SmartLab: monitoring of lab activities goes digital
In the fall of 2020, the Faculty of Medicine launched the SmartLab project aimed at deploying an electronic tool for tracking research activities in its laboratories. The selected and implemented tool facilitates the daily operations of research teams and faculty core facilities while ensuring compliance with legal traceability requirements governing research. Generally, "Electronic Laboratory Notebooks" or "Laboratory Information Management Systems" offer numerous advantages:
- Structuring and organizing information
- Sharing information within the laboratory or between research teams
- Sample traceability tools
- Ease of implementing the SNSF data management plan
- Standardization of procedures within the Faculty of Medicine to ensure consistent quality
The AV短视频 has chosen the tool from .
Tool specifications
The selected tool to meet the needs of UNIGE laboratories presents several advantages:
- A functional interface for quick onboarding
- An adaptable tool to the specific needs of many laboratories
- A widely developed "Electronic Laboratory Notebook" offering expanded possibilities for experiment traceability
- A mobile application (Android and iOS) to enhance data accessibility
The is available to assist researchers with any questions or information requests, to advise and train teams, and to support the implementation of this tool.
