Real Labs. Real Results. Real Relief.
Researchers across academia and industry trust ELabELN to organize their work, protect their data, and simplify compliance. Here's what they're saying about making the switch from paper notebooks.
"I was skeptical about switching after 15 years of paper notebooks, but finding a protocol from 2019 in under 10 seconds sold me. My entire lab transitioned in a week, and we haven't looked back. The automatic timestamps alone have saved us during two audits."
"I spilled coffee on three months of cloning data my second year. Never again. ELabELN's free tier gave me everything I needed—instant backups, search that actually works, and I can access my notes from home. Wish I'd started with this as a first-year."
"We needed audit-ready records but had zero budget for expensive enterprise systems. ELabELN let us start free, stay compliant, and scale up when we secured funding. The cost savings from not losing samples or data paid for itself immediately."
"Sharing protocols between sites used to mean scanning, emailing, and reformatting. Now it's one link. Report generation went from two days to 30 minutes. ELabELN gave me my weekends back without sacrificing data quality."
