ELN Spreadsheets design standards

Design is really important for user experience.

The user feedback about the first version of the ELN templates where more about the design than the content. They didn't really enjoy the "black and yellow" spreadsheets.

So for Coatings' Paint Formulation SS V2, we worked on defining design standards using Solvay's color palette as a base.

These standards are going to evolve according to the future needs.

Here are documentations about developed spreadsheet in PROD:

Entities and Relationships

ENTITIES


EntityDefinitionExample(s)
ExperimentA defined set of lab activities performed on samples of specific products/components

Emulsion Polymerization experiment

Solvent screening experiment

FormulationThe ingredients (generic) and their proportion (target) composing a formula

Formulation ABC = 

1,2- Dibromoethane - 89%

+ Rhodacal 60 - 5%

+ Rhodasurf L-20 - 6%

Formulation BatchA use of a formula prepared in the lab with the real ingredients (chemical inventory) and their proportion (actual)

Formulation ABC Batch xxxx =

1,2- Dibromoethane Batch xxxx Sigma Aldrich - 89.1%

+ Rhodacal 60 Batch xxxx - 5.2%

+ Rhodasurf L-20 Batch xxxx- 5.7%

IngredientA product, component, material, sample of formulation batch recorded in chemical inventoryRhodasurf L-20 Batch SP4D26X01 100% active received 08/06/23
Sample

A piece of the product/component on which the test is perfomed

The sample can be taken from:

  • A raw material: a product/component received from a supplier 
  • A formulation batch: a combination of raw materials and/or synthesized products/components
  • A synthesized product/component: a product/component resulting from the combination and transformation of raw materials and/or other synthesized products/component

Raw material: methanol from Sigma Aldrich

Formulation sample: combination of solvent, active ingredient and other additives

Synthesized product: latex 

Activity GroupA group of lab activities performed on the same sample, which share a common characteristic between themSyrup experiment includes photographing, measuring pH, measuring conductivity, measuring viscosity of one sample
Lab Activity

Observation/analysis of the behavior of a sample of a component/product when a procedure is carried out in a set of conditions :

  • Sample preparation
  • Sample analysis
  • Sample performance in application

It has an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure)

Formulation

Conductivity

Paint application

ConditionA variable/setting defined by the operator for a lab activity and affecting its outcome

Temperature/pressure at which experiment is carried out

Solute concentration

ResultThe outcome of a lab activity performed on a sample in specified conditions
It can be a numerical value, a set of numerical values (i.e. curve) or a non numerical value (i.e. observations)
pH = 8.4
 Shear stress vs. Shear rate
Pass/Fail
Result SerieA set of results, obtained for a lab activity performed the same conditions, and measured with a time interval between themSample aging
MeasureA property of the sample 
In the context of a lab activity it can be a condition and/or a result
Temperature
