Trends in Lab Informatics for 2020

Head of Growth

Science must be accurate and precise. Throughout the past decade, lab informatics tools, robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) have all helped research labs to improve experimental accuracy, precision, output and speed. This trend will continue into the next decade, however the focus will shift to making sure informatics tools are user-friendly and interactive. As we move into 2020 and beyond, digital tools will become more user-focused and interconnected. Lab informatics and instruments will communicate with each other to form the integrated, smart Lab of the Future. Once we start seeing digital tools with simple, user-friendly interfaces, adoption should increase, leading to lower error rates, improved experimental efficiency and better use of data. With wider adoption of next-generation digital tools and advances such as faster 5G/6G internet connections, we should continue to see the cost of automation and data generation decrease. Guru Singh, Head of Growth at LabTwin discusses the biggest lab informatics trends we are likely to see in 2020.
