About

LabArchives is a modern Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) built specifically for scientific research organizations. It centralizes all research activity on a single, accessible cloud platform, enabling researchers to record, organize, analyze, and share experiments and data from anywhere. The platform is purpose-built for scientists, offering specialized features like chemical structure sketching, image annotation, DNA file viewing, and customizable templates tailored to research workflows. LabArchives extends beyond a simple notebook with an integrated Inventory module for tracking and ordering lab supplies, and a Scheduler for managing lab equipment reservations. It connects seamlessly with popular scientific software including SnapGene, GraphPad Prism, Geneious, iChemLabs, Proofig AI, and Microsoft tools, reducing data silos and streamlining research workflows. Collaboration is a core strength—researchers can share protocols, files, and data with team members and external collaborators, track activity, communicate in real time, and co-edit notebook pages simultaneously. Custom identifiers and metadata maintain context across all research data. Security is prioritized through 256-bit encryption and compliance with SOC2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR standards. LabArchives serves academic institutions, commercial biotech firms, government agencies, and startups, with dedicated enterprise support and an ELN for Education product designed to prepare students for scientific careers. It is the go-to solution for organizations seeking to modernize scientific data management, ensure regulatory compliance, and accelerate research delivery.
