How to integrate lab operations into your business processes

Pool lab expertise while freeing up space for your core business

There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all lab operation. Every company has to find its own way to tailor lab processes to be cost-effective, efficient, compliant and targeted to its needs – while integrating them with its unique workflows. Given the many factors involved in lab operations, this is no easy task. It can only be accomplished if you pool expertise from all relevant fields.

Why diverse tasks require diverse expertise

Most lab operators can’t manage all lab-related responsibilities with internal staff alone because the required resources are expensive and simply not available for regular business operations.

What lab operators often ask our lab experts:

• My team lacks the comprehensive expertise needed to cover all aspects of lab operations. Where can I get capable support?
• Do I need to outsource the entire lab operation, or can I bring in external experts for specific tasks?
• How can I free up more time for my core business while managing lab operations?
• Which lab operator responsibilities can I delegate, and which ones should remain in-house?
• What services should I expect from a lab operations partner to truly lighten my workload?
• Is it really more cost-effective to outsource aspects of lab operations to external experts?

How your company can benefit from an external lab operator

From expertly managing lab buildings and the full spectrum of technical equipment to complying with safety regulations and environmental standards, and properly handling chemicals, hazardous materials, and waste – running a modern lab requires a wide range of specialized expertise.

In most cases, it’s beneficial to outsource lab operations fully or partially to a specialized service provider. This frees your internal team from time-consuming organizational tasks that would otherwise require significant investment in training and resources.
