SciNote

SciNote is a cloud-based Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) software designed to help scientists and research teams manage their data, protocols, inventory, and compliance activities in one centralized platform. Used by the FDA, USDA, and scientists across 100+ countries, SciNote serves laboratories in pharma, biotech, academia, and beyond — helping teams work faster, more accurately, and in full regulatory compliance.

SciNote's flexible structure organizes research around projects, experiments, and tasks, mirroring how scientific work actually happens. Users can store notes, Excel sheets, tables, checklists, pictures, and files of various formats, and connect all data to relevant experiments and results. On average, SciNote ELN users save 9 hours per week through streamlined data recording, templated workflows, and auto-generated reports.

Core ELN Features

• Project and task management: Organize work by projects, experiments, and tasks; write notes, assign inventory items, add protocols, and check off completed protocol steps.
• Results and reporting: Upload results in multiple file formats or use hyperlinks to link research data; auto-generate project reports so you always know what was done, when, how, and by whom.
• Advanced search: Instantly search across all projects, experiments, files, and file content using keyword search to find any critical research data.
• Protocol templates: Create reusable templates for protocols and standard operating procedures, track version history, and share them with your team. SciNote integrates with protocols.io for easy protocol import.
• Visualized workflows: See how connected tasks fit together through visual workflow representations, making it easier to understand project progress at a glance.
• Team collaboration: Post comments, tag and notify team members, delegate tasks, and keep everyone informed on project progress to speed up lab management and correspondence.

Lab Inventory Management

• Store all lab supplies and equipment in one place and connect them directly to projects, experiments, and results for full traceability.
• Automate tracking of lab inventory usage with a built-in stock management and labeling system.
• Assign team duties and maintain schedules to keep the entire team aligned on inventory responsibilities.

Compliance and Data Integrity

• Supports GxP, GLP, GMP, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance with a complete toolset including electronic signatures, audit trail, timestamps, activity logs, and access controls.
• Auto-backup of scientific data and built-in data integrity best practices for day-to-day regulatory activities.
• Compliant with GDPR requirements; detailed data protection measures include encryption, user roles and permissions, and secure server infrastructure.
• A dedicated Data Protection whitepaper covers encryption, user permissions, servers, 21 CFR Part 11, GDPR, GLP/GMP, and data export options.

Mobile Access

• SciNote offers a mobile app for both Android and iOS devices, available for smartphones and tablets.
• Mobile users can check off protocol steps, add comments, upload files, and post results in real time from anywhere in the lab.

Key Benefits and ROI

• Improves efficiency, collaboration, and data security, resulting in faster and more accurate data recording.
• Simplifies workflows and makes data sharing easier, helping labs achieve research objectives quickly and cost-effectively.
• Easy to learn and customize — the projects/experiments/tasks structure can be adapted to fit the specific needs of any laboratory.
• Trusted by over 100,000 scientists worldwide, including teams at regulatory agencies such as the FDA and USDA.

SciNote provides a comprehensive, scalable ELN solution that combines research data management, lab inventory tracking, team collaboration, and regulatory compliance tools in a single, user-friendly platform — making it a strong choice for laboratories seeking to modernize their operations and protect their scientific data.
