Reducing these errors has been a key factor driving lab automation efforts. Lab automation has driven down the rate of human errors in the analytical phase of laboratory work, where instruments and analytical systems are involved. However, the unaddressed source of most human errors in the lab (or anywhere, for that matter) is omitting necessary task steps.
