From revolution to a classic in laboratory optimization – 20 years of Lean Lab
The year 2021 marks a previously unknown milestone in the application of lean in laboratories. Twenty years ago, the world’s first Lean Lab project became publicly known. Since then, thousands of projects have followed to establish lean practices in laboratories. A comprehensive study conducted by Geniu examined the benefits lean
Successfully marketing applied research from the laboratory
At Labvolution in 2019, the “APRONA” project team from Goldfuß engineering, Biametrics, BioTeSys and the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC won 3rd place with their robot-based platform for the automated production of nanoparticles. The system was set up at the Fraunhofer ISC in Würzburg in 2020 for further testing
Award for Laboratory Optimization 2021 – start of the application phase
The LABVOLUTION AWARD is aimed at laboratories that implement “digital or analog optimizations”. The application phase starts on February 15. The best laboratory optimization projects will be awarded during LABVOLUTION from 7 to 9 September 2021 in Hanover. Hamburg. Designing effective and “lean” processes in the laboratory, digitizing workflows or
CoLab wins the Lean Lab Genius competition
The five winners were chosen from almost 100 participants in the “Lean Lab Genius” competition. The “CoLab” initiative will receive funding for the development of its innovative experimental laboratory in the form of training and consultancy services. Geniu was once again represented with a stand at last year’s LABVOLUTION. Visitors
Covid-19 test capacity already above the “limit”
Testing and separating people infected with coronavirus is an essential part of the containment strategy. Testing capacity is therefore of crucial importance. Various estimates of testing capacity are circulating in the media. None of them seem to be anywhere near correct – because no one can really know the capacity
Increasing corona test capacity with lean management
The rapidly spreading Covid-19 virus is currently presenting the world with unprecedented challenges. While public life continues to be restricted, researchers are working at full speed on the development of vaccines and faster testing procedures for diagnoses. Reliable and, above all, timely laboratory tests for Covid-19 are a key element
