Karlo, thank you for your lovely review! We take pride in ensuring that all our modules interact seamlessly, so it's fantastic to hear that you find them well-integrated. Regarding the expandability of our API, we encourage you to explore the newly added API calls along our recently released Developer Hub, which has many readily available recipes! Additionally, we are excited to announce that we now offer API calls for ChatGPT integration. This integration opens even more possibilities for customization and innovation. As for the autosave feature, we understand its importance and have already created a ticket for our development team; it is now on our roadmap, so stay tuned! To ensure that you are included in the updates and progress of this feature request, please reach out to our Support Desk to submit your request.
Weniger schlechte ELN-Lösung
Kommentare: 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).
Vorteile:
eLabJournal ist recht übersichtlich und einfach zu bedienen, hat einen relativ guten Funktionsumfang. Die Nutzer- und Admin-Verwaltung ist gut und übersichtlich.
Nachteile:
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.

Functionality and Superb Customer Support
Kommentare: Our overall experience with eLab Journal has been exceptional. We are glad we chose to partner with them because they were definitely the right choice! They have helped us immensely and we would not have achieved a successful project outcome without them.
Vorteile:
Working with the team at eLab Journal to implement our LIMS and make enhancements as our laboratory has grown has been a wonderful experience. Everyone we have worked with is responsive and collaborative. The software itself has amazing functionality and provides the features we need to act as an efficient, high throughput testing laboratory.
Nachteile:
When we implemented the software in 2020, some of the menu items and navigation seemed disjointed and not exceptionally intuitive. eLab Journal has evolved since then and we have seen improvements. The team is also open to our feedback as system users.
Antwort von eLabNext
vor 2 Jahren
Thank you for your review of eLabJournal, Maura happy to hear that you've noticed our improvements, and we always appreciate the great feedback! Since October 2021, we have implemented several new UI updates, reorganized the navigation tools, and taken a more multi-disciplinary approach to the menu items so that chemists, biologists, research techs, and lab directors can easily access their unique day-to-day workflows within the system. Stay tuned for additional major updates by 2023!
eLab Protocols offers a great all-in-one solution to protocol development and refinement
Kommentare: So far my experience with eLab Protocols has been great and has offered an easy and streamlined means for communicating methologies that have worked well and for iterating on as these methods improve. I am excited to utilize the AI-based protocol generator function in this step of the process as well since it showed some promising outputs on some preliminary demos I performed. It still generates/hallucinates citations and can provide .
Vorteile:
The template generation and easy iteration of commonly used protocols in the lab has and will continue to be invaluable for our operations across our two sites.
Nachteile:
The slow adoption of the protocols function within the eLab protocol may be attributed to some of the clunky nature of generating a protocol from scratch in eLab, which can be challenging from a format perspective. However, generating the outline in a 3rd party platform such as Microsoft Word and then utilizing the import function has been great for generating rapid protocol skeletons that can then be populated/fine-tuned based on the user. Also the lack of a spell-check function makes 3rd party platforms more effecitive for generating error-free templates.

eLabNext recommendation
Kommentare: Userfriendly. Very helpful customer support
Vorteile:
Easy to use, modular, everything is tracable
Nachteile:
Takes some time to set it up at first, but then you quickly get a lot of benefits
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Benchling
Gründe für den Wechsel zu eLabNext: complete package of eln and inventory, place of server
False starts
Kommentare: Undecided if its an improvement or not. The jury is still out.
Vorteile:
Not sure really havnt started using it properly yet, taken a lot of time to sort out the infrastructure, would be easier if the Elab team has better insight into the peripherals and things needed to start using the software effectively
Nachteile:
Very slow to get up and running-this is mainly due to limited home resource and nothing to do with the product. However Eppendorff could start to sell printers and labels etc so they cover everything you need to start embedding the software effectively

A useful everyday tool.
Kommentare: Would never go back to a paper based system now.
Vorteile:
Easy to use, traceable and auditable. Helps planning, organisation and tracking of work.
Nachteile:
Labelling of images, gel images for example, is tricky and much easier to do in other packages and bring in the images already labelled.
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Benchling
Gründe für den Wechsel zu eLabNext: Several others were considered, but eLAbJournal was voted as the easiest to use by the users and met our requirements.

Digitalization of Manufacturing Processes at Viralgen using eLabJournal
Vorteile:
When using eLabJournal we take advantage of: - We no longer use paper-based experiments. - Instead of having different repositories for experiment and sample results, everything is stored in a single digital repository, avoiding the exchange of mails with these results. - The Audit Trail of the samples is really good. - You can trace the Samples that are used in an experiment really easily. - Sample reception process using QR has simplified this process within Viralgen. - The ingestion of data from third party software using API is straightforward. - The implementation of eLAbJournal has allowed more communication between laboratories and departments. - The integration with other third-party applications is possible using the API. In our case with SAP.
Nachteile:
- When being used to paper-based experiments, the investment of time you need to digitalize your experiments in eLabJournal is really high. - We miss some Project/Study/Experiment filtering tools.
eLab - easy to use and effective
Vorteile:
quick integration and setting up the zebra printer only took seconds
Nachteile:
I would use same name for experiement, project, and sometimes study.
Elab experience in a developing country
Kommentare: Elab has the most complete functionality of a LMS, since it covers inventory and protocol management that can be arranged per project per team.
Vorteile:
I like the inventory of equipment and samples functionality of elab. The integration of microsoft office is a big help.
Nachteile:
Navigation can be complicated in the beginning.

Best Lab Journal
Vorteile:
Comprehensive software with experiment, sample and equipment management. Very practical for small or large companies
Nachteile:
Sometimes a little slow to set up at first.
Easy to use, handy
Kommentare: the software has easy and self-explaining user interface. its a good medium to catalogue my inventories as well as define different protocols for better coordination among lab members
Vorteile:
Good to use, easy to handle, easy for cataloging
Nachteile:
Kindly compile all the tutorial videos together for better understanding.

Thank you for your review, Suresh! We're happy to hear you've enjoyed using eLabJournal. We are working to provide more tutorial videos to our users. We hope to be able to share them with you soon. Greetings, Olivia
Easy to use, just it needs some patience.
Kommentare: In general I would recoment it. It's functional, user-friendly, and one single platform to keep easy access to labnotes/Inventories records.
Vorteile:
It is kind of intuitive. It doesn't need much training to start. It's useful when sharing on real time the information between different sites, and that is deeply relevant when teams are located in different cities and need to have access to the information. Very friendly when adding collaborators and working together writing a protocol/experiment. Excelent for record keeping and great that deleted info/vials can be found if is requiered.
Nachteile:
It requieres patience with the constant improvements and glitches. Now I am doing the refreshing as a part of the steps while using ELN. It is not too flexible and strongly recommend first to generate the protocol/experiment in other format and then just import it to this platform. That will save you time and headaches. Always have to save before you move between steps/sections, even in the same experiment. There are limitations in term of how to organize an experiment.

Xochitl, we appreciate your review. We're glad you've found the eLabNext interface intuitive and user-friendly, especially when collaborating with colleagues across different sites. Have you tried our free AI Protocol Generator add-on in the eLab Marketplace?? It's great for drafting new protocols and could help speed up your import process. We'd love to hear your suggestions for bringing more flexibility to your experiment layout. Please reach out to our Support Desk, and we'll pass the feedback on to our developers for consideration in a future update of our platform.
An Easy-to-Use Inventory Management System
Kommentare: eLabInventory has been an overall very positive investment and experience for our organization. We have been able to consolidate and organize our stored inventory in multiple spaces, which was originally solely tracked by Excel files or staff memory. We have streamlined our processes for accessing existing samples and storing new ones, as well as our shipping procedure. We are able to quickly locate, identify, and manipulate sample entries using eLabInventory, obtaining the additional details of each sample by easily exporting the data from the software. We remain GLP compliant through the audit-trail features of the system and can quickly search archived entries for auditing or study coordination. The Customer Serivce provided by the US Eastern team has been phenomenal and they are extremely knowledgeable; they are very quick to respond and very helpful when issues arise. All customers also can submit requests for new features, some of which eventually make it into the software configuration in future updates.
Vorteile:
eLabInventory allows users to enter, search, locate, relocate, and export data in a simple UI. The interface is clean and relatively easy to navigate, with only needed features visible. It is completely customizable as far as sample type, field options, label templating, and storage/equipment configuration. The add-ons for barcode automation and bulk sample manipulation are extremely useful and make the software more robust on a daily-use basis.
Nachteile:
There were unique implementation challenges when first setting up the software, like not being able to transfer samples between groups with having Shared storage locations or specific automation steps not executing to manipulate samples in the most efficient ways. Once the capabilities and limitations of the software were learned, then these were relatively straight-forward items to work with, but not having a clear understanding of how the software operates leading up to implementation, along with an overwhelming Help document library, made fast implementation unsuccessful. Better/more training from the vendor, tutorial videos rather than text or screenshots, and a pre-made framework version to fit our organization's needs would have been very helpful.

Keeping track of your samples is made so easy
Vorteile:
Once a sample is generated, the sample history and what experiments it has been used in can be read in the samples sheet. So you not only know what happened to your samples (how many freeze thaws) but also who used the sample. Offspring of your sample can easily be tracked. This is vital sample management.
Nachteile:
We could not answer some of our questions using the question mark but when we reached out to eLab we got prompt replies. In the beginning eLab was a bit difficult to learn and a proper training by eLab is advisable to make sure you are using eLab at its full potential.

Using the eLabNext software has increased productivity in our company
Kommentare: Using the eLabNext software has increased productivity in our lab. This software has given us an efficient way to keep track of our inventory, experiments, and even equipment! As our team grows, we need an effective way to cohesively collect and share all our data and information--eLabNext does just that and much more!
Vorteile:
The eLabNext software has allowed us to stay organized in the lab. For example, the Inventory tab has allowed us to keep track of our inventory in a more efficient way. In the same matter, the Journal tab has been helpful in putting together our experiment results, studies, and projects. We find this tab especially useful since we can pull different parts from eLabJournal (I.e., add inventory, protocols, etc.) to make a completed report.

Sample management
Kommentare: overall experience is good and the pro's far outweigh the cons
Vorteile:
elabjournal allows me to track sample usage and movements across the lab
Nachteile:
Printing could be better, we use a Brady BBP12 and it isn't directly supported, ideally I would like the function to be able to design the label in a wysiwyg function built in to the package
eLab is bringing our labs to the next level!
Kommentare: Very satisfactory. Our end-users are very happy with the solution and we are receiving positive feedback. The team around Zareh is very knowledgeable about their product but also about the current market and trends. The collaboration is outstanding as any interaction is honest, transparent and direct. I would highly recommend to work with Zareh and his team.
Vorteile:
eLab is a very user-friendly and intuitive platform. We name it a platform because various modules are offered such as sample, equipment, storage unit management, ELN, Protocols, etc. The platform and the modules are highly integrated and data integration is very satisfactory. Getting data in and out from eLab can be perfectly managed via the API. The open architecture and marketplace allows us to develop add-ons and use them directly in eLab! Due to the very low costs and plenty of useful functionalities compared to others on the market, eLab was a no-brainer for us to implement on a larger scale.
Nachteile:
The only missing item I would add, which is rather a "nice-tohave" than a "myst-have" for us is Dashboarding/Visualization within eLab.

Currently, our Timeline does this to some extent, but there is room for improvement!
