Laby

Laby is a laboratory management software platform designed for research and development laboratories of varying sizes, from small structures to large organisations. The platform provides an all-in-one solution covering electronic laboratory notebooks, inventory management, equipment supervision, quality documentation, and more, with the goal of centralising laboratory operations on a single system and reducing reliance on tools such as Excel.

Laby serves innovative laboratories across scientific disciplines and is positioned as a configurable, user-friendly system supported by a team of scientific experts. The platform is developed with user feedback contributing directly to its roadmap and ongoing development.
