Scientists needed to interrupt their lab experiments to enter data directly into the ELN, often leading to reliance on paper notes and delayed transcription, which affected data quality and created redundant work. In labs with restrictions on paper use, the necessity of memorizing experimental details further compromised data accuracy.

The project leader recognized Labtwin's hands-free voice documentation and real-time digitalization capabilities, particularly its integration with their ELN, as a solution to improve efficiency and data capture. By adopting Labtwin, dsm-firmenich saved time, enhanced documentation completeness and reproducibility, and streamlined reporting through automated processes.

Various manual processes using spreadsheets and transcription into lab systems were encumbering quality and research and development staff. Some of the manual processes included routine reports, logging maintenance tasks and experiment statuses, and optimizing analytical methods for their chemical reactors. Each of these processes took considerable time and increased the risk of human error.

The organization recognized the value of Labtwin as a voice-activated digital lab assistant which could streamline their manual processes. Bringing Labtwin into their labs reduced the need for manual transcription, increased the client’s efficiency, and reduced the possibility of human errors.

In vivo preclinical studies are still a crucial step in the drug development lifecycle. As animal welfare requirements have increased, the importance of capturing all possible data has also increased. Additional data enriches experimental models and may potentially decrease the number of animals required to perform adequate studies. Collecting the data is time consuming—each animal involved in the study must be monitored every day for up to months at a time. This leads to significant documentation requirements, which are often met with manual checks.

Labtwin, the voice-activated digital lab assistant, streamlines data collection by allowing researchers the use of both hands while monitoring the animals. This hands-free recording feature improves researcher safety and increases data accuracy and completeness. Less time in the animal area also reduces stress on the animals.

Manual operation in GMP environments faces challenges in meticulously recording reagents and instruments, confirming each step with signatures and timestamps, and accurately reporting all assay parameters and results. Additionally, manual calculations require a second-person verification, and all forms and results must be subsequently digitized and uploaded.

If your lab isn’t ready for a fully digital option like a LIMS or ELN, adopting Labtwin for data capture can lessen your risk of human errors. Labtwin’s voice-activated and hands-free data capture accurately preserves your records with no manual steps needed.
