LabWare and METTLER TOLEDO have established a collaboration to create a software connector that seamlessly integrates LabWare’s laboratory information management systems (LabWare LIMS®) and electronic lab notebook (LabWare ELN®) with METTLER TOLEDO's diverse laboratory instruments that feature the LabX™ software solution.
This collaboration and the resulting software connector are all part of a wider journey of laboratory digitalization and automation. This software supported automation is a key step in manifesting a paperless laboratory, providing full traceability, and significantly reducing the consumption of lab materials which improves sustainability.
This out-of-the-box software connector delivers additional benefits to laboratories and companies:
Efficient and automated end-to-end data flow: enabling seamless and robust data flow across all work tasks in a secure way using native APIs.
Reduced integration efforts: offering a plug-and-play integration through the connector, which reduces integration-implementation, -test, and -maintenance greatly. Reducing overall integration-project efforts and risk.
Accuracy and error reduction: removing manual transcription, increasing accuracy, and minimizing errors, which reduces the need to redo tasks. This also minimizes the use and potential waste of lab materials.
Step-by-step user guidance: providing clear instructions at the instrument touchscreens guiding the user through the process, reducing processing errors, and ensuring full reproducibility.
Reduced maintenance and training: requiring significantly less maintenance, training, servicing, and validation, leading to savings in time, effort, and costs.
Highest level of data quality and integrity: ensuring complete audit trails and the highest level of data integrity.
