Molecular laboratory processing has been advancing and in the Life Sciences field it is becoming more complex. This complexity is evident by Next Generation Sequencing moving beyond the research laboratory into Contract Research Organizations, Public Health, and Specialty Diagnostic testing. At the same time molecular testing is becoming more common in Biotechnology, Food and Beverage and Manufacturing. The distinguishing features of Molecular processes within the laboratory are the increased complexity of multistep protocols and the ability to affect many samples at one time due to the microscopic nature of the molecule. At the same time this increases the need to manage many more samples moving throughout the laboratory, and among many more systems that require integration with multiple instruments.
