Today, research labs collect and process data using manual processes that are slow, tedious, and rife with opportunities for human error.
Getting a project off the ground can take months of configuration and coding. Recording requires systems, infrastructure, and significant effort to keep data organized. Manually passing data between processing tools leads to unnoticed errors.
In their current state, labs cannot meet new US and EU regulatory requirements for data management and traceability, creating substantial risks to institutions' grant funding and to commercial enterprises' ability to get their drugs or devices approved.
