Yes, there's absolutely a place for collaboration, but I've done professional lab work (mostly on the harder end of the Biological sciences, but some Enviromental work too) both in academia and industry, and there is a surprising amount of shaking sep-funnels and hand-written calculations even in a well-automated lab.
Ah, Mine was more "why won't this fucking thing tether to the substrate properly!?" or "We just got 3 litres of unidentified toxic sludge mixed with what is probably crude oil, you have 2 hours to work out how to shove it into a gas chromatograph without killing the machine and hopefully yourselves."
