Case Study: iMicrobes achieves company-wide lab safety and standardized experimental protocols with Slab

iMicrobes - Customer Case Study

iMicrobes, a synthetic biology company that engineers microbes to make renewable chemicals and materials, needed to codify proper experimental procedures so safety would remain a core value as the team grew. To make safety information easy to find, useful, and updateable, they adopted Slab as their internal wiki and documentation platform for protocols and policies.

With Slab, iMicrobes added a baked‑in safety section to every experiment document, made protocols editable, and integrated updates with Slack so changes are visible to the whole team. Slab’s approach standardized safe experimental processes, simplified complex protocols for faster onboarding, boosted engagement with documentation, and led to more consistently updated safety policies—enabling safer, repeatable experiments at scale.
