For scientists
Capture experimental data where it is produced
Instructions, observations, measurements and samples used stay in one experiment record from the first entry through scientific review.
- Versioned protocols
- Structured measurements
- EU hosted
At the bench
Documentation gaps appear between tools
When instructions, raw observations and material details live separately, the experiment has to be reconstructed later. LabNote.Light keeps them together on the record.
Unclear protocol version
The version that was run must remain distinguishable from later protocol changes.
Materials added after the fact
Sample ID and equipment used otherwise have to be recovered from notes and files.
Observation without context
Free text alone does not show which step, measurement or record a deviation belongs to.
Review starts too late
Missing information is often noticed only when the record is already under review.
One experiment record
From protocol to reviewed record
One example shows what is captured during execution and how it becomes a reviewable record.
- 01
Select protocol
Use a released version or begin with a blank entry.
- 02
Run
Capture checklist items, actual amounts, measurements and observations by step.
- 03
Link records
Attach the samples and equipment used directly to the experiment.
- 04
Review and sign
Compare versions, resolve open points and lock the reviewed record.
Execution
Keep the active step in view
Instruction, required field, planned value and actual amount sit in the same workspace. Progress is saved step by step.
Experiment context
Records used stay with the entry
Samples can also be attached through a QR entry point. Equipment is selected deliberately and remains accessible from the experiment.
Review
Review changes before signing
Earlier versions can be compared. Signing locks the entry; later additions are recorded as amendments.
Concrete capabilities
Capabilities for day-to-day laboratory work
Fixed protocol state
An applied protocol remains as its own snapshot on the run.
Protect work in progress
Autosave and draft recovery reduce lost input; conflicts are not silently overwritten.
Structured output
Entries can be exported as PDF or Markdown; larger PDF jobs can run in the background.
Visible integrity checks
Signature verification distinguishes valid, modified, broken and legacy signature-chain states.
Common questions
Can I use LabNote.Light on a tablet?
The interface adapts to tablets and phones. Reading and writing require an internet connection; offline synchronization is not promised.
What can I search?
Global search covers titles and identifiers for records including experiments, projects, samples and equipment. Attachment contents are not full-text indexed.
Which exports are available?
Experiment entries can be exported as PDF or Markdown. Large entries can use background PDF processing.
What happens after signing?
The entry is locked. Later additions are documented as amendments with author, timestamp and text.
Evaluate the scientist workflow in early access
During early access, we review your protocols, experiment workflows and review steps together. General release is planned for 2027.
