### "This is the best!"

August 24, 2022

5.0

Pros

ELab is the most straightforward system we found. We paid for a different system, but despite trying to understand how to use it, we remained deeply frustrated. We checked out several systems; it was an easy decision to change to eLab one we tried it. The best part of eLab was the help from the support person, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]. It would be impossible to even begin to explain how much patience he had. He spent time between our calls considering our work and designing a template that would work for us. I had been unable to fully explain what I had in mind, but \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] designed something that was exactly what I wanted (but couldn't explain). Whether you are involved in research with multiple layers of overlapping data or are tracking daily changes in a single study, this software can get you what you need...on the simpler end of that, it can be difficult to find a system that will work for you. The system, the support staff, and the price are all wonderful.

Cons

There is absolutely no downside to this system. There is nothing to not like.

Reason for choosing SciSure

ELab is the best. The user interface is heads above the others.

One of the better options that I have tried

Pros

Easy to use overall, ability to track cells history throughout experiments, template applications

Cons

### "eLABJournal improves your data management"

April 29, 2019

5.0

My overall experience with eLABJournal is very positive. It definitely improves my data management and it has a lot of benefits when you collaborate with colleagues and students. I definitely recommend this to any wet-lab scientist!

Pros

Having worked with eLabjournal for nearly 3 year, I definitely learned to appreciate its overall function for data management. You collect everything (e.g. data, protocol, notes, analysis, conclusions) in one software and you have everything accessible with a few clicks. Furthermore, I enjoy the Inventory a lot, as I can easily find back all my samples quickly.

Cons

As with any new system, in the beginning it takes some time to get used to the navigation in eLabjournal. Logically also the structure is different than in a "diary-like" hard-copy lab book.

Katharina, thank you for reviewing eLabJournal - we appreciate your commitment to the platform and hope to continue being your one-stop shop for digital lab tools in the coming years! The structure of eLabJournal was designed as a 3-tiered project management-style workflow to encourage standardization and organization within your lab records, from Project to Study to Experiment/Report. We're glad that you have gotten used to it, but we'd love to know how we can make the learning curve shorter! If you have additional suggestions for how to improve the platform, feel free to reach out to your Key Account Manager to share your thoughts!

### "eLabJournal is a great ELN"

July 19, 2023

5.0

As a preclinical organization we have been able to grow with the solution, and even implement customizations just for us using their private cloud option. There account management and support staff are very professional and responsive.

Pros

The product is easy to deploy and use, and the support provided is excellent. All at a very attractive price.

Cons

There are some improvement opportunities in areas like inventory management. From an IT perspective it would be great to have a more simple add-in management option as the current system regularly requires moving between a couple of screens.

### "Replace the paper notebook"

August 27, 2021

4.0

Pros

eLabJournal is an easy and efficient way to replace the paper notebook. It's really user friendly. We use also a lot the inventory and it is convenient to link samples to experiment.

Cons

The most feature that could be improved is the way to add samples in experiment (in used/generated samples section). Indeed, when we search the sample, it's only in the browser, so we need to know the location of the sample and we can only add samples located in a same box at a time. If we could add a sample in experiment by searching a sample in the same way that we can search a sample in the Inventory -> sample list section, it could be really easy to add samples.

Thank you for reviewing eLabJournal Marie! We absolutely agree that this can be improved, and our team is working on it - stay tuned for more updates on this topic! In the meantime, have you tried the Scan to ELN add-on available for free in our Marketplace? This feature lets you scan barcoded samples directly into your experiment sections and can really help streamline the input process. Our development team is also working on a full redesign of our Inventory module that will optimize your sample management workflows with a host of new features and improvements! - - - - -

### "eLab Journal improves my work efficiency!"

October 27, 2023

5.0

Pros

eLAB journal is easy to use and customizable for my experiment record. The cloud-based system allows me to track my experiment history as well as my coworker's records from my benchtop/TC room without running back to my desk or asking around. Truly this feature saves me time and I can follow the record by reducing any mistakes.

Cons

There are still some limitations in inserting raw data files, such as Excel data or sequencing results.

### "University of Arkansas Lab Auditor Review"

October 10, 2019

2.0

Overall BioRAFT has been more trouble than helpful. It only works if the professors and students use it and many have been very frustrated with it so they do not use it until we tell them to. I have many emails from professors complaining about multiple aspects of the software that I would be happy to share.

Pros

I like the tracking of lab members and their training. That s about it. But that only works if the professors do their part. Many professors have complained about the inability to temporarily suspend a member who has left the lab and will return at a later date. they do not like the fact that they have to remove the member and reenter them to stop the harassing emails regarding overdue training.

Cons

Everything else. 1. I especially do not like the software bugs and the enormous amount of time it takes to use. Being logged out or loosing entered information after saving has been the biggest problem among many. I have multiple emails regarding lost time and data. I have to copy and paste everything I key into BioRAFT into a word document in anticipation that what I entered could be lost. 2. Exporting the chemical inventory where it is readable and printable has been a real disappointment. 3. The Labs vs Spaces disconnect is absolutely ridiculous and does not seem very well thought out.

### "Weniger schlechte ELN-Lösung"

April 14, 2023

3.0

Von den ELNs die ich kenne ist eLabJournal noch das beste, aber ich verstehe trotzdem, warum viele StudentInnen und Postdocs nach wie vor Papier-Bücher verwenden. Vieles ist einfach mühsam und kann nur über Umwege einigermaßen umgesetzt werden (vor allem in meinem Bereich, Mikroskopie).

Pros

eLabJournal ist recht übersichtlich und einfach zu bedienen, hat einen relativ guten Funktionsumfang. Die Nutzer- und Admin-Verwaltung ist gut und übersichtlich.

Cons

Es sind dann doch zu viele offensichtliche Funktionen, die fehlen. Eine kurze Auswahl: # Verlinkung zu externen Daten (die zum Beispiel zu groß sind zum Hochladen). Am besten mit etablierten QCs wie Checksummen, NFTs oder Ähnlichem.# Durchgehende Versionskontrolle (manchmal kann man alte Versionen sehen & herunterladen, manchmal nur sehen, manchmal muss man sie wiederherstellen, um sie sehen zu können). Dabei ist "Versioning" doch in der Softwarewelt ein seit Jahrzehnten gelöstes Problem.# Import von Mikroskopie-Bilddateien über "Bioformats"-Standard; ideal wäre ein integrierter Web-Viewer für Bilddateien im Originalformat (naheliegend: OMERO).# Maßeinheiten nicht frei definierbar.

Reason for choosing SciSure

Andere ELNs sind noch schwächer.

### "eLJ strongly increases productivity, some room for improvement"

April 24, 2019

4.0

We use eLJ in quasi-GLP mode, with witnessing and a strict SOP for documenting. Overall very high improvement in productivity since we introduced it.

Pros

\- traceability of data, search function, easy to do forensics on what went wrong in an experiment - clear structure into projects, studies and experiments - basic functionality very easy to use, reliable - much faster than paper lab journal - collaboration of scientists across different locations

Cons

\- some functions cumbersome to use, e.g. bulk imports and especially exports of inventory or products - picture editing function very rudimentary, hardly usable - moving of experiments between projects or studies cumbersome

Thank you for sharing your eLabJournal experience, Lorenzo. We are happy to hear that the platform boosted your lab's productivity! With regards to image editing, do you have a preferred image editor installed on your computer? The eLabWebEdit application allows you to open items in a File Attachment section for editing with your computer's local software and uploads the finished file back to eLab; this enables you to maintain an unbroken audit trail within the platform, so it may be worth exploring further if you prefer other image editing software. Please also consider getting in touch with your Key Account Manager to provide more detailed feedback on moving experiments, as this will help us to incorporate your recommendations in our next series of updates to the system! We appreciate your input, and look forward to working with you!

### "Excellent software"

October 11, 2019

5.0

Overall, I feel we chose the right software for out needs.

Pros

I really like having all the information about my lab responsibilities on one page. The dashboard functions for reports are excellent. It is really easy to communicate with the researchers through this system. Tracking and following findings is really easy in the inspection module.

Cons

One thing i really don't like concerns the inspection module. The sysqtem does not bring you back to the inspection list once you update a specific inspection and submit it. You have navigate back to the list using the left navigation menu. It should just take you back to the inspection list once you submit. The following are little things that would make the system a lot better: - Exportable dashboard graphs. - Email reminders for equipment certifications or expirations in the equipment module. - option to add additional equipment that is not in the preached list.

Reason for choosing SciSure

The functions and simplicity.

### "eLAB Journal is a great tool for any kind of research lab"

April 26, 2019

4.0

eLAB is definitely keeping everything from project planning, data, and inventory very organized and very accessible. The customer service from the company is also great. We had someone come to our lab to help us implement the system and are happy with the level of responsiveness from the company when you have a question or problem.

Pros

The ability to easily track inventory, whether it be samples, chemicals, or freezer space. We also like ability to have central storage for our data that is easily accessible.

Cons

The interface to print labels is very hard to use. You have to create code to make the labels, I was expecting a much easier setup since the rest of eLAB is so easy to use. We also wish that there was a way to create fillable data sheets in the system that was not just directly importing from excel.

Response from eLabNext

July 12, 2022

Thank you for reviewing eLabJournal Tracy. Making labels can sometimes be a bit time consuming if you have very specific needs, but once the templates are created, then it just as easy as 1, 2, 3. With that said, we have a few new add-ons in our Marketplace that can help alleviate the pain points you've mentioned! FLUICS Print is a full-service label solution that includes free label design services to all eLabNext customers which takes away your need to create those templates yourself. In addition, our Office Online add-on will enable you to embed and edit Excel sheets (also Word, and PPT) directly within your experiments. If you're interested in learning more about these features, let us know and we'll connect you with your dedicated account manager for a demonstration!

I have greatly enjoyed the implementation and usage of BioRAFT. Representative and her team have been excellent in walking us through the process. I love how it streamlines not only the processes on the EHS end, but also lessens the burden on researcher end.

Pros

I love that this is one place where you have all laboratory information right at your fingertips. It's user-friendly, has a fast response time, and automates many of the processes that I used to have to do manually.

We have been using eLAB for about 6 months now and it has greatly improved our organization and efficiency. My favorite part is having the COA and QC documents pertaining to each individual antibody/protein all in one place. Shortly our company will be kicking off a 1,250 patient clinical trial and eLAB is going to be an integral part of managing the study. eLAB is very customizable and capable of meeting many different needs, I’m sure that with continued use we will discover even more features that will help improve our work flow. Additionally the eLAB team is incredibly responsive and easy to work with. Thanks for the help getting us going and answering all of our questions.

Pros

I really appreciate how many ways you can customize the software to meet different needs.

It's common to have a period of adjustment when transitioning to a digital lab solution, which is why eLabNext assigns every client a dedicated account manager to provide consultations and additional training as needed. If you're not sure how to contact your account manager, feel free to send a message to our Support Team and they will be happy to connect you! Our goal is to have you be very comfortable in the system within 2-3 weeks, so please don't hesitate to reach out if we can help you reach this point!

### "Easy to work "

September 25, 2020

4.0

Pros

I like this software because it is easy to work with and keeps things very organized and clean. It is also easy to share with others.

Cons

I would like to hand-write directly on the document to have it like paper notebook. There are some differences in mobile app and the website. I would like to have similar features for mobile and desktop app.

Hi Sakashi, thank you for sharing your experience with the platform! While the Mobile App isn't intended to match the browser's functionality 1-for-1, there are a few unique features that make it a great companion piece to the desktop version of eLab when you're "on-the-fly" and away from your computer (ex. the voice transcription functionality allows you to dictate notes hand-free!). That said, our new UI has a mobile-friendly design that will allow you to use the full version of eLabJournal on your tablet or phone's browser! If you're looking to handwrite text and have it translated into a digital format, there are app extension on both iOS and Android that can be installed for use as a secondary keyboard. There's an app called Handrwiring, that is mostly used by our customers, consider trying that! In the meantime, we've recently allocated a number of resources into optimizing the Mobile App, so stay tuned for more details!
