Eppendorf AG presented the incorporation of its laboratory devices and consumables into digitalized work processes at their smartLab stand at LABVOLUTION. The advantages this could bring to the customer with regard to topics such as documentation, process monitoring and automation of repeatedly performed tasks in the laboratory were illustrated by means of practical examples.

Dr. Jan-Gerd Frerichs, director of Information Integration at Eppendorf AG, explained: "As a premium supplier in the Life Science field, customer requirements are a top priority at Eppendorf. LABVOLUTION and smartLAB were the ideal forum for us to present tomorrow's trends in an interdisciplinary environment. Moreover, it is a perfect opportunity to interact directly with our customers and to find out what they think about it."

smartLAB presented a glimpse into the future and invited you to find out what is already possible now. "smartLAB - the intelligent lab of the future" was a special exhibit that was held at the new LABVOLUTION fair for the first time. For the past year, twelve partners from science and industry have teamed up to create a realistic vision of a laboratory of the future. Application scenarios performed live showed how digitization will change life in the lab and how you could benefit from that development.
