Migrating legacy data to a modern laboratory information management system (LIMS) is often seen as a complex and challenging process, especially for regulated laboratories dealing with decades of historical records. Legacy data may exist in various formats and structures, often spread across multiple systems. This data—whether structured or unstructured, machine- or human-generated—is often retained for legal, regulatory, or historical purposes, even if it is no longer actively used.   

The 2025 LabWare European Customer Education Conference brought 700 members from the LabWare community together in Glasgow for an inspiring week of learning, connection, and hands-on engagement. From customer case studies to product updates, partner innovations, and advanced training, this year's EU CEC showcased how LabWare continues to empower laboratories across industries with more innovative, more connected solutions.

According to the National Institute for Children’s Health Quality, “Ten percent of babies in the United States are born prematurely, facing increased risks of health issues and complications”.
