Abstract

A method for supporting a user of a biotechnological laboratory to execute a biotechnological experiment with a real life experiment workflow in the laboratory based on a nominal experiment workflow using a data processing system comprising data processing modules, wherein in an offline planning routine, the nominal experiment workflow is defined by an offline planning module based on user input, wherein in a noncompliance routine, based on the monitoring information, noncompliance of the real life experiment workflow with the nominal experiment workflow is detected based on noncompliance criteria by a noncompliance module and in case of detection of noncompliance, a reaction routine is activated by the noncompliance module. In the offline planning routine, for each of the nominal workflow items an allowed variability regarding the number, the type, the resource and the parameter set of the at least one nominal workflow step may be individually defined.
