands of science laboratories in the United States and they are monitored by government departments, which means the labs have to be fully compliant.

Robotic Devices
Small robots are used for many lab tasks, such as pipetting, mixing and measuring, which is far quicker than traditional lab assistants, plus accuracy is on point when using automated devices. Using such equipment reduces the risk of human error, plus it takes the stress away from lab assistants, who have more of a monitoring role than actually carrying out tasks.
Data Analysis
As you would expect, AI is bringing a lot to the table, especially when it comes to science labs and using AI to analyze data has many benefits. No human could ever compete against AI data analysis, plus AI does not make mistakes, allowing scientists to make data-driven decisions. Machine learning is great because the AI learns; the more data it deals with and it gets better at any task you might delegate. The time saved is amazing and when the system is set up everything is automated, with automated liquid handling systems that are designed with science labs in mind. The system can be operated from a single user interface, eliminating the need for importing/exporting sample names.
Cloud Data Storage
Many labs have already made the switch to cloud-based storage and if you are one, you already know the many benefits that cloud networking offers. Once your network is up and running, you or any authorized personnel can access the data from any location using any digital device. The network provider uses bank-grade cyber-security to keep your data safe from hackers and you can update in real-time. If you would like to learn more about cloud solutions, talk to a local managed IT services provider, who can set up the network and offer you a free trial.

Creating an Inclusive Workplace
Many labs have already implemented numerous strategies to create an inclusive workplace; the US administration are pushing all businesses to comply with the rules and regulations and over the next few years, all science labs should have inclusivity that conforms with the government regulations.
Equal Opportunities Employers
Most US businesses are equal opportunities employers, so they have to take great care with their employment practices; if an applicant feels that they are passed over for a job even though they have all the requirements, they might choose to file a complaint, which may or may not be upheld.
To conclude, science labs are benefitting from digital technology, while also becoming more inclusive and the use of AI is changing the landscape of laboratory work.
