Hi, I am Katharina. As the LIV success manager I am supporting you with the optimal implementation of Labfolder by consulting you in individual introductory calls and providing you with training sessions.
Before joining Labforward, I worked in various biochemical as well as biotechnological laboratories. Starting out working with traditional notebooks before using ELNs myself, I am convinced that ELNs are the future for modern labs as they make daily work and collaboration so much easier.
Select one of the buttons below depending on which online training workshop you would like to select for your teamor schedule a Kick-Off Session here:
In case you have any specific questions or requests, you can also contact me via katharina.marx@labforward.io.
Are you ready to begin the journey of optimizing your data, improving collaboration, effortlessly complying with laboratory standards, and generally making life in the lab easier? Then schedule a Labfolder training session to set up your ELN for success.
This training session consists of two parts:
During this interactive training session you will be able to ask any questions you might have regarding your ELN!
Every researcher works with a number of materials, such as antibodies, chemicals or plasmids. You may even wish to catalogue devices that are used in your laboratory.
Using this built-in inventory system allows you to categorize your inventory lists and manage access rights appropriately. Additionally, you will be able to link your inventory items in your lab notes which can help you to increase traceability and reproducibility of your experiments.
Interested in managing your inventory with Labregister? Then book this session.
Schedule a Labregister Training
Usually, explaining all available features or going through tutorials is a great way to get started with a new software. But sometimes the really difficult questions arise only once you have actually started using your ELN. Do not hesitate to reach out to us via the support button in the ELN. Or collect all questions that you (and your entire team) have and book a dedicated Q&A.
On our webinar page, you can find information about upcoming webinars and view recordings of previous webinars around various aspects around Lab 4.0.
To keep yourself up to date on any updates, such as new features and bug fixes made Labfolder, please take a look at our cloud release notes.
