Equipment

Who has the thermal cycler booked, and when was it last serviced?

Sign-up sheets on the door, calibration certificates in somebody’s inbox. SLIM gives every instrument one page with its calendar, files and service history, linked to the protocols that need it.

The problem

Shared instruments run on paper sheets and memory.

Two people turn up for the same slot. The manual is on a drive nobody can find. And when an auditor asks when the machine was last calibrated, somebody spends a morning digging through email.

Double-booked

The sheet on the door and the shared calendar disagree, and somebody’s samples wait.

Where is the manual?

Manuals and certificates live on personal drives and leave with their owners.

Audit panic

Service and calibration dates are reconstructed from memory and old emails.

How SLIM handles it

One page per instrument, and one calendar the whole lab uses.

Solves: double bookings

One booking calendar per instrument

Pick a day, see what is booked and by whom, and take a free slot. The instrument a protocol step names is the one you book, so the method and the schedule never drift apart.

  • Every booking shows who, from the lab roster
  • Named in protocol steps, live
  • Linked from notebook entries like any record

Solves: lost manuals and audit panic

Files and service history live with the machine

Manuals, calibration certificates, service reports and inspection cards attach to the instrument, not to somebody’s drive. When an auditor asks when the cycler was last serviced, the answer is on its page.

  • Manuals and certificates in one place
  • Service history kept for the life of the machine
  • Survives staff turnover, because it belongs to the lab
