Benefits of automation

Automation leads to better data, better results, and better science. By automating everything from instrument alignments to image tuning to experiment workflows, researchers can spend more time on their inquiries and less time tuning their instruments—as they work to produce the highest-quality results in the shortest amount of time. Automation contributes to:

  • Increased productivity: Automation enables researchers to perform faster, higher-quality experiments, while getting the most use from their instruments.
  • Broader accessibility: Automation extends scientific experiments to a broader num>>ber of users, and exposes researchers to advanced tasks they wouldn’t normally use.
  • Improved data confidence: Automation helps users achieve consistent results with limited human error—leading to more reliable and repeatable data.

 

 

How automated microscopy accelerates materials science research

At Thermo Fisher Scientific, we take a flexible approach to automation that lets researchers maintain full control over their experiments. With our instruments, customers can:

  • See each of the steps behind the automation.
  • Customize automation to meet their specific needs.
  • Turn automation off when they don’t want to use it.

How Automation Saves Time through the Power of Scripting with a Desktop SEM

Automation can positively impact the science performed in an array of laboratories, speeding up and streamlining processes by increasing the overall productivity of instruments, increasing the number of samples being run in a day, or – most crucially - increasing the day-to-day data density and improving the overall statistical relevance of results.
