About
Labguru is a comprehensive lab management software platform built to unify and accelerate R&D operations. It brings together an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN), Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), integrated inventory management, equipment management, and advanced automation tools into one secure, cloud-based environment. The ELN module enables researchers to plan and document experiments digitally, track project progress, standardize lab protocols, and share results with teammates. The LIMS component enhances sample tracking, manages storage locations, schedules equipment, and supports certification analysis with visualized reporting. Labguru's inventory management centralizes ordering processes, maps storage locations, sends low-stock notifications, and supports large collections of living specimens, tissues, and samples. The built-in automation engine allows teams to design step-by-step custom workflows using triggers, rules, and code via the Lab Scripter — eliminating repetitive tasks and reducing human error. Additional capabilities include NGS automation, chemistry tools, data visualization dashboards, label wizards, and AI-enhanced features. The platform also offers a mobile app (Labhandy) for on-the-go lab management and developer tools for deeper integrations. Labguru serves a broad range of industries — biotech, pharma, foodtech, molecular farming, CRO/service labs, QC labs, and academia — as well as startups and enterprise research teams. With 800+ companies onboard and 50% of new customers arriving through word-of-mouth, it stands as a trusted solution for modern scientific research and lab operations.
Key Features
