A practical project template and checklist to plan, run, and evaluate a focused lab automation pilot that reduces manual error and accelerates experiments.
Will a lab automation pilot actually help? A practical guide to scoping a successful pilot. Automation promises faster runs, fewer manual errors, and freed-up staff time. But poorly scoped pilots can cost time, frustrate staff, introduce new failure modes, and produce results that can't be scaled. This guide helps you...

Integration & data-flow checklist. This practical checklist focuses on the common technical and data-related gaps that derail automation pilots. Before you run. Define the canonical sample identifier and ensure it appears in every data record. Decide storage location and ownership (LIMS, network share, object store)...
Composite case study: a small lab’s 6-week pipetting automation pilot. This is a composite example intended to illustrate typical choices, trade-offs, and lessons from several small-lab pilots. It is not a reported study; use it as a practical pattern to adapt to your context. Context and hunger. A university lab...
Expanded project checklist to scope, cost, run, and evaluate a focused lab automation pilot. Includes concrete actions, suggested metrics, owners, and evaluation guidance to produce clear go/no-go decisions and reusable results.
An actionable project template and interactive form to plan, run, and evaluate a focused lab automation pilot. Capture objective, scope, measurable success metrics, timeline, risks, data/integration needs, ROI estimates, and a clear go/no-go recommendation so teams can prove value quickly and consistently.
Interactive project template and checklist to plan, run, evaluate, and record focused lab automation pilots — captures scope, metrics, integration needs, risks, cost, go/no-go decision, and scaling plan.
Interactive template to plan, run, and evaluate a focused lab automation pilot. Captures scope, objectives, baseline and target metrics, safety and regulatory checks, integration needs (LIMS/ELN/instruments), run plan, data capture, budget, risks, and objective go/no-go criteria.
