The face of laboratory equipment and laboratory in 2020

According to reports on the latest research laboratories and laboratory equipment, as there is a change in physical environments, as well also there are changes in our perception of the future and therefore there is every chance the laboratories of the future will change. It is reported that the technologies advanced, cost of operations, personnel and funding are the main factors that determine the design changes in the laboratory in 10 years from now.

In 2007, in a “laboratory of the future” supplement for Advantage Business Media, a readership survey, it was reported that more than half of respondents said the most important issue in the technical design of future laboratory was “right sizing” Lab. A similar survey in 2009, where 66% of respondents said that the bench space size was the most important issue in the design of future laboratory. In another survey conducted in November 2009, it was the cost factor has taken the lead with 59% replying while the size laboratory had decreased even below the instrumentation, funding, staffing, regulatory and technological changes.

Clearly, the current function selected for the design of the laboratory of the future depends very much on the current environment. Maybe The recession in the years influenced the survey responses. The results also depend on what technologies are changing and how fast.

In an overview of laboratory equipment, Ian Jardine, vice president of Global R & D Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, Calif., said that what was supposed to take 20 to 30 years in the first would take just 10 years. Advances in electronics, software, using new materials highly influence the laboratory and laboratory equipment changes over the next 10 years. Some of the major changes to be viewed by 2020 are as follows:

• Improved diagnostic capabilities
• Improved data analysis
• Good software from the operating system
• The integration of production labs in the process
• New automation and robotic implementations
• Lab designs based on the use of biosafety and Energy
• emphasize computer
• Improved communications systems
• isolation of the environment
• Advances in instrumentation
• Advances in technology equipment
• Cost reduction, etc.

Research indicates that by 2020, with the modifications as mentioned above, the laboratories and laboratory equipment will have a capacity instrument Moreover, simplified operation, more responsibility and more automated operations. In 10 years, which, in 2020, most laboratory experiments will be conducted by the office on the Internet, and you see essentially a laboratory clean room.
