What is an electronic lab notebook (ELN)?
An electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) is a digital version of the conventional paper lab notebook used for scientific research. It is designed to provide an easy way of recording and accessing your scientific data. Scientists use ELN notebooks like SciNote to improve productivity, research data integrity, and team collaboration.
Manage your research in one place
SciNote’s flexibility allows you to organize all your data in your preferred way. It gives structure and context to all your notes, excel sheets, tables, checklists, or pictures.
Advantages of using an electronic laboratory notebook software
An ELN software will save you time
Quickly find any research data in your digital lab notebook, replicate processes and experiments with templates, and report faster with auto-generated project reports. SciNote ELN users save on average 9 hours per week.
Fast return on investment (ROI)
An ELN lab notebook software improves efficiency, collaboration, and data security, resulting in faster and more accurate data recording, simplifying workflows and making data sharing easier. It helps labs achieve their research objectives quickly and cost-effectively.
It’s easy to learn and a pleasure to use
SciNote adopts a projects / experiments / tasks structure that emulates how research happens, and a flexible set-up you can customize to fit your needs. You can even see how connected tasks fit together through visualized workflows.

SciNote Reviews & Testimonials
Join 90k+ scientists from all the world who already do their research faster, more accurate with SciNote Electronic Lab Notebook.
“Easy to use electronic lab notebook”
I really liked how easy to use and organized Scinote is. The function that allows you to categorize the molecules and cells tested in an assay is really useful to then search quickly the data you are interested in. The possibility to attach excel files and power point presentations make really easy to show summaries of the experiments.
“Goodbye paper – hello digitalization”
I really like to have everything I need in the lab (protocols, experimental setup, inventories and results) in one place and to be able to access it from anywhere. No more paper sheets with notes and printed results that have to be put into a paper notebook. Not to mention the fact, that the SciNote team is very friendly and always available for questions.
“Easy to use, always improving, and great customer support – SciNote’s great!”
The customer support has been and continues to be excellent. The team at SciNote has gone above and beyond to listen to and take my colleagues’ feedback seriously; we’ve seen many of our suggestions implemented over a year, and SciNote has continued to evolve to suit our company’s needs.
