Abstract
The role of a laboratory and how laboratory automation can help achieve the aim of a laboratory are discussed. Organising scientific data and converting it into information are aims of both chemometrics and laboratory information management systems (LIMS). A discussion of scientific data and its conversion into information precedes a new approach to laboratory automation. This is necessary to see how chemometrics and LIMS can be merged effectively. A new definition of laboratory automation is proposed. The constituent groups are instrument automation, communications, data to information conversion and information management. The integration of all groups is essential for an effective laboratory.
