It's really great to see all these companies popping up focused on improving life in the lab. Everybody benefits when science moves faster. I work for a company called Quartzy (https://www.quartzy.com), which also focuses on improving lab efficiency. Quartzy is an online suite of lab management tools (inventory, orders, protocols and shared equipment) that is totally free for all researchers. Quartzy makes money from vendors instead of charging scientists, so you can have a group of any size on the site and not worry about how much it will cost. I know you're going to be insanely busy finishing up your experiments and writing your thesis, but if you get a moment check it out. I'd love to hear your feedback.<br />- Scott P., QuartzyScottP.http://www.quartzy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034888015247889941.post-64931817347499114562012-05-15T12:58:58.559-07:002012-05-15T12:58:58.559-07:00This would be awesome if our lab wasn't so het...This would be awesome if our lab wasn't so het up about phones/iPads/etc coming in to the lab :(<br />Our university offers software through our online ordering system and online booking system for equipment to manage certain things within the lab, but only post-docs/supervisors can access these which is annoying if you're a PhD student who needs to know if an antibody has been ordered or if you want to book time on specialist equipment as you have to ask them to book/check for you. The technicians have resorted to writing stuff on a whiteboard now for us students (old skoooool!)<br />Definitely let us know how it goes with your lab, may be I can barter to get it going in my lab! I shall give it a go for planning my own work though as it sounds like it could be very useful for that! :)MissPondhttp://misspond.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
