I'm trying to optimize how I plan out experiments in a way that is reproducible and as hassle-free as possible. Any tips?
Hannah Stumpf Here are some widely used approaches, tools, or programs for experiment scheduling:
1. Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets - These spreadsheet tools may be used to make timetables and track experiment data. They are straightforward and simple to use.
2. Project Management Software - Tools such as Trello, Asana, and Monday.com are frequently used for project management, but they may also be used to schedule experiments and track progress.
3. Lab Management Software - Tools such as LabGuru, Labguru ELN, or ELN Solutions can be used to organize and schedule laboratory experiments. They frequently include capabilities such as computerized lab notebooks, experimental planning, and data management.
4. Calendars - Some researchers like to arrange their studies using a calendar tool, such as Google Calendar. This enables them to quickly access the schedule and make changes as needed.
Finally, the ideal strategy for scheduling trials will be determined by your unique needs and preferences. It is critical to select a strategy that is adaptable, easy to use, and capable of accommodating changes in your schedule as needed.
Here are some good digital tools to check out: Clustermarket (clustermarket.com) for lab equipment scheduling, Benchling (benchling.com) for sample management and eLabNext (elabnext.com) for an ELN. Hope this helps!
