The Challenge
In the dynamic world of wet lab research, sticking to plans, or protocols, can be quite a challenge. Researchers often find themselves grappling with the complexities of experiments, leading to confusion and delays. Scispot's Labspace steps in to address this challenge, offering a user-friendly solution that simplifies the creation and organization of protocol pages, especially for wet lab researchers.
Creating Protocol Pages Made Easy
Template Ease:
One significant hurdle for wet lab researchers is the intricate process of designing a protocol. Labspace offers a solution by providing pre-built templates. These templates act as ready-made guides, simplifying the protocol creation process. Researchers can choose a template tailored to their experiment, eliminating the need to start from scratch.
Sections on the Protocol Page
Introduction: A designated section to introduce the protocol, providing a clear understanding of the experiment's purpose and context.
Procedure: This section outlines the overall procedure, offering researchers an overview of the experiment's workflow.
Steps of the Protocol: Labspace includes a structured approach to protocol steps, featuring "Sequential Protocol Steps and Locking." This ensures that steps follow a logical order, and locking prevents progression until a step is completed. It's like having a built-in checklist for researchers to follow. Researchers can create and record metadata for each protocol step, adding extra details about time, equipment, or special notes. This organizational feature enhances the overall structure and clarity of the protocol.
Labspace enhances the protocol creation process, introducing advanced features for GxP Compliance and enriched functionalities. Providing vital tools, Labspace empowers researchers for meticulous protocol management and industry-standard adherence.
GxP Compliance and Advanced Features
User Access Management: Labspace ensures secure collaboration by allowing researchers to manage user access. Roles such as Admin, Manager, or External User can be assigned based on specific editing or viewing rights.
Page Signing: For protocols requiring validation, Labspace introduces Page Signing. This feature allows supervisors or reviewers to authenticate and validate specific sections or pages, maintaining the integrity of individual data elements.
Data Security and Backup:
Moving forward, let's explore additional features that researchers in a wet lab setting can utilize:
Start/End Date: Researchers can easily add the start and end date of the experiment directly on the protocol page. This provides a clear timeline for specific experiments.
Version History:
Activity:
Tags: Adding tags to a protocol page serves as an organizational tool. Researchers can tag their protocol with relevant keywords, making it easy to track through search engines or knowledge graphs.
Mark as Favorites: You can also mark a protocol as a favorite, highlighting its importance for quick reference.
Clone and Export: Researchers can clone protocols, creating duplicates for similar experiments. Additionally, they have the option to export protocols for sharing or archiving purposes.
Generate Print-Ready PDF: Labspace offers the ability to generate PDFs of protocol pages, facilitating easy sharing and documentation.
Inventory Management: Researchers can seamlessly add inventory details, whether it's Consumed Inventory or Output Inventory. This feature streamlines the process of tracking lab materials directly from the protocol page.
