This 130+ page study is based on data from more than
20 major biological or medical laboratories connected to major
universities, private pharmaceutical or biotech firms and
other organizations that conduct advanced biological or
medical research. The study looks closely at how key lab
procedures are handled, in-house or outsourced, for gene
sequencing, laboratory animal management, DNA preparation and
pathological analysis. The study gives detailed data on
budgets, equipment spending, spending on lab animals,
materials spending, overhead spending and other spending
categories. It also looks at the outlook for lab funding, from
the parent institution, and from internal and external grant
sources. This exhaustive study also examines issues such as:
centralized vs. localized purchasing, use of consortia, level
of cooperation with the parent institution and other
laboratories. It presents data on the ratio of scientists to
lab technicians and other support personnel, and discusses the
degree to which scientists or administrators control lab
hiring. Other issues discussed in detail include: personnel
training, equipment installation, billing and invoicing,
number and quality of meetings of lab personnel, use of and
funds for laboratory management systems and other software and
hardware, trends in experiment documentation, policies on
environmental and personal safety, and much more of interest
to individuals that work in, oversee or provide critical
products or services to medical or biological research
laboratories in academia, industry and
elsewhere.
