BioSistemika LLC develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions and provides laboratory consulting services. The company also provides hosting, installation, and support services for the free and open-source sciNote electronic laboratory notebook (ELN).^[1]

History

BioSistemika began a side-project called sciNote sometime in 2014, aiming to create a free open-source ELN.^[2] The company acquired additional funding through Kickstarter and ultimately released the source code to GitHub on February 12, 2016.^[3]^[4] BioSistemika also began to offer hosting and installation/service plans for the free software.^[1]

A new entity sciNote, LLC was created in Wisconsin in May 2016^[5], suggesting the sciNote efforts may be handled separately from BioSistemika in the near future. (This page will be updated when more public information becomes available.)

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.
