1. A system for developing scientific experiments comprising one or more processors in one or more computers, one or more instruments, and a memory storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
generate a protocol object representing a protocol to execute an experiment, the protocol object being linked to a sample, source materials, a sensor to track the sample, and second sensors to track the source materials;
process the protocol object to generate the protocol to execute the experiment;
execute the experiment to modify the sample based on the instructions;
calibrate an instrument to be used in performing the experiment;
adjust a value of an experimental parameter based on a result from the calibration of the instrument; and
based on the adjusted value of the experimental parameter, update the protocol object to modify the protocol.
