Join host Megan Pettyjohn and informatics expert Tim Histen, who has managed over 40 implementations, as they tackle the challenge of translating lab needs into a language that resonates with finance and C-suite decision-makers. Tune in to build an unshakeable business case for your digital lab's future.

In this episode, unpack the reality behind the buzzwords—from AI and IoT to VR and the foundational role of the cloud. Hear which technologies are truly making a difference today and which are niche. Listen now to move past the hype and start building your adaptive, evolving lab environment.

Dive into the complexities and immense potential of FAIR data. Unravel why Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable data is not just a buzzword, but the critical foundation for powering AI and revolutionizing R&D.

What if the old, forgotten applications in your organization are secretly costing you a fortune and putting your entire network at risk? This episode exposes the high cost of "zombie apps"—dormant software with few users and massive security vulnerabilities.

Host Megan Pettyjohn talks with CSols CEO Kyle McDuffie about how the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and tariffs are reshaping chemical and energy labs. They unpack the rise of onshoring and reshoring, the surge in U.S. manufacturing projects, and what it all means for QA/QC functions and informatics systems.

In this podcast episode, we tackle what the LIMS hosting models (on-prem, cloud, SaaS) meant for the end user. We explore how each option affects user empowerment, collaboration, and a lab's ability to adapt.

How Canadian life sciences labs are adapting to tariffs. Discover how LIMS supports smarter sourcing, inventory control, and cost optimization.

This episode of Decoding the Digital Lab, featuring Alex Chronis, explores the integration of AI into regulated laboratory workflows. AI, powered by lab informatics systems like LIMS, offers intelligent alerts, predictive modeling for instrument maintenance or environmental impacts, and NLP for faster data retrieval and reporting.

This is a must-listen episode for anyone considering a cloud LIMS, offering the unvarnished truth about what you need to know before you make the leap.

This episode dives into the transformative role of AI in research and development (R&D). Host Alex Chronis and guest Brandon Henning from STARLIMS discuss how AI can serve as a "human assistant," accelerating the analysis of massive datasets and automating repetitive tasks

This episode of Decoding the Digital Lab explores the practicalities of integrating AI into laboratories. Host Megan Pettyjohn and expert Glenn Everett discuss essential considerations beyond just software installation.

⁠In this podcast episode, Veronica DeFelice from Sapio Sciences joins us as we explore digital transformation in drug discovery, where precision and tracking in biological data are crucial for maintaining accuracy and making advanced decisions.

In this episode, talk about why technology projects often fail: it's rarely technical, it's about people. Discover why engaging your team from the start and understanding lab science are crucial for success, making projects 6x more likely to meet objectives.

This episode demystifies AI's role in the lab, breaking down complex concepts for beginners. We explore real-world applications like intelligent alerts and smarter reporting, while addressing common misconceptions such as the "plug and play" myth and the idea that AI will replace humans.

This post describes the likely direct and indirect effects of federal funding cuts on labs in public health and clinical research. It highlights the potential for laboratory capacity issues, economic and social effects, increasing health disparities, and innovation losses.

In this premiere episode of the CSols Podcast, we explore how Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) are transforming the oil and gas sector in Canada—from exploration to compliance.
