“We became familiar with the functions and tools available in LASTRADA through demonstrations by LASTRADA Partners and demonstrations from other LASTRADA users. We were pleasantly surprised how easy it was to implement LASTRADA into our operation, given the flexibility of the system.”
Allen Holloway, Laboratory Manager with CMTG
“I am really excited about what we can do with LASTRADA; and we have not really started using the software yet.”
Brett Williams, Corporate Technical Services Manager with Payne & Dolan, Inc.
