As laboratories consider transitioning to paperless systems, it is crucial to understand the potential risks associated with relying solely on electronic laboratory notebooks and digital data storage. In this blog post, we will delve into various aspects of paperless laboratory risks and discuss how they can be mitigated using advanced technology solutions.

We spend a lot of time focusing on SOPs and setting up laboratory equipment and software in order to facilitate maximum compliance. Given the levels of technical details and specific procedures that are essential to proper lab functioning, it makes sense to build systems to effectively share this information and reinforce best practices.

But the culture in which a laboratory operates is critical as well, because it can drive how receptive the team is to adherence. Effective laboratory management relies on a few simple principles and tools that work to tip the scales into optimal lab function.
