Building a research library
How to structure a small, disciplined compound library instead of accumulating vials at random.
7 min read
A good library is narrow. Three compounds studied carefully teach more than eleven kept on a shelf for someday.
Group by pathway rather than by popularity. Compounds that share a receptor family belong near each other in your notes.
Keep a written log: lot number, arrival date, storage location, reconstitution date, and concentration. It takes a minute and saves entire batches.
Rotate stock. The oldest vial of a compound should be the next one opened.
