Smart Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN)
Digital lab notebook software to connect your science
A unified project workflow
Core Features & Integrated Benefits:
Spreadsheet Integration
Seamlessly import, export and work within Excel spreadsheets within the ELN, preserving complex spreadsheet logic and keeping your data analysis within a secure audit trail.
Dynamic Information Syncing
Pull design data and primer sequences directly into your entries, removing the risk of transcription errors and ensuring the "Design Intent" is always visible alongside the "Experimental Result."
Effortless 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance
Every action is timestamped and attributed, with unshakeable audit trails and digital signature workflows, making compliance a byproduct of your work, not an extra workstream to manage.
Universal Search & Metadata Tagging
Every entry is indexed and searchable by project, date, sample, or custom tag, ensuring that years of research are findable in seconds.
Flexible Template Engine
Standardize your lab’s recording methods without sacrificing the flexibility needed for innovation, ensuring data consistency across the team, and rapid assembly of data for presentation or publication.
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.
