Tutorials

Learn how to design, submit, and manage experiments on Litmus.

For Requesters

These tutorials walk you through the complete workflow from idea to results:

1. Hypothesis Formulation — Turn vague questions into testable hypotheses
2. Hypothesis Library — Save, organize, and reuse hypotheses
3. Edison Integration — Generate hypotheses with AI
4. Protocol Selection — Choose templates, custom protocols, or request design assistance
5. Submission & Results — Define acceptance criteria, submit, and handle outcomes
6. Cloud Labs — Submit experiments to automated cloud laboratories

Prerequisites

Before starting:

• Create an account
• Have a scientific question you want to answer
• Understand that Litmus supports BSL-1 and BSL-2 work only (no human subjects)

Time Investment

After the Tutorials

You'll be able to:

• Convert any scientific question into a testable hypothesis
• Save and manage hypotheses in your library
• Generate hypotheses using Edison Scientific AI
• Choose the right protocol approach for your experiment
• Define clear acceptance criteria
• Submit experiments via the API or to cloud labs
• Handle results, approvals, and disputes
