Labfolder is an electronic lab notebook that allows you to organize, record and share data obtained in a laboratory on a secure platform.
Since 2019, Labfolder is used by a number of research groups at Helmholtz HZI Centres. The roll-out process was initiated with a number of groups in Braunschweig, Saarbrücken and Würzburg. Ultimately the software will be available to all HZI research groups upon request. The Helmholtz HZI licenses Labfolder via a central contract so that researchers can focus on its use instead of dealing with contracting and licensing costs.
Labfolder can be used on the central installation provided by the Helmholtz HZI, where all of your data will be securely stored locally. To create a new account, you must be connected to the local Helmholtz HZI network.
Take full advantage of Labfolder’s extensive features and streamline research documentation, collaboration and compliance within the laboratory.
Integrate all your data directly into your records
Search and filter through full texts to find entries
Customize entries by dragging and dropping different elements
Collaborate with colleagues
Create templates and protocols for recurring workflows
Set up multiple inventories to organize laboratory materials
Securely encrypted via SSL and backed up regularly

Watch this webinar recording and learn how data capture in Labfolder groups can be standardized and how that facilitates working collaboratively on projects and experiments.
Here you can find our two video tutorial series for Labfolder and Labregister. In these videos, you learn everything you need to know to get started with our electronic lab notebook and our inventory management system.
Hi, I am Katharina. As the LIV success manager I am supporting you with the optimal implementation of Labfolder by consulting you in individual introductory calls and providing you with training sessions.
Before joining Labforward, I worked in various biochemical as well as biotechnological laboratories. Starting out working with traditional notebooks before using ELNs myself, I am convinced that ELNs are the future for modern labs as they make daily work and collaboration so much easier.
Select one of the buttons below depending on which online training workshop you would like to select for your team or schedule a Kick-Off Session here:
In case you have any specific questions or requests, you can also contact me via katharina.marx@labforward.io.
Are you ready to begin the journey of optimizing your data, improving collaboration, effortlessly complying with laboratory standards, and generally making life in the lab easier? Then schedule a Labfolder training session to set up your ELN for success.
This training session consists of two parts:
During this interactive training session you will be able to ask any questions you might have regarding your ELN!
Every researcher works with a number of materials, such as antibodies, chemicals or plasmids. You may even wish to catalogue devices that are used in your laboratory.
Using this built-in inventory system allows you to categorize your inventory lists and manage access rights appropriately. Additionally, you will be able to link your inventory items in your lab notes which can help you to increase traceability and reproducibility of your experiments.
Interested in managing your inventory with Labregister? Then book this session.
Schedule a Labregister Training
Usually, explaining all available features or going through tutorials is a great way to get started with a new software. But sometimes the really difficult questions arise only once you have actually started using your ELN. Do not hesitate to reach out to us via the support button in the ELN. Or collect all questions that you (and your entire team) have and book a dedicated Q&A.
Our team again has carefully chosen and prepared a new round of webinars. With these live sessions, you will get the opportunity to learn more about the various aspects of Laboratory 4.0
Take a look at our server release notes to see the latest server updates. Read about which functionalities have been added to Labfolder and which bugs were fixed.
Labfolder’s support team is entirely composed of former scientists, understanding the struggles in the laboratory. We are happy to help you with any questions you may have about using our ELN. In order to quickly address any problems you are experiencing, we would kindly ask you to send a short description together with some screenshots to feedback@labfolder.com.
We are also the right people to contact if you have any suggestions for features that you think are missing in Labfolder. Again, please explain what functionality you are looking for and what you are trying to achieve with this.
