At the special show Forum Digital Transformation at analytica 2022, a total of five use-cases for the networked and digitized laboratory were presented. Equipment and software manufacturers showed cross-product digitization solutions using relevant practical examples. The spectrum ranges from cobot-assisted work processes for sample preparation and analysis and user-oriented process control with laboratory execution systems to horizontally and vertically networked yet modularly adaptable instrument solutions.

The focus was always on the shared laboratory infrastructure and seamless integration between sample input to quality-assured analysis results. A special highlight was the virtual journey through the laboratory of the future in the VR area.
