Laboratory Suite Content Summary
note that this list is not exhaustive, it reflects the main entry fields used in the different databases. Most of them have relational links, providing automatic data entry depending on the employee who is logged in.

box, with jumps back from each cell in the box to the corresponding
storage record new

- linking the information between clones and strains data
- vector specific data
- anything else
- any research related item that is not covered by the current set (or in the CustomSuite) can be stored in this general database, which includes general field headers and a SuperContainer field for file linkage.
Legal Status of Background Technology
Something mentioned in many biotech contracts but very hard to describe, is the exact description of background and foreground technology. This is where years down the line, you may be fighting over with your project partners; who invented what and when?
Using LabScores databases, you have an exact description of your background technology on that very day of signing your contract. It may come out of your printer or send as email as a one page PDF, and just with the push of one button (providing your employees are faithfully entering relevant data into the databases).
