An Inside Look at myHatch
There are a lot of questions that come with moving into a lab. Some are about equipment and safety training. Others are about where your mail goes or what to tell a vendor who needs somewhere to park. At Hatch.Bio Labs, our operations team is committed to getting each resident settled into their shared laboratory space or private lab suite as soon as possible so they can start their work. myHatch is our resident platform, where you can find those answers, book what you need, and reach our team when something needs attention. There’s an app for iPhone and Android, but today we’re taking you through the desktop version.
Onboarding starts before your first day
Before you arrive, you can use myHatch to find onboarding information and access required safety training. You can also read up on the practical details, like what to bring, where your mail goes, and how temperature-sensitive deliveries are flagged for pickup.
Safety training, chemical inventory, and vivarium resources are integrated
Your myHatch login also connects you to SciSure, where you can complete safety training and manage your chemical inventory. When training is due for renewal, you’ll get a reminder. You don’t have to keep a separate mental calendar of when you last took each course. If you need vivarium space, the app walks you through exactly how to get access and once your training and onboarding is complete, you unlock access to vivarium booking resources.
Book lab equipment and conference rooms instantly
You can reserve lab equipment, meeting rooms, and procedure rooms in the Vivarium through myHatch. Lab managers can also make equipment bookings on behalf of their teams. So whether you’re planning your next experiment or need a quiet room for an investor call, you can check availability and make the reservation in the same place.
Get answers when you need them
If you’re wondering about building hours over a holiday weekend or need to check a booking, you can ask the built-in assistant. It can make reservations too. Ask it to book a room for 45 minutes at 3 PM, and it can take care of the booking while you get back to your day.
Visitor registration, team accounts, and billing all in one place
If you have a vendor or consultant who visits every other Thursday, you can register them on a recurring schedule. Set it up once, and you won’t have to remember to do it again on Thursday morning. Your visitor receives parking and arrival info prior to their visit automatically. This is also where you can find invoices, review your team attendance report, and manage payment methods.
Events, RSVPs, and news around Hatch.Bio Labs
You can find upcoming Hatchy Hours, trainings, and community events in myHatch, then RSVP to anything you’d like to join. We also use it to share building updates, ask for your feedback, announce building-wide amenities or vendor fairs, and let you know when Friday bagels have arrived in the kitchen. You will never miss out if something exciting is happening in the building.
