ELN
Experiment documentation, real-time collaboration, and automated compliance tracking connected to samples, inventory, and protocols.
Overview
SciSure ELN (formerly eLabNext/eLabJournal) is a modern Electronic Laboratory Notebook designed for researchers in academia, biotech, and industry who need a secure, intuitive platform to document, share, and organize experiments. Trusted by over 550,000 scientists, EHS professionals, and LabOps teams across more than 55,000 laboratories worldwide, SciSure ELN replaces paper notebooks and disconnected files with a structured digital workspace that connects experiment documentation directly to samples, inventory, protocols, and compliance workflows.
Unlike standalone ELN or traditional LIMS solutions, SciSure delivers a centralized platform where experiment documentation, sample management, collaboration, workflow management, and compliance are fully integrated — reducing duplicate work and ensuring data integrity across the entire lab operation.
Experiment Documentation
- Capture, organize, and search every experiment in a structured digital workspace, replacing paper notebooks and disconnected files.
- Detailed experiment management tools provide comprehensive organization and oversight of all lab work.
- Experiment templates allow teams to create and reuse standardized setups for common experiments, enforcing best practices and saving time on repetitive configurations.
- Variable parameters enable customization of procedures with dynamic fields, including variables and formulas that are easily adjustable.
- Files of any type, images, and datasets can be attached to experiments, with direct in-browser editing supported via tools such as eLabWebEdit.
- Advanced data search functionality allows researchers to quickly locate and retrieve specific data points within their documentation.
- Mobile accessibility ensures experiments can be accessed and updated from any device, including tablets and smartphones.
Real-Time Collaboration
- Team members can work on experiments simultaneously, sharing comments and updates within the platform in real time.
- Enhanced communication tools keep teams connected, aligned, and efficient without bottlenecks.
- Real-time notifications alert users to changes, comments, and approvals as they happen.
- Live editing and team-wide access differentiate SciSure from traditional ELNs and LIMS, which offer only basic or limited collaboration capabilities.
- Expert product support and training resources are available to help labs maximize the platform's capabilities.
Compliance and Audit Readiness
- Every action is automatically logged with timestamps and user IDs, providing complete traceability for compliance and reproducibility.
- Version control maintains accurate records of all document revisions and changes.
- Electronic signatures and approval workflows automate the review and approval process, eliminating manual compliance scrambles.
- Structured reporting supports regulatory requirements, including GxP and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 standards.
- Data security is ensured through time-stamped entries, digital signatures, and adherence to industry compliance standards.
- User roles and permissions are managed by administrators, who can define access levels to ensure each user has appropriate visibility and control.
Integrations and Workflow
- SciSure ELN integrates with lab instruments and other software for seamless data capture and analysis.
- A marketplace of integrations and add-ons allows labs to expand platform capabilities tailored to their specific research needs.
- Experiment documentation is fully connected with inventory, sample management, and compliance — unlike traditional ELNs where these functions remain separate or absent.
- Workflow management is flexible and fully integrated, contrasting with the rigid structures found in traditional LIMS solutions.
Onboarding and Getting Started
- Most labs can begin using SciSure within days, with an intuitive interface and guided onboarding enabling first experiments to be created on the same day an account is set up.
- The onboarding team assists with secure data migration from other ELNs or paper records, preserving existing records and structure.
- A 30-day free trial with full access is available, allowing labs to evaluate the platform without risk.
SciSure ELN is the result of the merger between eLabNext and SciShield, combining deep laboratory informatics expertise with a commitment to compliance and operational efficiency. The platform is well-suited for research teams seeking to replace Excel, paper records, and siloed databases with a unified, audit-ready digital environment that accelerates research and reduces time spent on manual administrative tasks.
