Reordering? Track current request and past order altogether

New!  When you request again the same item, a new link allows you to navigate back to the original order, so it becomes really easy to track back your lab's orders.

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. On top of these routine tasks once in a while new students arrive which require tutoring and help, which I call onboarding. Every piece of a lab routine requires explanation. Wouldn't it be awesome if there one part that that would work seamlessly easy, without all needless overhead and useless interrations?

Helen will share the insights that we learned from 600 labs

At the Biotechnology conference, Helen will share the results of a statistical study that we performed at LabSuit. Having analyzed more than 600 labs we discovered amazing facts regarding different aspects of lab inventory and orders management . What we discovered is that the ability to employ order-request-management and inventory-management systems fuzed together, e.i. at the same place, significantly reduces the number of double orders. We touched this topic before in one of the previous posts. You're invited to Helen lecture this Sunday, on December 17, 2017 at Israel Biotechnology conference.  The detailed conference agenda and speakers list can be found here . Come and learn what we found out and how it can be applied to your research group for better lab processes. Helen holds Ph.D. from Technion and she's  LabSuit  founder and  CEO. 

Fighting Sisyphean lab tasks with timely reminders. Order requests that aren't marked as received longer than usual would receive timely reminders!

Have you ever wondered what happens to your lab when ordered chemical arrives, but neither marked as received nor checked-in? Your lab gets into the deadly loop and inventory becomes out-of-date. With every new item that skips the check-in process, whole system integrity is compromised, which at some point will haunt lab members back. The solution We have great news for our whole lab community!!! Starting from today, LabSuit helps you to follow up on every order request! For example, let's say you submit a request for imidazole. At some point it's status is advanced to "Ordered", but never changed to "Received".  It's likely that the piece of a lab supply was received a long time ago, but no-one marked it as received. Or maybe the item is still stuck at supplier's site. When you have a lot of tasks to take care of, it becomes extremely challenging to follow up on these cases. Also,    sometimes  it may seem like a Sisyphean task. ...

Good news for Israeli chemists! You can choose Alfa Aesar products either from Tzamal D-Chem or Holland Moran

Following Alfa Aesar acquisition by Fisher Scientific, Israeli chemists got an advantage.  For many years, the exclusive Alfa Aesar representative in Israel was Tzamal D-Chem. However, when Alfa Aesar was acquired by Fisher Scientific, Alfa catalog become available from Holland Moran too, which represents Fisher Scientfic in Israel. Since LabSuit partners with both Tzamal D-Chem and Holland Moran, our users take advantage of camparing prices from both vendors. Try Alfa Aesar items from Tzamal in LabSuit Try Alfa aesra items from Holland Moran in LabSuit Try both! Enjoy the pluralism!  And leave your comments below! 

Lab members at Roee Amit lab at Technion found a clever way to bridge the gap between the lab bench and the computer desk.

Some time ago I wrote a blog post about how LabSuit is used on a mobile device, and how its mobile camera can facilitate your lab requests management . Some time ago on a casual visit to one of Technion labs, our team member found something interesting. Researcher work is split between the lab bench and computer desk Research is conducted in many different environments. Usually, we see researchers wearing white lab suit and protective goggles. After the experiment is conducted, the analysis phase steps in, which requires a computer  desk to work at . Activities, such as scientific conferences, also can be very fruitful and important. Nevertheless, most of the work is split between the bench and a computer desk. Unfortunately, the switch from the bench to the computer and vice versa isn't that quick because of protective gloves the researcher wears and distance in-between. Much of the work is done on the bench  The examples list is endl...
