Technology and products

eLABInventory, eLABJournal, and eLABProtocols

eLABInventory is a web-based sample tracking system (with LIMS-like features) that helps laboratories electronically track samples, consumables, chemicals, and more. In addition, the system offers tools to generate barcodes for all lab inventory, create custom sample types, and facilitate collaboration and communication between colleagues. All sample information is stored in an intuitive web application, while keeping automatic version histories of all data.^[3]

eLABJournal is a web-based electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) that helps laboratories document research data electronically in a GLP-compliant manner. In addition to ELN functionality, the system also incorporates the functionality of eLABInventory, offering tools to standardize lab protocols or standard operating procedures, keep track of samples, and facilitate collaboration and communication a between colleagues. Experiment data are digitally registered in an intuitive web application, while keeping automatic version histories of all data.^[4]

eLABProtocols is a web-based protocol management system to design protocol templates and standard operating procedures (SOPs) and is available standalone or integrated in eLABJournal.^[5]

Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:

the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
the feature does not exist for the product.

A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.
