2 Collaboration is the cornerstone of science

Manage all your collaborations in labfolder

Create and share projects with your team members and/or external collaboration partners. Define which researchers can input data in common projects that are available in real time to all collaborators. By having all lab archives in a single platform, you can easily start writing your next publications.

Create and reuse common laboratory protocols

Create a shared database of protocols, templates or SOPs that your team can use in their research. Easily integrate them in the lab notebook and avoid repetitive data entry . Custom share settings allow you to fine-tune the access to these protocols, assuring that they are only available to the scientists you want.

Share & Discuss your data

Share and discuss data within your team using our communication tools. Invite researchers to your projects and record all the details of your next big scientific breakthrough in a single place that is accessible to the people you trust.

3 Manage your team

Used by laboratories of all sizes

Whether you are a small biotech startup or a large research institution, you can re-create the structure of your organization in labfolder. Detailed user share settings ensure that each individual scientist has access to the right content and nothing else.

A platform that adjusts to your team

labfolder adapts to the constant flow of scientists joining and leaving your group by storing all your experiment notes in your group folder. Individual licenses can be recycled and content of previous team members will keep its original creator name, so you can always retrieve it.

Assign and monitor tasks

Maintaining a lab functional requires a workflow of tasks that are shared amongst the entire team. In labfolder, you can assign tasks to your team members and be updated on their progress without the need to leave your electronic lab notebook.

5 Your lab notebook and lab inventory on a single platform

Your inventory directly in the ELN

Manage all your commercial and lab-generated materials in labfolder. Create unlimited Material Databases with custom attributes, assuring that your inventory is compatible with your lists of chemicals, antibodies, plasmids, samples, reagents etc… Update and edit items and let everyone know when an item is out of stock.

Tracking each item from your MDB

Cite inventory items in your lab notebook entries and easily track their usage across all your team’s projects. Our Material Database also includes item versioning, so you will always know which version was used in each experiment.

Common & Private MDBs

Define custom share settings for each Material Database and assure that each inventory is accessed only by the scientists you want. Private MDBs can also be created so that each user can keep track of personal stocks.

6 Structure your data for the future with our Data Elements

Standardize your lab’s experimental recordings

Experimental parameters are consistently recorded throughout all your projects and entries. Structure your team’s data, improve its integrity, and retrieve it faster.

Ideal for protocols and templates

Replicate entire experimental procedures using data elements and easily share them with your team as templates. Improve the onboarding of new scientists by designing easily understandable templates where newly generated data can be filled in that match the overall data documentation of your team.

Unified search with units conversion

For the first time your laboratory notebook understands scientific units and makes automatic conversions when looking for your data. Don’t worry if in one experiment you typed 0.5 ml and in another 500 ul of a specific sample or reagent, labfolder will retrieve both when you search.

What our scientists say about labfolder

“As a PI, I use labfolder in my expanding research group to help me keep track of the increasing number of projects and growing amount of data we generate. It is an important part of our efforts to move towards a more digital and interconnected research group.”

Dr. Thomas Crouzier
Group leader, KTH Stockholm

“Using labfolder I have completely stopped using paper notes in the laboratory. I store every single step of our R&D processes on the electronic lab notebook. We are planning to go completely paperless”.

Dr. Yair Pilpel
Head of R&D, EIO Biomedical Ltd

“Our research data is digital, so it is more intuitive to record experiments with ELN software. I found labfolder to be a big step forward; it is easy to generate, store, and retrieve data, and I can collaborate with other researchers”.
