ELN

StackWave ELN is a modern, web-based Electronic Laboratory Notebook designed for scientists who need a simple, flexible, and powerful way to record observations and capture unstructured data throughout the lab. Built on cutting-edge web technologies, it is suitable for research and development teams in life sciences who want to move away from paper-based or legacy ELN systems and centralise their laboratory data in one searchable, secure platform.

The application is accessible from both desktop computers and mobile devices, allowing scientists to compose notes, attach files, insert images, and take pictures directly from wherever they are working. StackWave ELN maximises the value of recorded content by making every document, spreadsheet, note, and even scanned image fully searchable through a powerful global search tool.

Data Capture and Organisation

• Compose free-form notes and attach any kind of file, including images and PDFs, viewable directly within the browser without leaving the application.
• Group notes into notebooks to keep content well-organised, and apply tags to important notes for an additional layer of organisation and retrieval.
• Move notes between notebooks as needed, or copy them to create a convenient starting point for new entries.
• Create reusable note templates to outline assay protocols, reports, and other documentation, enabling scientists to quickly fill in the blanks and save time.
• Global search covers all notes, attachments, and even scanned document images, ensuring nothing is lost or hard to find.

External System Integration and Smart Data Linking

• StackWave ELN can be configured to automatically identify proteins, compounds, samples, assay results, and other important data referenced within notes.
• The system intelligently incorporates information from both external and internal systems directly into notes, making external resources easily accessible.
• Deep integration is supported with LIMS, SDMS, LIS, asset management, resource management systems, and more, facilitated by StackWave's experienced software engineering team.
• All unstructured data about potential therapeutics can be collected in one place, making it actionable and enabling comparison of items of interest across studies.

Compliance, Security, and Audit Trail

• StackWave ELN is designed to comply with 21 CFR Part 11 regulatory requirements.
• Every operation performed within the application is stored for subsequent review and auditing purposes.
• Access control policies are enforced at every level of the application to ensure security and compliance.
• Electronic signatures can be applied for witnessing, with a full signature chain tracked for each note.
• Once a note is signed, the system takes steps to prevent further modification and to prove that content has not changed since the signature was applied.
• A complete record of changes made to each note is available for review at any time.

StackWave ELN is available as a web application that can be hosted on-premises or in a secure cloud environment. Initial deployment and setup takes less than a day for most scenarios, and StackWave's extensive experience in systems integration makes it a strong partner for teams looking to transition away from legacy ELN systems.
