LabTransformationen

LabTransformationen is a multidisciplinary concept describing the systematic redesign and modernization of laboratory practices, infrastructure, and data flows to improve efficiency, safety, reproducibility, and innovation. The term is used in German-speaking and some European scientific contexts, and can be translated as laboratory transformations.

It encompasses automation and robotics, digital lab management, data integration, standardized workflows, modular equipment, and safer

A typical approach follows phases: assessment of current processes, definition of goals, design of new workflows

Applications span chemical synthesis, materials science, biotechnology, environmental analytics, and education. By enabling high-throughput experiments and

Challenges include integration with legacy instruments, data standardization, interoperability, cybersecurity, and compliance with regulatory frameworks. Success
