Webinar: increasing lab equipment utilisation in R&D

What you'll learn

  • Why most labs underestimate how underused their equipment really is
  • The most common causes of low utilisation (and how to fix them)
  • Practical strategies to increase uptime and reduce idle time
  • How smarter scheduling and visibility can delay or eliminate new purchases
  • Cultural shifts that boost usage without adding complexity

Many labs underestimate just how much value might be lost to underutilised equipment. In R&D environments, instruments often sit idle for 65% or more of the time; not due to lack of need, but because of poor scheduling, visibility gaps, or siloed operations. The result is avoidable downtime, frustrated teams, and unnecessary spending on additional instruments.

In this webinar, we’ll unpack the practical ways pharma and biotech labs are tackling this challenge. From streamlined scheduling systems to usage tracking and better cross-team coordination, we’ll highlight how operational improvements (not just technology) can unlock hidden capacity and improve day-to-day lab efficiency.

Whether you're managing a single facility or coordinating across multiple sites, this session will help you identify underused resources, avoid redundant purchases, and build a stronger foundation for scaling your R&D operations. Join us to learn how labs like yours are turning idle time into productive time, and making the most of what they already have.
