Carnegie Mellon University Cloud Lab 

Carnegie Mellon University has launched the world's first academic Cloud Lab, allowing users to remotely access and operate a fully equipped life sciences and chemistry laboratory straight from their computer.

The Cloud Lab operates 24/7, every day of the year and provides access to 200 lab instruments, including HPLC, GC, mass spectrometers, NMR, PCR, ELISA, ddPCR, flow cytometers, and much more. The power of the lab comes from the unique unified software that drives all the equipment and delivers lab activities that have been considered difficult to automate.

It can be hard to imagine a fully automated lab containing hundreds of instruments. This tour will show you how these instruments are arranged, how the samples get to the right instrument and how the lab technicians keep the flow of work moving.

Take advantage of this opportunity to ask questions about how the system works, why it’s located at Carnegie Mellon University, how the data is kept separated by user, and how you could give it a try.
