Executive Summary
• This market report summarizes the results of HTStec’s industry-wide global web-based
benchmarking survey on the use of mobile technology to monitor and control of lab
instruments and automated systems carried out in April 2015.
• The survey was initiated by HTStec as part of our tracking of emerging life science
marketplaces.
• The questionnaire was compiled to determine current interest and end-user
requirements for mobile applications (apps) used to monitor and control lab instruments
and automated systems. The results of the survey are intended to be used by instrument
vendors to target their future R&D efforts on mobile technology and will assist them to
bring new apps to the customer earlier.
• Equal emphasis was given to soliciting opinion from all market segments using mobile
technology in their labs or from persons interested in the opportunities presented by
monitoring or controlling lab instruments or automated systems via apps.

The survey looked at the following aspects of mobile technology in the lab: broad application
areas of respondent’s work involving lab instruments; use of mobile devices at work, whether
supplied by respondent’s organization and where it can be used; % of people in respondents
lab with an organization supplied mobile device; whether respondent’s organization currently
provide any organization-specific apps for a mobile device; current use of any mobile devices
at the lab bench to aid research today; organizations currently allowing Wi-Fi interfaces
between lab instrumentation and a lab network or a mobile device; current use of any
instrument vendor supplied mobile device or Wi-Fi interface; main advantages of using a
mobile app to monitor/control a lab instrument; current use of any mobile apps to monitor or
control of lab instruments today; lab instruments or automated systems respondents are
most interested in interfacing with mobile devices; functionality required in an app for lab
instruments; potential benefits and limitations of mobile apps in instrument
monitoring/control; main barriers to change when considering the implementation of mobile
apps; preferred mobile device platform; BYOD and download app from app-store versus
receive mobile hardware together with app installed; preferred display size for the app; form
factors the app must support; platform native app versus a generic web browser based view;

use of other apps or internet browser on same hardware where a work-related app is
installed; use of a work-related app outside a place of work; when respondents would you like
to use a work-related app; what tasks should a mobile app perform; how should the app be
connected to the instrument/automated system; how should the app be used i.e. single
versus multiple mobile device per instrument; should there be a limit on how many similar lab
instruments/automated systems one app can control/monitor; should the mobile app be
subservient to the instrument software, to any scheduling software or should it be
switchable; are different levels of access necessary when monitoring/controlling an
instrument via an app; respondents who face any regulatory or health and safety challenges
concerning remote control of instruments; are mobile apps enabling monitoring and control
of lab instruments approved for use in respondent’s organization; how much are respondents
are willing to pay for a mobile lab instrument app; whether there is a need for a remote
wireless application on a desktop machine; and any lab instrument/automated system
functionality that would be ideally suited to control/monitoring by a mobile device app.

• Most survey respondents had a senior job role or position which was in descending order:
10 lab/research managers; 8 section/group leaders; 7 research scientists; 7 senior
scientists/research associates; 6 others; 4 post-docs; 3 principal investigators; 3
department heads; 3 directors; 2 presidents; 1 professor/assistant professor; and 1
PhD/graduate student.
• Survey results were expressed as an average of all survey respondents. In addition, where
appropriate the data was reanalyzed after sub-division into the following 5 survey groups:
1) Pharma & Biotech; 2) University; 3) Other Organizations; 4) Europe; and 5) North
America.
• The majority of survey respondent’s current work involves both lab instruments and
automated systems.
• The broad application area where most use of lab instruments resides was drug
discovery/screening.
• The majority of respondents made use of mobile devices at work, most of these mobile
devices were private, and the majority had no restrictions on where they can be used.
