New Research Finds 95% of QA/QC Labs Use Digital Tools, But Only 1 in 5 Are Actually Digital
Summary
1LIMS published the 2026 State of Lab Digitalization report based on a survey of 110 QA/QC laboratories and expert interviews. The research found 95% of labs use digital tools but only 1 in 5 consider themselves fully digital, with 54% still relying on Excel for day-to-day work. Many labs run LIMS alongside spreadsheets, and the main barriers to further automation are regulatory constraints, staff resistance, and system integration difficulties rather than budget. The report highlights a persistent gap between deploying software and achieving true data flow and automation in analytical labs.
