Goutham has a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Göttingen and now researches the molecular basis of neurodegeneration and Parkinson's disease at the Philipp University of Marburg in Germany. We caught up with Goutham to find out why he decided to adopt LabTwin’s voice-activated digital lab assistant to help with his experiments.
Why did you decide to start using LabTwin’s digital lab assistant?
Because it's hands-free and it makes the life of scientists and lab
personnel way better and easier. Researchers only need to talk to LabTwin to collect relevant scientific information while performing sensitive tasks.
Before LabTwin, I often had to stop experiments and take off my safety
outfit in order to be able to write down my observations. This took a lot of time
and energy. Often this also resulted in losing concentration and focus while doing experiments.
The setup is easy and the specs are very attractive in the app. LabTwin is easy to use and apply to my needs so far.
LabTwin lets me collect data while performing experiments without needing to touch my mobile phone, pen or paper.
Maybe it can read out information to scientists as well as collecting information. (Note from the author: LabTwin recently launched a read-back feature for protocols).
It has provided me with precious time, helps me save paper, supports me preparing my SOPs, facilitates sharing my findings with other colleagues, just to mention a few.
The digital assistant is suited for scientific work performed by lab personnel, researchers from a broad spectrum of disciplines, students working at the bench, among others. I believe it could also be used to collect reports during meetings.
With LabTwin, you can instantly share experimental findings and compare results with your national and international work colleagues in real time. This improved collaboration will lead to better research efficiency.
It is amazing support for scientists and it’s free for academics! What else could a scientist ask for?
