Chemistry

Chemistry labs use LabSpace for the measurements and the inventory around them. Fit kinetics and titration data in Python next to the raw readings, keep reagents with their quantity and location, and build figures that stay with the manuscript.

LabSpace for chemists

• Fit Michaelis–Menten kinetics

  Fit initial rates against substrate concentration and get Vmax and Km with their standard errors, plotted over the measurements.

  1. Enter initial rates at eight substrate concentrations
  2. Fit the Michaelis–Menten model
  3. Report Vmax and Km with standard errors
  4. Plot the fit over the measurements

• Find a titration's equivalence point

  Turn pH readings into a titration curve and locate the equivalence point from the steepest change, so the number in the notebook comes straight from the data.

  1. Load pH readings against titrant volume
  2. Take the first derivative of the curve
  3. Locate the equivalence point
  4. Plot the curve with the point marked

• Keep reagents and instruments in one list

  Add reagents and instruments with their status, quantity and location, so anyone in the lab can see what is on the shelf before they order more.

  1. Open the lab's equipment and inventory
  2. Add a reagent with quantity and location
  3. Save it to the shared list
  4. Everyone in the lab sees the same list

The tools behind it

• Equipment: Reagents and instruments with status, quantity and location, and bookings that never overlap
• Notebooks: Fit, plot and tabulate measurements in Python next to the raw files
• Figure Studio: Publication figures built from your data and kept with the manuscript
• Manuscripts: Write with LaTeX, references and figures, then track each submission
