Periodical inventory backups by email

Following the feedback from LabSuit users in Talinn, Estonia, we have simplified the way LabSuit works in certain situations.

Pavel Starkov, a PI from Tallinn University of Technology says: "Once in a while an Internet outage may occur, but we need our inventory at LabSuit to be available offline as well". Impossible to overrate being said, we realized something has to be done.

What we did is added automatic emails, that are sent out periodically and include your inventory back-ups (Excel file). To start off, there will be two options for emails periodicity: WEEKLY basis and MONTHLY basis. It's recommended to use the MONTHLY option, just not to blast you inbox, though if your inventory is updated often, for example daily, you may want to take back-ups on WEEKLY basis.

The good thing about periodic inventory backups is that it's not limited just to lab managers, but every lab member can have inventory backups delivered to his/her email.

This how it lands into your mailbox. It's recommended to use a proper folder within your mail account for your inventory snapshots. In case you're using GMAIL, mail labels might become very handy

In addition, periodic inventory backups may be used as historical logbook: the inventory history can be viewed 6 months back or even a year back from now!

Another handy feature is the historical inventory import. Please see the import procedure attached/’below

CAS numbers aren't just for chemicals, but also for antibodies, peptides and others

If you look close enough at this picture you can spot two happy Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) members exiting the building. They have just generated 4 new CAS numbers for the very new organic compounds. This building is where they dwell, while we in research and particularly in LabSuit can happily use their fruitful work. CAS numbers In this blogpost I'll be talking about CAS numbers in LabSuit. Many of us use CAS numbers on the daily basis. They help us uniquely identify chemical compounds and avoid moments of frustration. Not a long time ago, in LabSuit, we prescribed CAS number fields for chemicals only. While this may be theoretically fine, for practical purposes that may not always be the case. CAS numbers have richer context There was a trigger that helped us to drive the change in LabSuit - we talked with Yifat Abramovich from Rapport, Medicine Department of Technion. Ifat is using CAS number for antibodies! Then we analyzed...

Lab Fairy embraces Eli Lewis's lab at Ben Gurion university of the Negev

Lab Fairy's target was a fridge full of antibodies. On previous Lab Fairy assignments, there were containers mostly with chemicals, therefore dealing with the new type of inventory items ma...
