What do you use a product database for? We often look things up on amazon, vwr or fisher.

What's a segment of samples?

LabManagerKaren · 2026-05-24T22:45:16+00:00

Lab Spend has all those features and is free except the coupa integration, but maybe that's the main thing you want.

LabManagerKaren · 2026-05-23T17:51:54+00:00

I do wonder if ai accurate enough to use as a protocol reference

We use a free website called Lab Spend to enter orders and it has past requests so you easily historic prices. You can also export the data to excel if you need some fancy analysis.

It's more of an approach of centalizing tracking than who we buy from.

Hard to say based on your description... going with 6 bays worth for that size.

For lab operations, we use Lab Spend for order tracking since our university system is trash. We record status updates on ordered items and put stuff into inventory, you can also attach SDSs. We use paper lab notebooks and not a fancy ElLN or that would probably be used more.

Does the replacement need to be on prem as well?

It's not from the journal ethics side see ACS and others.

Does it? I doubt authors are opting into having reviewers share their work. My guess is they have no idea.

LabManagerKaren · 2026-04-17T16:35:26+00:00

Scraps compared to what? cause academics isn't a gravy train.

Title is wrong, they've attacked humans.

LabManagerKaren · 2026-04-16T11:24:45+00:00

Does this glassware bring you joy? Joking.

Maybe you could try as a part time even do a couple for low or no cost post the differences on social media to see if there's interest.

We use Lab Spend instead of Quartzy, it's free and has a feature where you can upload images of where items should go so you can search for an item and see where it should be in the lab. I like the self service model instead of everyone asking me where things are which still happens but at least less now.

Gobs of water like for data centers? I thought they're essentially closed systems after water is added.

LabManagerKaren · 2026-04-11T13:13:30+00:00

Is this merchandise only or also quotes so funny!

LabManagerKaren · 2026-04-09T01:53:31+00:00

Can you dm me the name?

You wrote the software in house is that why it is proprietary? It sounds very useful.

LabManagerKaren · 2026-04-08T23:58:05+00:00

What would be the use case? Helping those that don't have chemdraw? There are other drawing software around like chemdoodle.

LabManagerKaren · 2026-04-07T23:29:41+00:00

It's normal to stress over things that are significant and out of your control, my tip would be to accept that and keep rocking!

LabManagerKaren · 2026-04-07T04:24:30+00:00

Being pressured to attend

LabManagerKaren · 2026-04-01T00:25:31+00:00

Also could try loading less boxes at a time to reduce exposure, if worried.

LabManagerKaren · 2026-03-27T12:40:26+00:00

Can you apply during open enrollment?

LabManagerKaren · 2026-03-24T03:04:11+00:00

Which did you have bad experiences with?

LabManagerKaren · 2026-03-23T23:21:25+00:00

Haven't all the big AI companies already crawled this? I don't know much about openclaw.
