“Great ELN for Academic Labs”

SciNote has been a great way for our lab to stay organized and keep protocols, inventory, and data in one place. We use it every day for taking notes, keeping track of grant experiments, surgical experiments, cell culturing, etc. It’s very user friendly and the SciNote team are very responsive and helpful when we have any problems.

“Easy to learn, easy to use”

It is an intuitive userface that makes it easy to use. It doesn’t have overcomplicated to make a lab notebok entry so it wasn’t difficult to introduce this system to my teams. It’s also affordable.
