Electronic Lab Notebook for BIH scientists
Labfolder at BIH
In 2017, BIH and Labfolder signed a contract for organization-wide use of the electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) Labfolder.
As a result, all laboratory teams and scientists working at BIH/Charité are able to use Labfolder ELN to optimize data recording and management for free. Just like paper lab notebooks, the data stored in Labfolder belongs to the respective institution where the researcher is employed.
Take full advantage of Labfolder’s extensive features and streamline research documentation, collaboration and compliance within the laboratory.
What are the benefits of using an electronic lab notebook?
- 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
