Function: Scispot’s Inventory Automation flow connects Protocol completion with inventory management. AI automatically detects embedded samples in a Protocol and updates their quantities in Labsheets, ensuring accurate, real-time tracking of consumed or added inventory.
Use Case: Imagine you have to complete an ELISA protocol; our protocol page can automatically trigger Inventory Automation to automatically deduct the volumes of reagents consumed and add newly prepared buffers. This saves you time, reduces manual errors, and keeps inventory records accurate in just a few clicks.
