The problem: instrument exports retyped into records
Spectrophotometer readings often get copied by hand from an export into the experiment. It's slow and introduces errors.
L, a and b values come off the spectrophotometer in an export that doesn't match the experiment's layout. Someone copies them across one by one, and a swapped row can go unnoticed.
What this demo shows
- Start on the experiment.
- Pick an uploader and drop in the instrument file.
- Check the readings.
- Find them on the experiment next to its formulation.
Why it matters
Stop chasing the context behind every test result. Uploading the instrument file to the experiment puts the readings next to the formulation that produced them.
Checking the readings before they save catches problems in the file, and removing the retyping step removes the most common source of errors.

Instrument data should not be retyped. Uncountable stores every experiment as structured data. On this one, choose upload data. Pick the uploader for the spectrophotometer and drop in its export file. The uploader maps the L, A, and B readings in the file to measurements. The values land on the experiment with the formulation that produced them.
Ask every vendor to show the path from instrument file to result.
