Fundamental lab skills

Laboratory induction training and assessment are essential components of initial lab orientation. It is vital that new personnel understand good laboratory practice, basic health and safety, how to produce reliable and accurate results and how to handle instruments correctly. This not only ensures that technicians, supervisors, and managers can trust the data produced, but also that staff are working professionally, without compromising the performance or safety of other laboratory personnel. Given that new staff will often operate key and expensive apparatus, correct and efficient operation is critical.

However, operator training within a physical lab is time, staff, and resource-intensive. Moreover, this is particularly true in environments where the primary objectives are to produce research, generate data, and support manufacturing. This is where Eclipse Creator fills a vital gap, offering an alternative or supplement to initial lab training before skills and knowledge are applied in a higher-stakes laboratory setting.
