Thermo Scientific CONNECTS™ for the Paperless Lab - a Game Changer
CONNECTS for the Paperless Lab is a combined methodology, technology and services offering that transforms laboratories into tightly integrated paperless environments.
Get real-time access to information
Improve regulatory compliance and data integrity Automate processes and reduce manual data handling
Termo Scientific CONNECTS for the Paperless Lab delivers the methodology, technology and services necessary to transform today’s laboratories into tightly integrated paperless environments, while leveraging existing investments in soſtware systems, databases and laboratory instrumentation from a wide variety of commercial vendors.
By bridging the islands of data generated in the lab and transforming that data into information that can be used across the enterprise, organizations will reap the benefits of improved access to real-time information, regulatory compliance, data integrity, as well as time and cost savings by automating processes and reducing manual data handling.
Methodology: a comprehensive solutions-oriented consultation delivers an assessment of an organization’s current level of laboratory automation, instrument integration and workflow. The assessment highlights potential ROI, operational gains and a plan for implementing solutions that address instances where current workflow relies on human intervention, which can be the cause of bottlenecks or introduce errors.
Technology: the vendor neutral suite of data integration, visualiza- tion and management technologies delivers comprehensive laboratory workflow automation, integrat- ing instruments and equipment and connecting data sources with data destinations. The technology enables consolidation of analytical results, including access to raw data and instruments from web browsers and mobile devices.

tation consulting services are optimized to deliver current and future paperless environments, enabling real-time decision making based on access to aggregated information from the entire organization. CONNECTS Services are based on proven methodology for delivering successful projects using industry best practices.

If there are paper-based methods or manual processes in your laboratories, you have an opportunity to turn those time-consuming activities into revenue for your business. More and more laboratories are realising that the investment they’ve made in setting up the state-of-the-art laboratory is not being fully optimised. Finding these opportunities for process improvement, improved workflow or elimination of manual processes can free your laboratory personnel to focus on revenue- generating activities.
Did you know? By automating the laboratory, companies save a tremendous amount of time and resources on manual activities in the lab. CONNECTS for the Paperless Lab delivers improved efficiency, productivity, consistency, quality and reduced costs—typically by over 20%.
