OpenLab Sync extends Agilent's OpenLab laboratory informatics portfolio beyond traditional data and sample management, enabling guided, standardized, and traceable execution of laboratory work in regulated environments.

As laboratories face increasing regulatory scrutiny, workforce turnover, and pressure to standardize operations across sites, many continue to rely on static, paper-based procedures that can introduce variability and risk. OpenLab Sync addresses growing demands for consistency, data integrity, and audit readiness in regulated environments by providing step-by-step, guided digital workflows that help reduce ambiguity in laboratory procedures while improving traceability of bench-level activities across teams and locations.

OpenLab Sync connects to USP MethodConnect through a plug-in developed by Agilent, making Agilent the first integrator of the platform. This integration enables USP's machine-readable USP–NF test method content, including Monographs, General Chapters, and SOPs, to be ingested directly into guided protocols, transforming static SOPs into fully digital, operational procedures that help reduce ambiguity, supporting faster onboarding, greater confidence in execution, and improved scalability.
