What is LabLog?
LabLog is an open-source electronic lab notebook (ELN) software designed for scientists, researchers, and lab personnel to record experimental data, protocols, materials, and procedures. As a modern alternative to paper notebooks, LabLog helps organize scientific information digitally to improve laboratory workflow and long-term record keeping.
Key features of LabLog include:
- Intuitive templates for entering protocols, experiments, materials data and results
- Drag-and-drop interface for uploading files and images
- Search and filter options to quickly find past entries
- Custom tags and templates for organizing entries
- Support for inserting charts, graphs and chemical structures
- Role-based permissions to control access
- Audit trail showing revision history
- Export to PDF or Excel formats
- Mobile-friendly web interface that works on any device
By replacing manual data entry and paper archives, LabLog helps scientists organize protocols and experiments more efficiently. Its search tools, version history, and backups also improve long-term record keeping. As an open-source platform, LabLog is customizable to specific research team needs and offers a cost-effective way for labs to digitize data management.
