Welcome to our web site

The Institute for Laboratory Automation (ILA) is a non-profit corporation focused on supporting the laboratory automation community. We are the primary organization working in the development of Laboratory Automation Engineering and the methodologies that it uses. Our work will initially be focused on three areas:

Education

The changes in lab automation technologies and the need for labs to interact with corporate groups has put increased emphasis on laboratory technology planning, management, and integration. We are developing and offering both public and on-site courses to assist management, implementers, and those using automation to make the most effective use of current tools and prepare for new technologies. One key educational program is Laboratory Automation Engineering which describes a new approach to the design & implementation of automation systems.

Conferences

As an extension to our courses, we will be developing conferences to examine specific technologies from the viewpoints of vendors, users, and regulators so that the community in general will be better prepared to work with emerging products and systems.

Standards

The successful development of laboratory automation systems depends on standards. Data interchange, communications, storage, and standardized practices are all areas where work beneficial to the lab automation community should be done.
