LabManager - the Laboratory Information Management System of DTU Nanolab

LabManager is a vital web application for DTU Nanolab to keep track of equipment usage, booking, access and other activities related to laboratory use. Staff and the users coming to use equipment in the different facilities here must have a profile in LabManager.

As a regular user there are in the system some necessary settings that must be set and some operations you must be able to perform. This is taught in the introduction courses users can sign up for on the Access and Training part of our homepage. Some of the info is visibe below.

Equipment with LabManager Lock

Some equipment is equipped with a "LabManager Lock". This is an electronic switch that allows use of the tool only if you are logged in on LabManager.

• RED means: No-one is logged in. You are not able to use the equipment. Some feature on the tool is disabled so that you cannot use it. What is disabled differs from equipment to equipment. It can be the monitor that does not turn on, the furnace will not load or the shutter not turn on.
• YELLOW means: The equipment is under service. You are under no circumstances allowed to use the equipment.
• GREEN means: Someone is logged in. You are able to use the equipment, but make sure it is you that is logged in.

Orderlines in LM

When you use the cleanroom, use equipment or buy wafers your project or department will be charged according to the DTU Nanolab pricebook. You can review the charges if you click the "Orderlines" in the LabManager main menu. Note for the cost indicated is the cost for commercial activities. The actual cost charged depends on what kind of project your are working on. See the DTU Nanolab pricebook for details. You have the possibility to correct the orderline e.g. if it is charged on the wrong project or you had forgot to log out of a tool. Click on the [Change] field to the right of the line. A new line opens where you can edit the amount, project, text or date. If you edit the amount the change has to be acknowledged by Nanolab first.
