ActiveLN

ActiveLN is a web-based, secure, modular, and expandable Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) developed by ATGC Labs. Designed to be cost-efficient and suitable for all scientific and applied tasks, it is easy to install, use, and extend with new workflows. ActiveLN is built around how people actually work in practice, enabling organizations to design, implement, and run business rules and business processes that help them respond quickly when requirements and conditions change.

The platform supports the full spectrum of laboratory activity — from managing experiments that produce large amounts of data to enabling enterprise-wide collaboration and knowledge sharing. ActiveLN's business activity monitoring and automation modules identify meaningful events across projects, spot trends, analyze their impact, and take action in real time, providing researchers with vital, up-to-date information. A free, fully functional 60-day demo version is available for evaluation.
