The typical small biological laboratory is cmposed of electronic scientific equipment and wet laboratory equipment where staff record reesults into paper workbooks. There is oftern a lack of expert staff to guide new users, and hard won experience is locked away with individual staff and their workbooks. The Proteomics Laboratory System and Digital Mentor aims to: facilitate the capture, analysis and sharing of results; facilitate the creation and documentation of standardised work flows and experimental procedures; and mentore inexperienced users in best practice when engaged in particular procedures in the laboratory. In this paper we discuss the design of the system and report on the initial production release. This is nased on a relational database and web-server framework. A novel aspect of the system is the exploitation of custom extensions to a wiki-style interface that add functionality for non-expert end-users.
