TNI/NELAP Accreditation has become a defining benchmark for laboratories that aim to maintain the highest standards of environmental testing, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance. In today’s increasingly regulated and data-driven world, laboratories across the United States are under mounting pressure to demonstrate not only technical competency but also a robust commitment to traceability, defensibility, and transparency. This is where TNI/NELAP…

For laboratories serving the food and beverage industry, HACCP compliance is more than just a regulatory requirement—it’s a vital commitment to public health and consumer trust. HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a globally recognized, science-based system used to identify, evaluate, and control food safety hazards. While much of the HACCP process takes place on the production floor,…

Today’s laboratories generate more data than ever before—but the true value of that data depends on how well it is managed, interpreted, and applied. That’s where laboratory informatics comes in. As the backbone of digital transformation in the lab, laboratory informatics connects people, instruments, and processes in real time to accelerate discovery, improve quality, and ensure compliance. From life sciences…

In today’s global food economy, safety isn’t just expected—it’s essential. From raw materials and packaging to production, testing, and transport, every point in the food supply chain must meet strict quality and safety standards. That’s where ISO 22000 comes in. ISO 22000 is the internationally recognized standard for food safety management systems (FSMS). Developed by the International Organization for Standardization…

Laboratory modernization isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a necessity. Laboratories that cling to outdated systems, manual workflows, and fragmented communication are not only missing out on efficiency but also putting data integrity, compliance, and scalability at risk. Modernizing your lab means streamlining operations, reducing errors, improving visibility, and positioning your organization for long-term success in an increasingly digital world. If you’ve…

In laboratories of every type, including clinical, environmental, cannabis, food safety, and many others, one problem remains constant: the overwhelming volume of incoming phone calls, emails, and status inquiries from clients. Whether it is a physician requesting lab results, a technician asking for a sample update, or a partner confirming compliance paperwork, these frequent requests can drain staff time and…

Laboratories across the globe are entering a transformative era. Driven by technological advancements in automation, data analytics, and smart integration, today’s laboratories are becoming more intelligent, agile, and efficient than ever before. From research institutions to commercial testing facilities, labs are reimagining workflows to reduce manual tasks, accelerate time-to-results, and enhance data integrity. Here are the top 10 lab automation…

Used Oil Analysis labs are entering a new era—and LabLynx is leading the way. For decades, Used Oil Analysis has been a critical service in preventative maintenance, helping identify wear, contamination, and degradation in engine and machinery fluids before catastrophic failure strikes. At the heart of this work is Tribology, the study of friction, wear, and lubrication. It’s a discipline…

In a world driven by speed, precision, and data, the laboratories of tomorrow are no longer run solely by scientists in lab coats—they’re run by systems. Not just any systems, but smart, self-maintaining laboratory automation platforms that are redefining what’s possible in research, diagnostics, and quality control. Welcome to the future of lab management—where automation doesn’t just streamline operations but…

In April 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a significant shift in food safety regulation by initiating the phase-out of several synthetic petroleum-based dyes. This includes commonly used additives such as Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, and Green 3. These dyes, long under scrutiny for their potential health risks, will…
