Remote Lab Scheduling is No Longer Optional, it is a Requirement

TetraScience Scheduling is a purpose-built solution that allows laboratories to schedule not only instrumentation and equipment, but also the people who use those devices, and the tasks that need to be run on them.

Data Automation for High-Throughput Screening with Dotmatics, Tecan, and PerkinElmer Envision

Despite robotic automation, experiment data sets are still isolated from one another, requiring manual data acquisition and handling. TetraScience’s Data Integration Platform brings automation to the data.

Data Science Use Cases for the Digital Lab: Novel Analyses with Waters Empower CDS Data

Once your Empower data is in the cloud - harmonized, structured, and connected to your data science tools - what meaningful analyses can your data scientists perform? We've collected several obvious and non-obvious data science use cases from our network.

Applying Data Automation and Standards to Cell Counter Files

Use case illustrating how experimental data from a cell counter is automatically collected, centralized in a data lake, and converted into an ADF-compatible format, saving time, reducing error, and making the data accessible and actionable.
