Easily Capture and Share Data

Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) are the gateway for capturing lab data consistently and sharing it efficiently. ELNs streamline the documentation and protection of intellectual property, help scientists collaborate in increasingly global and networked activities from discovery to manufacturing and make scientific data and observations associated with experimentation easier to capture, search, find and use.

With an ELN, many of the tedious tasks in the lab are simplified, from searching previous work and planning experiments, to preparing and performing tests, and then documenting and interpreting the results. An ELN from BIOVIA increases knowledge sharing and collaboration, eliminating the “dark data” problem that plagues paper-based labs, where up to 90% of data is only used once and then lost or forgotten. With an ELN, up to 85% of experimental data is re-used. Unnecessary repetition of experiments is also reduced, making better use of limited resources.

Choose Your ELN

BIOVIA has 3 different electronic lab notebooks, each with unique strengths and features. All ELNs can integrate directly with BIOVIA ONE Lab, for seamless workflows as scientists move through their activities. Each ELN is available on the cloud.
