LabTech in Your Life is a virtual experience that showcases the commonly used, everyday technologies that were originally developed by a federal laboratory. This unique interactive space was designed to connect you with innovative federal agency and laboratory research and development (R&D) that have achieved significant commercial market success.
LABTECH AT HOME
LabTech at Home is the first virtual environment of LabTech in Your Life. Learn the story behind how the technologies you use every day made their way to the marketplace and into your home! You’ll discover nearly 50 federally developed commercialized technologies from 7 federal agencies, displayed throughout 7 different tour stops.
Each technology represents years of federal laboratory R&D and demonstrates successful technology transfer (T2) partnerships in a wide range of scientific areas. A list of the agencies and technologies featured throughout the LabTech home are listed below. We encourage you to explore, discover, and experience all our virtual environment has to offer.
