Electronic Lab Notebook

RSpace is integrated with DropBox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, Egnyte, and ownCloud, as well as Mendeley, Github, Slack, MS Teams and protocols.io, and we're adding integrations all the time. To make things even easier, you can automatically convert your Word documents into fully editable RSpace documents with all the formatting maintained.

There is more specialized lab notebook software available (Labguru, iLabber, or PerkinElmer electronic lab notebook software are some examples), but for us grad students who often have 'free' listed as our top criteria in choosing software, these aren't ideal as they can be costly and are directed more towards entire lab use than to. BIOVIA Notebook provides a high degree of flexibility for electronic data capture, while still meeting the requirements of both small to mid-size companies and large global enterprises. With BIOVIA Notebook, scientists can easily capture and record data on mobile devices for increased efficiency in the lab.

The Electronic Lab Notebook is an add-on for LabCollector LIMS. You can directly link to specific records in the LabCollector LIMS including documents such as protocols and SOPs, exact sample records including storage locations. Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) are the gateway for capturing lab data consistently and sharing it efficiently. ELNs streamline the documentation and protection of intellectual property, help scientists collaborate in increasingly global and networked activities from discovery to manufacturing and make scientific data and observations.

Free

Open-source with an AGPL licence means free as in beer but also free as in freedom. You have the freedom to modify it, look how it works and even redistribute your changes!

Secure

Strong encryption, good practices and modern codebase offers the best security for your data. Final draft 11 0 20. The only ELN with A+ rating on Mozilla's Observatory.

Responsive

You can access your lab book from any device, running any operating system, from anywhere in the world!

Cross-platform

Use your favorite operating system. You only need a recent browser.

Timestamps

RFC 3161 compliant timestamping of experiments (for intellectual property).

Inventory management

Store reagents, protocols, plasmids, cell lines, mice or anything you want, you can customize everything!

Stay master of your data

Import and export your data in common file formats (PDF, ZIP, CSV, JSON). Your data is not locked somewhere.

Internationalization

eLabFTW is translated in several languages because not everyone is comfortable with english.

Scheduler

Use the integrated scheduler to book anything you need to like microscopes, rooms, machines, etc.

Make yourself a favor, use an open source solution

Cloud services can shutdown, getbought, or change privacy policy any day, the last thing you want is proprietary formats and data lock-in. Using eLabFTW, you stay in control.
