Practical, data-driven consulting for clinical and research laboratories facing automation, validation, workflow, quality, throughput, and reliability challenges.
Engagements are scoped around the problem—not a generic consulting package. Work can be remote, on-site, or hybrid depending on what the laboratory needs.
Investigate instrument, workflow, quality, turnaround-time, cost, or reliability problems and identify the most likely root causes.
Typical outcome: a diagnostic assessment with prioritized, practical actions.
Support technology implementation and validation through IQ/OQ/PQ, paired comparisons, variability assessment, acceptance criteria, documentation, training, and operational readiness.
Focus: technology that is documented, understood, and trusted in routine use.
Apply Lean and Six Sigma methods to improve throughput, quality, turnaround time, cost, and process reliability.
Focus: measurable improvements that can be sustained after the engagement ends.
Why instrumentIQ
Laboratory problems rarely stop at the instrument. Technology selection, installation, validation, SOPs, staff adoption, data flow, workflow design, and ongoing performance all affect the final result.
instrumentIQ takes an end-to-end view—combining laboratory automation, validation, process improvement, and operational problem solving rather than treating each as an isolated task.
Practical experience
instrumentIQ is led by Robert Busby, PMP, CSSBB, with more than two decades of experience in laboratory technology, automation, process development, validation, and operational improvement.
The objective is straightforward: understand the actual problem, use the data, work with the people performing the process, and leave the laboratory with a solution it can operate and sustain.
