Transforming forensic lab efficiency through digitalization
August 6, 2025, 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT
High-throughput forensic laboratories often face challenges such as instrument downtime, limited real-time visibility, manual data collection, and constrained IT support. These issues can slow case processing and impact overall efficiency.
Discover in this webinar how South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) laboratory was able to overcome these challenges by implementing Agilent CrossLab Connect. Join Lieutenant Robert Sears, SLED, to hear how this digital platform enhanced instrument monitoring, service management, and utilization analytics, to improve the operational efficiency of SLED's 20,000 annual cases across toxicology, drug chemistry, and trace analysis.
