New Students onboarding is time-consuming. Is your lab following a best practice?

In these first days of 2018, I would like to share my obesravationfacts LabSuit brought to my notion. Lab manager doing is responsible for many things in lab, starting with professional aspects and doing a bunch of administration tasks. Having talked with hundreds of lab managers, I'm very good aware how challenging it is.

Wouldn't it be awesome if there one part that that would work seamlessly easy, without all needless overhead and useless interrations?

Ifat is using CAS number for antibodies! Then we analyzed...
