Smart Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN)
You need record keeping that keeps up; a digital lab notebook that builds itself as you work, giving you more time for science and less for admin.
Electronic lab notebook software to connect your science
Real Science. Real Workflows. Real Impact.
We've been using Lab Thread as our electronic lab notebook, and it's been a great addition to our workflow. The ELN feature is intuitive, with a logical layout that makes using the platform straightforward. I like that we can make a digital version of the lab. Being able to manage and link reagents, samples, cell lines, and plasmids directly within ELN entries makes data recording and traceability simple and efficient. This integration helps keep records organised and reduces the admin required for documenting experiments. Overall, Lab Thread has made experimental documentation more streamlined for our team.
My experience with the ELN system has been very positive. It is easy to set up, straightforward to use, and has an intuitive interface that makes navigating the system simple. The platform helps streamline documentation and record management while requiring minimal training. Overall, it is a user-friendly and efficient tool that supports daily laboratory operations effectively.
Integrate your electronic lab notebook (ELN) into a digital hub
Core Features & Integrated Benefits:
Structural Integrity for your Science
Connected Records
Link ELN entries directly to physical samples (L20) and molecular designs for total traceability.
FAIR Data
Automatically structure data to be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.
Actionable Insights
Move beyond text. Every data point is a searchable asset within your 20-level lab architecture.
Compliant & Audit Ready
Prevent data loss during student or staff turnover with a permanent, inherited digital thread.
Everything you need to know
By default, notifications will be highlighted within the app; click on the bell icon in the top right to see new notifications. Additionally, you will receive actionable notifications (such as a task assignments, sharing designs, mentions or requests for approval) via email, allowing you to take action directly from your inbox.The system will also automatically send you a “round up” email highlighting any unactioned review requests at the beginning of each week.
Yes. It's simple to import tabular data using downloadable import spreadsheets, but when exporting non-standard data formats as a pdf for archiving isn’t enough, Lab Thread can help with data migration. We offer this as a free service for Pro plan holders with >5 seats who sign up for a minimum of a two year contract with Lab Thread.
This will be possible as part of a new Analytics module currently under development, and due for release later in 2026.
Unlike first-generation digital lab notebook software that acts as a static repository for PDFs, Lab Thread is an integrated hub. It pulls live data directly from your molecular designs and LIMS inventory so your records are always in lockstep with your bench-side reality.
Yes. Every entry and edit is timestamped and attributed with unshakeable audit trails. This makes 21 CFR Part 11 compliance (the US FDA standard for digital record keeping) a natural byproduct of your work rather than an extra administrative task.
Yes. Lab Thread features seamless spreadsheet integration, allowing you to import and work within Excel files while preserving complex logic and maintaining a secure audit trail within your electronic lab notebook.
No. Lab Thread runs on the Microsoft Azure Cloud Architecture, but you do not need an Office 365 subscription to use Lab Thread.
By using digital lab notebook software to standardize data capture and metadata tagging, years of research becomes searchable in seconds. This ensures your research survives staff turnover and rapid scale-up.
