Digital transformation journeys for materials science
22 Feb 2022R&D organizations in advanced chemical manufacturing must find ways to improve efficiency in an increasingly challenging environment. Workforces are highly distributed and must find novel ways to collaborate remotely. The complexity of novel materials and advanced formulations drives the exponential growth of the number of experiments required to deliver a breakthrough product. Careful design of experiment (DOE) is essential to containing cost and time-to-market. Evermore sophisticated testing equipment and analytical techniques drive an even larger explosion of the size and complexity of the result sets to be processed. In this white paper, PerkinElmer address the need for informatics in material science laboratories
