What is LabOps?
LabOps is...
- A set of practices that combines laboratory management (Lab) and operations management (Ops). LabOps professionals aim to drive technological and scientific innovation through the implementation of standard operating procedures, which support data-driven decision-making within research, development, and clinical organizations.
- Driven by digital transformation and the rise of Industry 4.0. LabOps is an emerging field essential to accelerating the pace of scientific innovation.
- Positioned at the intersection of human capital and advanced technologies that help organizations improve the uniformity, consistency, reliability, reproducibility, quality, and integrity of processes in their labs.
LabOps Excellence Maturity Model
Defining excellence in LabOps is a complex and difficult task. That's why EM has developed the LabOps Excellence Maturity Model, based on the six pillars of LabOps. Each pillar is comprised of several core practices. For each core practice, a range of behaviors and competencies has been detailed on a range of low to high maturity.
To see where you land on the scale, check out our LabOps Excellence Self-Assessment. This guided tool will walk you through each pillar and core practice and provide you with a comprehensive LabOps Excellence score that you can use to help your team(s) get to the next level.
DevOps to LabOps
A trusted analogy
According to EM's founder and CEO, Sridhar Iyengar, LabOps is to scientists what DevOps is to developers. Both LabOps and DevOps provide essential functional support that shortens timelines and ensures the delivery of high-quality products.
Listen as Sridhar explains the synergy in detail in EM's origin story video.
