E-Mail A company providing software for the management of laboratory equipment has been spun out from the University of Strathclyde. The ULab platform provides lab managers with all the tools they need to run their labs more safely, more sustainably and more efficiently. ULab can also help generate additional revenues. It offers prospective research collaborators the opportunity to see what technology is already available and avoids double purchasing, while research funders can ensure their grants are being used prudently. The ULab platform has been operating for several years, both within Strathclyde and with the labs of external universities, research groups and companies. It has become an important keystone tool in many labs, whose managers have said they cannot imagine running them without ULab.
