State of Lab Digitization 2026

European testing and calibration labs face growing pressure: tighter accreditation requirements under ISO/IEC 17025, rising client expectations for faster turnaround, and increasing competition from larger laboratory groups. Yet many labs still rely on manual processes for sample intake, result reporting, and client communication.

Lab digitization is not about replacing scientists with software. It is about removing the operational friction that slows them down. When sample registration, instrument data transfer, report generation, and accreditation documentation run smoothly, your team can focus on what they do best: delivering accurate, reliable results.

This free assessment evaluates your lab across five key operational areas: sample intake and registration, testing workflow and LIMS integration, result delivery and reporting, follow-up and quality management, and client relationship management. Each area is scored to give you a clear picture of your current maturity level and where the biggest opportunities for improvement lie.

Whether you run a food safety lab, an environmental testing facility, a veterinary diagnostics operation, or a clinical laboratory, the assessment adapts to your context. At the end, you receive a personalized report with your maturity score and concrete recommendations you can act on immediately.
