Try a new raw material in two open experiments without leaving the recipe page.

The problem: new materials that wait for admin before anyone can use them

When adding a raw material means leaving the recipe and filling in a separate form, new materials sit unused or get entered inconsistently.

A new resin arrives for trials, but adding it to the system means a separate form, maybe an admin request, and a wait. In the meantime, scientists note it as "new resin" in free text, and the data is hard to use later.

What this demo shows

  1. Create the raw material from an empty recipe row.
  2. Record its category and supplier as structured data.
  3. Add it to two open experiments.
  4. Type the first amounts.

‍

Why it matters

Raw materials entered with a category and supplier from the start can be searched, compared and used in models alongside everything else.

Creating the material from the recipe row and adding it to open experiments in one step means trials start straight away, with clean data.

Uncountable is where your lab records every experiment as structured data. A new raw material just arrived. Try it in the experiments you have open. It is new to the platform, so create it without leaving the experiment. The name comes with it. Its category and supplier are stored as structured data. Create it and the raw material joins your experiments.

Both experiments now hold the new raw material. Ready for the lab. From new raw material to first experiment in one platform.

FAQs

Can I add a new raw material without leaving the experiment?

Yes. Create it from an empty recipe row on the Enter Recipe page.

Is the new raw material stored as structured data?

Yes. Its category and supplier are stored as structured fields from the start.

Can I use a new raw material in several experiments at once?

Yes. In the demo it's added to two open experiments in one step.
