Sustainability, at its core, is doing more with less. In high-throughput labs, that could manifest in many ways: reducing resource consumption, minimizing waste, and driving efficiency improvements. Regardless of the approach, measurable sustainability efforts start with clear goals and actionable data.
The challenge isn’t just recognizing that sustainability matters — it’s knowing where to begin, how to track progress, and how to ensure those gains aren’t lost over time.
Lab efficiency powered by AI
Sustainable lab performance is achievable. To include sustainability goals in your lab asset management program, you need a real-time view of your lab’s workflows, service agreements, inventories, and fleet composition and health—all in one place. This allows you to easily assess lab efficiency, productivity, cost, and sustainability baselines while identifying areas for improvement.
The AI powering CrossLab Connect collects and interprets sensor data, enabling you to answer the questions most critical to improve lab efficiency: are my instruments consuming power, solvents, and gas efficiently? Do I have the right equipment in the right places to do the work? Is instrument health impacting my throughput?
How CrossLab Connect works
Agilent CrossLab Connect lab asset management software delivers the tools you need to satisfy these sustainability objectives:
- A comprehensive view into lab performance provides a thorough baseline for factors impacting sustainability, like energy and resource consumption (solvent, gas, etc.).
- Intuitive insights uncover opportunities for improvement in running instruments and workflows.
- Customizable reports provide an easy way to measure progress towards sustainability-related goals.
Most critically, we understand that achieving sustainability is not a one-and-done outcome. Truly meaningful sustainability efforts are purposefully designed to be continuous and ongoing—that’s the only way to ensure they have a long-lasting impact.
