Laboratory is the Lunas mode for research work: a workspace that groups conversation threads, uploaded files, phases, and findings around a single research question. It solves the scattering problem — the papers in one folder, the cohort table in another, the reasoning stranded in a chat window nobody can find again. In a Laboratory every thread draws on the same file vault and writes to the same evidence timeline, so a month of work reads as one continuous line of inquiry.
What goes into a Laboratory?
A Laboratory holds everything one research question needs: threads for each line of inquiry, a shared vault of papers and datasets, phases that mark real milestones, and a timeline of saved findings.
Structure does the quiet work. A lab studying vitamin D status in an elderly cohort might run one thread on the assay literature, another on the cohort's own results, and a third on confounders — three separate conversations, one shared set of files, one timeline showing which questions are settled and which are still open.
Where do the answers come from?
Stethos reads the lab's own files when it answers — cohort notes, biomarker tables, uploaded exports, spreadsheets — and cites what it used, so a claim can always be traced back to its source.
That matters most when an answer is surprising. If the model reports a mean value that looks off, you can open the file and the passage it drew from and settle the question in seconds instead of re-deriving the number by hand.
From finding to report
Save any answer worth keeping to the Laboratory Timeline. Findings accumulate in date order, with the file each one came from still attached.
When the work is ready to leave the lab, those saved findings become structured, cited drafts — a progress summary for collaborators, a methods-and-results skeleton for a manuscript — assembled from evidence you already reviewed rather than written from scratch.
Common questions
- What is a Lunas Laboratory?
- It is a research workspace that groups threads, shared files, phases, and findings around one research question, with the Stethos medical AI grounded in the lab's own evidence.
- Can I use Lunas Lab for a literature review?
- Yes. Upload the papers and exports to the lab's vault, open a thread per sub-question, and ask Stethos to compare, summarize, or extract across them — with citations back to the source file. Save what holds up to the Laboratory Timeline, and the accumulated findings become a cited draft you can edit and verify yourself.
- What kinds of files can a Laboratory hold?
- Papers, notes, exports, and tabular data as PDFs, images, text, or CSV. Uploads pass through a review step before they join the lab, so you confirm what was extracted before Stethos treats it as evidence. Every file in the vault is available to every thread in that Laboratory.
