Laboratory clearing out - It's time to clean up!
The sharing of information is not always easy in a laboratory. Even if paper does not need any interfaces and the information stored on it can be viewed at a glance: Paper-based work is not optimal. If people are not physically present, if the urgently needed journal is safely locked away or the handwriting of the colleagues is once again illegible, the procurement of information becomes time-consuming and error-prone.
More space in the lab through digital processes
Imagine any paper disappearing from your lab. What would that leave? Exactly - a workspace that offers enough space for analytical, focused and experimental work. However, files, folders and slips of paper are not only in the way, but represent a real contamination potential, especially in sterile rooms. With digital data capture in a centralised overall system, the storage and retrieval of documents becomes superfluous, the flow of information is optimised and work is rationalised.
What do you think? Does digitization in the laboratory represent a substantial gain in space or do you not see any great advantages in exchanging files for the cloud? We look forward to your opinions!
