LabArchives ELN for Research Integrations & Widgets

Research laboratories rely on diverse technologies, software, and platforms to conduct experiments, analyze data, and collaborate effectively, enhancing the insights, speed and accuracy of scientific discoveries. Proper data management is essential for scientific discovery as it ensures data accuracy, reproducibility, and accessibility, which are critical for validating results and advancing knowledge. LabArchives ELN for Research integrations allow users to reduce data siloes, streamline all of their lab operations in one place, preventing data loss, increasing data security, and boosting efficiency regardless of team size or proximity to collaborators. LabArchives integrates with a growing list of popular platforms and software, like GraphPad Prism, SnapGene, RedCap, Jupyter and Protocols.io. LabArchives ELN for Research also includes built-in widgets – like calculators, drawing tools, and inventory trackers – and the ability to build custom widgets to meet the needs of each unique team. We want to highlight a few of these integrations and widgets as the list grows. To view our complete list of integrations, including our Microsoft Office for the Web integration, click here.
